Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Nov 2022)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I apologise for being late again this week. I caught some of the meeting on the monitor upstairs and I met Ms Geraghty with the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, when she visited Cork. I do not know if that was earlier this year or last year but it seems like a long time ago. I was convinced that day when I met AADI of the positive impact that using animals such and dogs and horses can...

Pádraig O'Sullivan: Deputy McDonald touched on the planning Act review that the Government and the Attorney General are undertaking. I seek a progress report on this. Will the Taoiseach give us a timeline for when that legislation will be ready? There is a multitude of issues there that are very pertinent. The role of An Bord Pleanála needs to be examined thoroughly. The powers of the Office of the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Risk Management (15 Nov 2022)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: As the Minister of State will be aware, I have a question later on the schedule that is unlikely to be reached, but it is on the same subject.

It is important, particularly for the residents and businesses in Glanmire, that the Minister of State gives clarity and certainty....

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Sports Funding (17 Nov 2022)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: It is welcome to see that €6 million has been drawn down by those 33 projects, as the Minister of State has alluded to. The fundamental point here, though, is that regarding many of these larger organisations, and the Football Association of Ireland, FAI, comes to mind immediately, it is well documented that they are fairly cash-strapped now and are incapable of progressing many of...

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Sports Funding (17 Nov 2022)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: It is welcome that there is ongoing engagement with organisations like the FAI and that they are progressing some projects.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Nov 2022)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I again raise the issue of elective hospitals throughout the country, including in Dublin, Cork and Galway.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Planning Issues (17 Nov 2022)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Butler. She has given me much of the same information I have been given on previous occasions when I have raised this matter. I am not trying to undermine the OPR. In the overall argument, I know the OPR has a job to do. While I cannot speak for all of us, most of us here would have started as county councillors and city councillors. We know how...
