Kathleen Funchion: When the Minister of State says that it is a 58% staff vacancy rate, is she saying that the recruitment drive she is talking about is that to fill that 58%? Is she saying that there is a 58% shortage of staff, and is the recruitment drive she is talking about - which was at the end of January and is now in the final stages - to fill that? Okay. Perfect. As we know, there is a major...

Roderic O'Gorman: I thank the Deputy for her engagement on this issue, about which we have spoken a number of times, and her constituency colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, has also been in touch on the issue. In January 2023, through the online offers portal on gov.ie, my Department received a commercial offer of temporary accommodation for beneficiaries of temporary protection fleeing the...

Petrol and Diesel Excise Rate Increases: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (30 Apr 2024) See 42 other results from this debate

Rose Conway-Walsh: As the Minister of State, Deputy Richmond, knows, I come from a rural constituency in County Mayo. We do not have the transport options of those living in urban areas. How many times do we have to say that we are reliant on cars to get where we need to go? The nearest train station to me is an hour away. It is a six-hour round trip to University Hospital Galway, which many patients have...

Mattie McGrath: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCeann Comhairle. I did not think I would get in but I am delighted to speak on the Bill today. This is a difficult and trying issue on which we have around the Houses, with investigations over the decades. I have often said how sad it was that people were put into these homes. To hear the stories related today in the Chamber is also sad. I had a lovely...

Richard Boyd Barrett: We proposed an amendment to the Planning and Development Bill that would increase the amount of social and affordable housing we get from developments. Currently, as the Taoiseach is aware, we get 10%, or more recently, we may get 10% affordable housing. That means 80% of what is being built is unaffordable. We proposed, like other places such as Austria, that we would increase it to 50%...

Paul Murphy: There is a serious issue with accountability regarding deaths related to the Garda. A reply to a previous parliamentary question stated that between 2007 and 2021 there were 228 fatal incidents either in or shortly after Garda custody. They were referred to GSOC. In 2005 Terrence Wheelock went out to buy a paintbrush. He was arrested by the Garda. He was brought to Store Street Garda...

Thomas Gould: Last Friday, the Residential Tenancies Board, RTB, revealed that 544 families and individuals received notices to quit in Cork city in the first three months of the year. Those are people who are facing eviction in the next few months. Can you imagine being one of those parents not knowing where you and your family are going to live in a few months' time? In a seven-week period, 15,000...

Thomas Pringle: I thank the Taoiseach for his answer. The one thing we can do is to target the algorithms the companies use. Putting age profiles and barriers on accounts is grand but the algorithms are the problem and they are what we should be targeting. If we were serious about protecting young people, that is what we would be doing. In his response, the Taoiseach mentioned the ban against harmful...

Neale Richmond: I will restate a few points. I acknowledge that the reports were made by a UN committee. The Government also has a position. We cannot always take everything as read. On the process and the vote the Deputy mentioned, I will provide exact clarity. It is important to recall that Ireland signed up to the OECD two-pillar solution in October 2021. We intend to follow through on our...
