Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Jun 2017)

Brendan Howlin: Yesterday the Taoiseach told the House how a decision of the HSE was devoid of common sense and humanity. He also spoke about the commitment in the programme for Government to greatly expand home care packages. Since March of this year, I have been raising the case of a constituent, Mr. Jonathan Leech. Mr. Leech had a fall in October 2016 and the HSE has acknowledged that since then he has...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (28 Jun 2017)

Brendan Howlin: I have three brief questions. Where exactly stands Sláintecare? I have been trying to get a clear view from the Department of Health. Is the Sláintecare accepted by Government and has the process of implementation begun? Who is going to drive that implementation? Will it be the Taoiseach, through the cabinet sub-committee, or is there another implementation mechanism? My...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Staff (28 Jun 2017)

Brendan Howlin: I note from media reports that Dr. Patrick Geoghegan, a noted historian, has joined the Taoiseach's team. His influence is self-evident from all of the references to history in recent times, which is to be welcomed. I would like to get an idea of the Taoiseach's thinking.

That should have been an easy open concession....

Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2017)

Brendan Howlin: The national economic dialogue has been taking place yesterday and today, but in truth it is a farcical exercise. The dialogue is happening without any indication from Government of what the fiscal space for next year might be. We are asked to discuss expenditure without knowing how much there is to spend. As my colleague, Deputy Burton, noted last week, the summer economic statement - up...

Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2017)

Brendan Howlin: The programme for Government promised a new era of transparency in budgetary formation. It was the most important dialogue between Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael in the formation of Government. It meant we would have the participation of this House in budgetary formation.
