- Leaders' Questions (3 Dec 2015)

The Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy White, is on record as disagreeing about long distances from dwellings because he said it would wipe out onshore...
- Leaders' Questions (3 Dec 2015)

- Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Estimates for Public Services
Vote 40 - Department of Children and Youth Affairs (Supplementary) (3 Dec 2015) Robert Troy: I thank the Minister and his officials for appearing before the committee. No one would dare to argue with an increase in funding to Tusla as it is very much-needed. Members across the political divide would acknowledge that the agency has struggled to keep up with everything we would like to see it address. Last year alone, Mr. Gordon Jeyes, the CEO of Tusla, called for €18 million...

Vote 40 - Department of Children and Youth Affairs (Supplementary) (3 Dec 2015) Robert Troy: I concur with what the Minister has said and I am conscious that next week we have another opportunity at the quarterly meeting to go into the general scheme of things for next year. I acknowledge it is a new agency but many of the schemes run by the agency are not new. For example, the school completion programme, family resource centres, domestic services and the counselling services have...

- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Preschool Services (2 Dec 2015)
Robert Troy: The Minister has not confirmed whether 10,000 or 20,000 spaces are available. Perhaps he might do so. Even if the number is 20,000 which would be at the higher end of his expectations, he is talking about an additional 22,500 spaces in the free preschool year in 2016 and a further 13,000 under the community child care subvention scheme. That gives a total of 35,500 which represents a...

Robert Troy: Restoring capitation rates is not good enough. The previous Government invested €500 million in the previous decade to ensure there would be sufficient spaces available in the sector. Will the Minister introduce capital funding to ensure we will have sufficient capacity in the sector? It is a welcome announcement, but I do not think it has been well thought out. Parents will face...
