Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (20 Nov 2019)

Micheál Martin: He is meeting other leaders. What I am about to raise is important in terms of how the Government conducts itself and a strict adherence to the demarcation lines between officeholders and party political events. We raised this matter with the Government last April in respect of the utilisation of the national broadband plan for the local elections. Yesterday, what should have been a...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (20 Nov 2019)

Micheál Martin: The one Fianna Fáil Deputy who was there was not invited. The event took place at his former school and he found his way there. The Government organised a Fine Gael event. This is a serious occurrence which represents a blurring of office-holding and Government activity with party political campaigning.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Family Support Services (20 Nov 2019)

Micheál Martin: I welcome the children and teachers of Our Lady of Lourdes national school in Ballinlough who are in the Visitors Gallery. It is pure coincidence that I happen to be in Chamber at this time. It is appropriate that the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs is also here to welcome them. This important issue involves the Bessborough Centre, previously the Bessborough Mother and Baby...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Family Support Services (20 Nov 2019)

Micheál Martin: I accept that the Minister's Department specifically will not have the capital funding required to purchase the 40-acre site. The State has invested hugely in the area with capital investment over the years and ongoing current funding. If the land is sold to a private entity, to a developer, these services will break up. Huge work has gone into building up the family therapeutic service....

Micheál Martin: The crisis in our health service shows no sign of abating; rather, it is getting worse by the day. Patients and others in attendance experienced shocking conditions in the emergency department of University Hospital Limerick yesterday. It was compared to a cattle mart by the relatives of those present and without question, people were treated in shocking conditions over a 24-hour period....

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Nov 2019)

Micheál Martin: Children need early intervention in almost all cases to avert more serious illness downstream and to avoid conditions becoming progressively worse. The backdrop to this is the extraordinary number of children waiting so long for diagnostics, procedures or surgical interventions. The word "elective" does not convey the full story. When people say, "We are postponing elective...", it is...
