Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Transport Policy (14 Jun 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome some of the improvements that are taking place, albeit belatedly. The Minister of State will know that Galway is going under with traffic. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the country which is thriving in terms of employment but it is absolutely bogged down in traffic. The Minister of State knows that if I showed her a photograph of all the reports from my 17 years on...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Transport Policy (14 Jun 2022)

Catherine Connolly: There is no sense of urgency with the NTA. Absolutely none. It is 2022 and it is slowly looking at park and ride on one side of the city when in 2005 the elected members voted to roll out park and ride. A climate emergency was declared years ago now and then there is biodiversity yet we are still looking at unsustainable levels of traffic in Galway and no bold measures. I have absolutely...

Ábhair Shaincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Matters (15 Jun 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor - to discuss reducing waiting times for early intervention services in speech and language therapy; (2) Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice - to discuss plans to deal with flooding of Lough Fuinshinagh in...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (15 Jun 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Baineann mo cheist le barda Naomh Monica in Ospidéal na hOllscoile, Gaillimh. Tá sé dúnta anois le beagnach trí mhí agus gan focal ón ospidéal maidir le cén fáth go raibh sé dúnta, nó fiú go raibh sé dúnta. Bhí orm an cheist a ardú sa Dáil coicís ó shin. Tá mé fós ag...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (15 Jun 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister of State. How many beds have reopened? How many beds are in St. Monica's ward? Have they told the Minister of State that?

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (15 Jun 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I think it is 17 or 19 but I am not sure. They have given the Minister of State an answer simply because I raised it in the Dáil, like other Deputies do. I have received no reply from the Minister. I know he is busy and I know exactly how busy the Minister of State is. I pay tribute to her work all the time but this is the most serious situation. This is spin upon spin. If the ward...

Energy Security: Motion [Private Members] (15 Jun 2022)

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht – Questions on Policy or Legislation (15 Jun 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I am glad the Minister is taking this question, because it concerns an area where we know the cost but not the value. I refer to home care hours. This is a crisis all over the country, but I am going to focus on Galway. The battle there is a twin crisis. The first aspect is to get enough hours allocated. When hours are allocated, however, there are no home carers. The Minister may not...

Catherine Connolly: Deputy McAuliffe will have to stay with me a second.

Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)

Catherine Connolly: There is no point in repeating it. I heard what Deputy McAuliffe said. He talked about something that happened when I was not in the Chair, which the Ceann Comhairle dealt with or did not deal with. I do not know. He was in the Chair and I presume he dealt with it. The time to deal with it was at that point, when it happened. At this point, we are under time pressure, which is...
