Brian Stanley: Unfortunately.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2023)

Brian Stanley: The question is whether we want to deal with the Department of Health and HSE regarding ventilators, waiting lists and the NTPF on 4 May. Is that the next most important issue?

Eviction Ban: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2023)

They have been given no answers and no solutions by this Government as to what they should do or where they should go....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Schools Building Projects (22 Mar 2023)

Brian Stanley: I concur with what Deputy Flanagan has said. The school is in dire need of a new building. No words of mine can overstate this. I have visited the school several times, as have several Ministers. The children of the school need support at a high level. It is a special needs school and almost 40 children attend, with the number increasing each year. The conditions in the school are...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Schools Building Projects (22 Mar 2023)

Brian Stanley: I thank the Minister of State for her reply. I know she has a commitment to special needs from her time as a member of the Committee of Public Accounts along with me. It is an issue she cares about. However, no words can explain the level of need of the children in Kolbe Special School. They are children of high dependency. A huge amount of equipment is needed. This is no ordinary...

Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)

Brian Stanley: Deputy Devlin is online. If he uses his raise hand signal, I can let him in. I will ask about the cost of new jobs from Enterprise Ireland's point of view. In 2021, there were 7,400 new jobs and a net gain of 2,999. When it is counted as the net gain, the cost per job, I notice, has tumbled down to just over €3,000 per job from I think around €12,000. Is Enterprise...
