Antisocial Behaviour: Motion [Private Members] (18 Sep 2025)

Aidan Farrelly: I will pick up where Deputy Gannon has left off. For nearly 20 years, I was a professional youth worker and a hoodie was my uniform. I thought today would be a very important day to don that uniform again. In the same way that I have tried to defend and advocate on behalf of young people who are all too often on the receiving end of negative stereotyping and rhetoric, it feels right that I...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Sep 2025)

Aidan Farrelly: I am sure I am not the only one in the room who is quite concerned about what our attention has been drawn to. If it were not the case that the HSE was coming before us next month, I would probably be expediting my concerns. In the past, we wrote to that body in advance of its visits to let it know some of the issues that were going to arise in order to ensure that the relevant information...

That leads to a significant cost overrun, sometimes of 50% or 100%, of the initial budget that was put aside. That type of overrun will always have an...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Sep 2025)

Aidan Farrelly: There was a brief note added to the correspondence from the Minister. I ask that we write to the Department to see whether further forecasting has been done since that correspondence was sent and if a summary of the overall costs has been completed since the initial budget was allocated.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Sep 2025)

Aidan Farrelly: I have spoken enough about ICT projects over the course of this morning. I look forward to our future work on that. I know we have provisionally committed to inviting the Department of education in. With regard to procurement, I have growing concerns over the procurement processes involved in the school meals programme and the way it has been rolled out around the country. Is it possible...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Sep 2025)

Aidan Farrelly: I thank the Ceann Comhairle. We have record levels of child poverty and child and youth homelessness. We have really worrying waiting lists for children who require life-changing and life-saving medical procedures. We now also have 40,000 children on child waiting lists for creches and early years education. Despite the Social Democrats offering constructive proposals, we are seeing an...
