Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Dietician Service Provision (5 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: I welcome the news of the appointment of two new dieticians. Will the Minister confirm the timeline for these appointments? When will they take up their positions?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: It is interesting that Fine Gael Ministers have gone missing today. We have just finished a debate in which the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, discussed the need for fiscal stability in the context of wage agreements. Everyone agrees with that, but it is very difficult to take that lecture, given what is happening with the national children's hospital project. There was no worry...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: Is that credible? Is it credible that such information has been floating around at Secretary General level and was not passed on? What does it say to the Minister about relationships at the heart of the Government and those within the Department of Health? Until now we have heard the Fine Gael defence - a backstop defence, if you will - which has been repeated with absolute discipline. We...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Feb 2019)

The Ministers have replied to questions but do not answer them. We believe PwC is receiving €450,000 - it might be higher - to give us the answers, yet at last night's Fine Gael Parliamentary Party meeting the blame was laid squarely at the feet of...
