Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Dental Services Provision (13 Mar 2019)

Dara Calleary: We have been inundated with representations from constituents, particularly parents of teenagers, who are being made to wait inordinate amounts of time for basic assessments for orthodontic services.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (13 Mar 2019)

Dara Calleary: The independent evaluator already assessed this project in 2012 and gave it 100% certification. The project has not changed. The regulator reassessed it and then reduced 100% certification to 18%. We must be able to get answers in that regard. I accept the regulator's independence. The Minister used the word, "misunderstanding." There is a lot of misunderstanding in a reduction from...

Business Insurance: Motion [Private Members] (13 Mar 2019)

Dara Calleary: I commend Deputy Michael McGrath on all his work on this issue. One of the difficulties of the Minister of State's position is that he is not attached to the Department of Justice and Equality. We need a Minister of real presence in that Department to deal with insurance reform, move on with the Judicial Council Bill and make sure that the relevant Garda unit is established. In the past...

Beef Sector: Motion (27 Mar 2019)

Dara Calleary: I hope the Government's acceptance of this motion this evening is not a political response aimed at deflecting criticism and giving the Minister cover as he proceeds. The motion tabled by Deputy McConalogue contains 14 proposals that the Government is now signing up to but what we have not seen so far is any sense of urgency or even a belief that there is a crisis here. The Minister of...
