Imelda Munster: There is an extra six months. It has been reported that a Spanish investor has an 80% stake in NBI. The State is entitled to 25% of any gain in excess of 25% of the value of the business at the time of a sale. Is that expected to come into play? How much this the State stand to gain?

Imelda Munster: I am glad the Minister for Justice is here. I will raise the sense of abandonment my constituents in Meath East feel with regard to Garda resources. As the Minister will know, there is a Garda station there that is not fit for purpose and which is only manned from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. despite the fact that there is a population of more than 32,000 in the area. The Garda Commissioner's office...

Housing for All Update: Statements (4 Oct 2022)

Imelda Munster: I could say that I do not think the Minister and his Government have any idea of the real stress that their housing policy is causing people but, at this stage, I believe they really could not care less. People are languishing on housing lists for up to 12 years. There are people who are unable to afford asking prices for rent. They cannot afford a place to live. People in receipt of HAP...

Imelda Munster: This is about the fifth time I have raised this issue. There are tens of thousands of medical card holders across the State who cannot access a dentist for almost two years now. Just think about that - almost two years without access to a dentist. What other western country, or government for that matter, would allow something like that to continue? There are people with serious...

Imelda Munster: According to research published by the Federation of Irish Sport, for every €100 invested in sport by the Government, the Exchequer receives up to €195 back through taxes on sports-supported expenditure and incomes. We also know that half of the money invested by the State in the arts later comes back to the Exchequer. This proposal is based on the Icelandic experience of a...

Imelda Munster: This leisure card could be used for sport, dance, music, art or some other enriching pursuit. The voucher would be used via a designated website that lists providers who are trained and approved for youth development.
