- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (15 Nov 2017)
Brendan Howlin: The question I am trying to pursue concerns the state of knowledge held by the Department of Justice and Equality.

Brendan Howlin: I welcome the discussions of Sláintecare, coming as they do after the absence of any resource allocation to the implementation of or any mention of Sláintecare in the budget. With regard to Cabinet discussions, I want to raise the provision of cardiac care across the country, in particular the provision of cardiac services in the south east.

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (15 Nov 2017)
Brendan Howlin: The Taoiseach said he wanted to embrace this. Obviously, we have to drill down and be granular. I understand the costings of health care reasonably well. However, we need to proceed on an all-party basis. Let us try and let us have momentum on this. From what the Taoiseach has said, it appears this will go the way of all other reports. We will have no overarching issue. I asked...

Brendan Howlin: There seems to have been no increase in the number of staff in the Department of the Taoiseach working on Brexit since September even though things have changed - probably for the worst - since then in light of the possibility of a hard Brexit. I asked yesterday what contingency planning is being done for that possible outcome. I would like the Taoiseach to answer that question. The...
