Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Global Humanitarian Response: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (14 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: If my maths are correct, OCHA is looking for a little over 50 cents per person for what would be delivered in aid.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Global Humanitarian Response: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (14 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: But less than $1.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Global Humanitarian Response: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (14 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: Okay.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Global Humanitarian Response: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (14 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: As for OCHA securing that funding back, does it bill the party that caused the humanitarian crisis? Israel is a wealthy country, it is putting a burden on the international community and it is preventing funds from going to other humanitarian crises. Is there a mechanism by which OCHA, through other UN agencies, seeks the funding back from the party that caused the damage that necessitated...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Global Humanitarian Response: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (14 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: I know OCHA's mandate is based on a UN resolution of 1991, which was in response to the crisis after the Gulf War. Does OCHA see a need to have that mandate renewed and amended with additional frameworks, considering the more modern challenges it is facing?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Global Humanitarian Response: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (14 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: What is the office's recourse when it identifies humanitarian need and a state such as Israel prevents it from carrying out the response that is required?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Global Humanitarian Response: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (14 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: Mr. Rajasingham mentioned the deteriorating situation on the West Bank and the additional challenges that is presenting to OCHA. Could Mr. Rajasingham elaborate on that? Could he further comment on reports that the Israel Defense Force is arming and providing support to what has been described as settler terrorism in attacks on habitations and smaller municipal districts that would...

Written Answers — Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment: Departmental Meetings (14 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: 171. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment further to Parliamentary Question No. 244 of 20 September 2023, if there have been any further engagements by his Department or associated State agencies with the owners or management of a factory in Carrickmacross (details supplied); when it is now expected that the factory will move to trial production stage as referenced in the...

Written Answers — Department of Health: Dental Services (14 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: 488. To ask the Minister for Health if he will confirm the professional independence of clinical dental technicians; if he accepts that they are a growing cohort of practitioners across the country, in line with the Government's expressed wish in Smile agus Sláinte for an increase in the scope and number of CDTs; if he will acknowledge that they are fulfilling a significant and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Global Humanitarian Response: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (14 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: Mr. Rajasingham referenced engagements his organisation has in diplomatic efforts and negotiations to secure humanitarian access. Has OCHA been involved in such negotiations as they pertain to Gaza at present?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Services (9 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: I would like it if the Minister, in any of his responses, actually answered the question put. We are virtually in the middle of November and it is impossible to provide new developments at Monaghan hospital without a budget allocated. We do not have one. I take it from his response that no additional funding has been allocated to the hospital at this stage. A computed tomography, CT,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Services (9 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: 10. To ask the Minister for Health the level of additional core expenditure for new developments, excluding funding for carryover and otherwise maintaining existing levels of service, which has been allocated to Monaghan Hospital for 2024; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48991/23]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Services (9 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: My question for the Minister is if he will outline the level of additional core funding that will be provided for new developments at Monaghan Hospital in 2024 outside of carry-over and otherwise maintenance of the existing level of services.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Services (9 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: Forgive my naivety but I thought the Minister might actually answer the question that was submitted and put to him. I accept there has been increased investment in Monaghan Hospital. It took an awful lot of pressure in order to get it, and it came from a very low base because of the disastrous decisions of previous Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael Governments to remove services. The...

Written Answers — Department of Health: Hospital Equipment (9 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: 22. To ask the Minister for Health if funding will be provided to deliver a MRI scanner to Monaghan Hospital. [48992/23]

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (8 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: When we were here this day last week the Taoiseach commented that more than 5,000 people were reported to have been killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza. That figure now stands at well over 10,000. We should all stop and think about those numbers for a moment. More people have been killed in Gaza in a single week than during the entire conflict in the North of Ireland. Substantially more, in...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Environmental Investigations (7 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: I join in that appeal. We are and have been members of the Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine and we get dozens of items of correspondence every week and month from people telling us there have been all sorts of injustices and that they were treated badly or whatever. Virtually none of those cases makes it to the floor of the Dáil; the reason this case has is that people...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Environmental Investigations (7 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: I am sure the Ceann Comhairle will agree that it is not every day a Topical Issue is submitted by people from three different political parties. Three out of the four of us do not come from the constituency of Dan Brennan but I know we have the support of all Members of the Oireachtas from Carlow-Kilkenny, including my colleague Deputy Funchion. Anybody who has heard Dan Brennan give...
