Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (8 Nov 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: I wish to raise vacancy, which is probably the biggest sin of this Government in respect of the housing crisis.

That speaks to the enormous level of waste, bureaucracy and red tape that exists in...

Home Care Workers and Home Support Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (8 Nov 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: Last year, the HSE confirmed to me in response to a parliamentary question that 600 people were in hospitals across the State who had been clinically discharged.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Commissions of Investigation (7 Nov 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: There is a trend in how this Government deals with scandals that are made known by campaigning groups. The Government usually says sorry here in the Dáil in measured, grave tones. It promises it will never happen again and that an investigation or tribunal into the scandal will be held.
