Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services Staff (24 Sep 2024)

Joe Flaherty: I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate her undertaking on that. What is most disappointing is that the Department or agency has not come back with any indication or commitment on whether the children attending the service at St. Joseph's can now access the same service in Mullingar or Roscommon, which at most will be 20 or 30 miles away. It is also extremely troubling that while a...

Joe Flaherty: I thank all the groups for coming in to us. Probably a year on, it is disappointing that we have not seen any change in the situation.

Joe Flaherty: We have an irony here in that the Department of agriculture has given €600,000 in Brexit funding to Horse Sport Ireland to administer and process passports and, at the same time, it is writing out to sales venues and telling them they cannot process the sale of foals unless they have a passport. The market is breaking down. We already see a fallback in the sales and value of young...

Does Mr. Corrigan have any idea why there was a breakdown at the Olympics?
