CJEU Judgment in Apple State Aid Case: Statements (18 Sep 2024)

Paul Donnelly: The first instinct of this Government is to back big corporations. The first instinct was to waste taxpayers' money. Millions of euro in legal fees were paid, just like the €320,000 spent on a bike shed. This is no surprise because Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have always had the backs of big corporations. At the same time they were spending millions to defend this disgraceful...

Mental Health Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Sep 2024)

Paul Donnelly: I welcome the Bill. There are many aspects of it we welcome. It is a step in the right direction and many mental health stakeholders are supportive and agree on many of the issues related to it, but unfortunately, due to delays, I do not believe it will be introduced within the lifetime of this Government. That is unfortunate. Mental health is a huge problem in all our communities. I...

That is a six-year waiting list. That is absolutely and utterly shocking and...

Disability and Special Needs Provision: Motion [Private Members] (19 Sep 2024)

Paul Donnelly: It is a failure of everyone who has been involved in this service through the years if a simple thing like getting children who need a school place into schools cannot be done. We are paying people extremely good wages to do their job. They should be doing it. It is incredible that we have to set up a task force to do that. Let us give them the time and energy, however. They do not have...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2024)

Paul Donnelly: I raise the issue of the single school enrolment plan and the taskforce for Dublin 15. Eleven children are currently without a school place in Dublin 15 and parent advocacy groups I met yesterday have identified that more than 30 students will require a school placement in 2025.
