Implications of Brexit for Irish Ports: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (11 Jul 2018)

Dara Calleary: I thank Deputy Troy for co-ordinating this debate on the impact of the TEN-T decisions taken some years ago by the Taoiseach, Deputy Varadkar. It represented a ministerial smash and grab on the economic future of the west of Ireland in particular. We are now two years into the Brexit process and not only does the UK Government not have a plan but neither does the Minister or the Department...

Leaders' Questions (12 Jul 2018)

Leaders' Questions (12 Jul 2018)

Dara Calleary: The Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government promised last year that there would not be any emergency accommodation. It is still happening. The same is going to happen with student housing. The Tánaiste is promising everything but in September and October, students and their families will be faced with a bill every month of €1,400 or €1,500. The Residential...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Sep 2018)

Dara Calleary: This morning, the country took a bit of a battering. We think of all of those who are out working - gardaí, local authority staff and service workers. As a House, we also send our sympathies to the family of the lady who was killed this morning in a storm-related incident. We wish safety to everyone else. Among those responding to this weather challenge are members of the Defence...

Dara Calleary: I thank the Minister. She stated the Government "values each and every member". Platitudes do not put food on the table. The pay structure of the Defence Forces is unique, in that allowances are a key part, but these have not been restored. Our Defence Forces do not get overtime. Defence Forces personnel on duty for the papal visit were given a paltry amount compared with others who did...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (19 Sep 2018)

Dara Calleary: I commenced Leaders' Questions this morning by expressing our good wishes to those involved in the response to Storm Ali. However, conditions seem to be worsening and the level of preparedness does not seem to be as effective as it was in the case of similar storms in the past. The Minister's Department has just announced that 11 of its offices have closed, while a considerable number of...

[37958/18]

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Sep 2018)

Dara Calleary: I wish to raise the issue of spinal muscular atrophy, SMA. In doing so I welcome the fact that we have just had a meeting hosted by Deputy Lisa Chambers with families from across the country who are affected by this condition. We heard fantastic testimony from Grace and Cillian, who are children with this condition. SMA is a group of inherited diseases of the motor nerves that cause very...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (20 Sep 2018)

Dara Calleary: The issue was raised with the Taoiseach by Deputies Lisa Chambers and John Curran on Tuesday. Deputy Lisa Chambers just hosted a meeting to which every Member of the House was invited, and there are several hundred people outside the front gate of Leinster House, so the matter should be on the Tánaiste's radar. I do not have to give him notice of questions I ask. He says he wants the...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (20 Sep 2018)

Dara Calleary: On Tuesday we had the launch of the report on the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland with the usual razzmatazz that this Government does for every launch. It is a very detailed report and I thank Kathleen O'Toole and her team for the work they have done. A specific recommendation of the report relates to the formation of a strategic threat analysis centre that would respond...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Sep 2018)

Dara Calleary: In November six years ago a referendum was put to the people about children. We were told it was historic and that its aim was to establish a child-centred approach to protecting all children. Another aim was to support families who were struggling rather than allow crisis situations to develop. Part of Article 42A inserted in the Constitution recognises that all children have rights and...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Sep 2018)

Dara Calleary: Does the Taoiseach get it? Does he get what it is like for parents and children who are waiting on those lists? The Taoiseach spoke about standard operating procedures and new rules for the disabilities assessment. Does he actually get what it is like to be on a waiting on a list for over a year, 7,000 of them for an initial occupational therapy, OT, assessment? Does he get what it is...
