Mental Health Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 Sep 2024) See 3 other results from this debate

Violet-Anne Wynne: I pay tribute to Councillor PJ Kelly. Everyone would say he had a mighty way with words. From every political determination, that is something they could at least agree on. I will never forget his words that you may put a gate at Lissycasey because there is nothing else past that in terms of funding and resources from Government. For that, he will always be remembered. I express my...

Defamation (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (19 Sep 2024) See 4 other results from this debate

Catherine Connolly: I appreciate the time to speak on this Bill. I wish I had more time. The Dáil is just back in session and this is very serious legislation, as is the next Bill we will consider, the Mental Health Bill 2024. The Defamation (Amendment) Bill involves a lot of reading. I have a lot of people to thank for their help. Once again, under pressure, the library and research service has...

Darragh O'Brien: ...particular issues in Cork city and beyond. I am meeting the chief executive and the incoming chairperson of Uisce Éireann. I will seek additional funding for Uisce Éireann on the capital side to carry out additional works. The Deputy referred to Cork city. That is a big piece of work. Another scheme that we discussed is the Carrignavar scheme. There are others where I would...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (19 Sep 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: The Deputy has raised a very important point with regard to accountability and value for money. Thankfully, the State, due to the hard work of the 2.75 million people in employment, is running a budget surplus. We continue to do that. We are investing in significant infrastructural projects and will continue to move forward projects such as metro north, as the Deputy mentioned, which is...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Sep 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Ivana Bacik: Mine is a simple question today. How can the Minister say his Housing for All policy is working when over 4,000 children are homeless? Everyone deserves the dignity of a roof over their head, and the basic responsibility of the State to provide shelter and homes is even more pressing when it comes to children and young people. On the formation of the First Dáil, the first document...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Economic Policy (19 Sep 2024) See 2 other results from this debate

Louise O'Reilly: The Minister hit the nail on the head. That is the point I was making. We want people to be able to stay there. The vast majority of people in Balbriggan who are of working age and employed leave. They leave in the morning to go to work. They are not employed locally. There is an issue with underemployment that the Minister will be aware of. Even the report refers to towns like...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Marine Protected Areas (19 Sep 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I want to ask the Minister of State about the marine protected areas legislation. It is key unfinished work that we have in front of us as a Government. I would like to see it completed, not just from the point of view of the environmental NGOs, which are looking for progress on this, as is anybody with an interest in the marine, but, also, as we are developing our offshore wind, it is...

The report showed that vacancy rates had decreased in 19 counties. The database published worrying figures for commercial vacancy.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defective Building Materials (19 Sep 2024)

Thomas Pringle: Will it also apply to people who have completed works as part of the scheme, who did it in good faith and worked under the old scheme while this new scheme has been implemented and enacted? They are now left, having spent money they cannot access. As well as that, it is vitally important because the new scheme has seen inflation of more than 20% in construction figures and they need to...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Fire Safety (19 Sep 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Like the Minister, I meet many of the affected homeowners and tenants in these properties. They have been enormously frustrated by the significant delays which would have been entirely avoidable had the Minister and his officials taken on board the detailed advice from Dublin Fire Brigade and others last year and early this year, rather than leaving it to the last minute in June, July and...

Gary Gannon: I reiterate that hugely beneficial work has been undertaken by the task force and, in particular, under the Minister’s leadership, but I would like to see what the outcome of that will be. I would have liked to ask about the night-time licensing laws, which were promised as part of this reimagining of what our cultural entities could look like in the night time. However, I am not...

Roderic O'Gorman: The Department works with Pobal and local childcare committees to offer case management supports to services in difficulty. Through this process, services may also access sustainability funding following an assessment of need. One strand of this funding can support a service with the cost of relocation.

Childcare: Motion [Private Members] (18 Sep 2024) See 6 other results from this debate

Claire Kerrane: I was disappointed to see a good chunk of the Minister's amendment criticising the plan I launched last week. He does not have to like the plan, of course. I am not interested in that kind of politicking. I do not do it. I do not believe that the parents are interested in it either. The Minister sees our plan as having no vision. Our plan has a vision and is the actual way to get to...

Mental Health Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Sep 2024) See 4 other results from this debate

Richard O'Donoghue: How can we help people who suffer from mental health problems? Like everything else, we have to start at the start with early intervention. The biggest problem we have with early intervention is that services for early intervention are not available. Where they are available, people will wait for 18 months or two years. Some of the people who have come to us looking for help move into the...

Róisín Shortall: Thank you. I would ask that you give this further consideration ahead of Committee Stage. In respect of CAMHS, I would like to jump ahead to Part 6 of the Bill, the regulation of mental health services. I will return to other important provisions but, as the Minister of State will know, this is an issue I have been pursuing with her for some time. While I very much welcome the...

Neale Richmond: I thank all the Deputies who have spoken today from such a vast array of positions on this vital topic. The Apple case has been a high-profile, long-running case.

We have heard today from Deputies addressing the history of the case, the reasons behind taking the case, the...

Anne Rabbitte: ...anything other than a health need. That funding was got on the basis that it is not all about health needs. When I got that funding, the first piece of it started at about €2 million. A lot of work went in just to secure it. It was all about the awareness of the training piece because I felt a lot of that was missing. In the first round of that funding it was about giving it to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 Sep 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank colleagues for raising this first issue. I am conscious as we are sitting in this House and in the time since I have come into this House, there have been significant further developments and escalations in Lebanon with the explosions the Deputies have referred to of walkie-talkies. This follows on yesterday from the explosion of pager devices. This situation should be utterly...

I look forward to the report being debated in the House. We should...
