Special Education School Places: Motion [Private Members] (17 Sep 2025)

Pa Daly: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for the time to raise this important issue. The Equality in Education group has said that 168 children have been offered an appropriate school place but cannot take it up due to delays in essential building works. We believe there is a certain amount of waiting list manipulation going on. A place in an unbuilt school is not a place. A place in a cubby...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Energy Prices (18 Sep 2025)

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Energy Prices (18 Sep 2025)

Pa Daly: The Government could not have had a more targeted measure than the energy credits that we have had for the last number of years and people are facing the same if not higher energy prices now.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Data Centres (18 Sep 2025)

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Data Centres (18 Sep 2025)

Pa Daly: Why then is the Secretary General of the Department saying what is being said and that housing is being threatened by the larger users of electricity?
