- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Northern Ireland (18 Apr 2023)
Éamon Ó Cuív: As the Minister knows, I have been concerned for some time about the delay in the administration of justice in Northern Ireland. People are waiting up to nine years for trial. They are our citizens. I think the Minister would agree that is not justice and that justice delayed is justice denied. As well as that, there are people spending inordinate time on remand and, when they are out on...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Projects (19 Apr 2023)
Éamon Ó Cuív: The reply is very weak. The reality is they have been working on this for ten years. Prior to approving the Bun an Choill section, the original plan was to do the whole road. There were a lot of discussions, and ongoing discussions. I was over in the Department myself in the intervening years regarding method statements. It is not yesterday or today that this issue arose. The second...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Healthcare Infrastructure Provision (20 Apr 2023)

They are trying to move site but it is going on forever. More than two years ago, the Minister might remember the need for the ambulance base in Connemara. We got the ambulance and we got the staff within four months. They...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Healthcare Infrastructure Provision (20 Apr 2023)

One thing adding to the crisis is the phenomenal delays still in getting decisions from An Bord Pleanála. I have cases that have been with the board for over a year and a half. These are all projects which, if approved, could go ahead. I...

The Minister of State raised a number of valid issues. On the other hand, we must be cautious because the system will always state the problems but not the...
