Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Feb 2022)

Mark Ward: This is largely a technical Bill to give effect to the Government's decision to transfer a function from the Department of Health to the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth in regard to the provision of specialist, community-based disability services. I hope it not just window dressing. The Government's focus should be on improving disability services and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Funding (10 Feb 2022)

Mark Ward: I do not wish to appear ignorant, but that appears to be a copy and paste of the answer I got last year. The sum of €500,000 was to build the facility, not for the day-to-day running costs. As the Minister will be aware, Covid has impacted on the ability of many clubs and organisations around the country to access funding streams. This club provides stables for 20 youths in the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Funding (10 Feb 2022)

Mark Ward: I spoke numerous times, most recently last week, to the local authority on the issue. Unfortunately, because of the nature of the club, it is not able to apply for many of the community funding streams through the local authority. The sum of €56,000 would fund the two staff members for a year and it would keep 20 horses in stables. That amount would allow the club to continue to...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Funding (10 Feb 2022)

Last year, I asked the Department to provide a multi-annual funding stream for the club. This year, I am asking the Minister to provide any information he has on funding streams or supports within the Department for which the club can apply, including for...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Land Issues (8 Feb 2022)

Mark Ward: I thank the Minister for taking the time to address this matter. A state-of-the-art primary healthcare centre is badly needed in north Clondalkin.

Dignity and Equality Issues in the Defence Forces: Motion (8 Feb 2022)

Mark Ward: First, I thank my colleague, Deputy Clarke, not only for bringing this motion before the Dáil but also for the tireless work she has done on this issue.

They have had to wade and fight their way through bureaucratic and cultural systems that are designed to keep them quiet and not to challenge the...
