Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Road Projects (4 Mar 2025)

David Cullinane: I agree with the Minister on the transformative nature of the north quays project, which we all want to see progressed as quickly as possible. I will raise the issue of upgrading the N24, which is the Waterford to Limerick road. I spoke to the Minister privately on this a number of weeks ago. I know he received a letter from the three CEOs of the local authorities in Carlow-Kilkenny,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Road Projects (4 Mar 2025)

David Cullinane: This is important from a road safety perspective. Approximately 60% of the improvements that will be carried out are improvements to the existing road network.

David Cullinane: The problem is that I have been told that on at least three occasions. I know the report was with the previous Minister for Health for most of last year. Deputy Carroll MacNeill is a new Minister coming in but there is continuity in that this report has been sitting on the Department's desk.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Services (6 Mar 2025)

David Cullinane: Both the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste previously said several times in this House that, in principle, they support 24-7 cardiac services for the south east. In fact, the current Taoiseach stood behind a banner essentially saying that his party would deliver the 24-7 cardiac service. I know that is going to require additional resources and additional consultants but we need a policy...
