Dentistry Services: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (22 May 2024) See 11 other results from this debate

Róisín Shortall: I thank everybody who contributed to the debate. I had hoped that the Minister would come in today and outline a clear plan to reform of public dentistry. However, all we got was talk. The scripts that were read out by the two Ministers of State were an absolute disgrace. The Ministers of State are either delusional or blatantly disingenuous. They displayed a complete disconnect from...

Colm Burke: I am taking this Topical Issue on behalf of the Minister for Education. The Minister asked me to thank the Deputy for raising this matter as it provides the Department with an opportunity to clarify the position regarding the development of Fermoy Educate Together National School and, more specifically, the school's request for further accommodation. The Deputy may be aware that Fermoy...

James O'Connor: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. However, the reply given in the House this morning makes no reference to the location affected. Considering that the location is in the title of the question asked, that is not acceptable. I ask the Minister of State to bring that back to the Department of Health. When a Deputy comes in here from a constituency and asks a question about an...

Darren O'Rourke: I thank the Minister of State for his reply but I have to say, while it is useful information, it does not address the issue I am raising here today. My sense of things is reflected anecdotally and I can give some examples in my own area. A lady contacted my office who moved into a new one-bedroom unit in December. Her first energy bill for six weeks in the house was €615. That is...

Colm Burke: I fully understand the frustration the Deputy feels on this matter but it is important to acknowledge – this is not from a script - that there are more than 1,500 projects being dealt with by the Department. While the interim works on the Scoil Phádraig building will serve as a first phase for the Holy Trinity National School project, the progression of the project for the...

Colm Burke: I am dealing with this matter on behalf of the Minister for Health. I thank the Deputy for raising the matter of funding for East Galway and Midlands Cancer Support, which is based in Ballinasloe, County Galway. The need to address survivorship care for those living with and beyond cancer is now recognised internationally. Groups such as East Galway and Midlands Cancer Support emphasise...

Alan Kelly: The Minister of State is a good person but that response, by and large, is a standard reply. I contacted his officials, as he will be aware, this evening to let him know that I would read into the record this agreement from November 2019. I cannot state this any clearer. If the Department, which, granted this, in 2019, was the then Department of Justice and Equality, cannot honour the...

Malcolm Noonan: We will take on board those last few points. Regarding the date of 29 June, the Deputy will be aware that the review can take place. The Minister has consistently acted with empathy on this issue. He has shown that empathy in his engagement with affected families. The reconstitution of the working group is one part of it. There is also a subgroup, which met from January to April 2024...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Wind Energy Guidelines (21 May 2024) See 5 other results from this debate

Malcolm Noonan: On community engagement, supplementary to the wind energy guidelines, there is a code of practice for wind energy development in Ireland and guidelines for community engagement. I am of the view that under the Aarhus Convention and public participation directive that engagement should take place at an early stage of any process or development of onshore or offshore. That is important. On...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Inflation Rate (21 May 2024) See 12 other results from this debate

Alan Farrell: I acknowledge all of those measures, particularly the temporary measures. I acknowledge of course the nature of them and their careful impact on the inflation rate. However, part of the reason I asked this question was to do with what I would refer to as ongoing creep, particularly in the inflation on consumer goods, services and fuel, which remains stubbornly high. We are 15 cent or 20...

Pádraig O'Sullivan: As the Minister rightly said, there is probably a lag in the data as well insofar as there are 12 months, and interest rates and such are coming down. As the Minister rightly highlighted, businesses have proven to be resilient in that 82% of them said they had no change or had increased their turnover while 88% were either in profit or had broken even. "Resilience" is the right word to...
