Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Nursing Homes (13 Jun 2024)

Gino Kenny: I thank the Minister of State. Those who work in the home and the residents and their relatives are very concerned about its future. There has been ongoing awareness and protests with a view to keeping the facility open. I have a number of questions. Will the HSE consider taking over the facility on a full-time basis? If not, would other providers be interested in taking it over? The...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Nursing Homes (13 Jun 2024)

Mary Butler: The designated centre is a residential care setting operated by Passage Healthcare International (Ireland) Limited. Passage Healthcare has been in examinership but my understanding is that the receiver has removed the protection of examinership and that a liquidator will be appointed. As the Deputy knows, Passage Healthcare also operated Sally Park Nursing Home in Firhouse. Sally Park was...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Nursing Homes (13 Jun 2024)

Gino Kenny: That is relatively good news. If there is a scenario where none of the care providers is in a position to take over, it would be a disaster if facility had to close because it would mean the 50 residents would have to seek other accommodation. There is also the situation of the staff. People are very happy there but they are very worried about the long-term future of the nursing home. It...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Nursing Homes (13 Jun 2024)

Mary Butler: I do not disagree with the Deputy regarding the imbalance that exists. The situation at Lucan Lodge was compounded because the owners of the property are resident in America. An Irish provider that was registered with HIQA was providing the service. Any takeover would be complicated, especially when we are talking about receivership and examinership. I met again with my officials...

Vote 23 - An Coimisiún Toghcháin (Revised)
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Revised) (13 Jun 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: Since we came into government, it has increased significantly. Total provisions for 2024, between capital and current, were €54.4 million. On the capital side, the investment has gone into the infrastructure in the parks, such as trails, access, interpretation and improvement of visitor facilities, but also in terms of management of invasive species - rodent management is a big one,...

Vote 16 - Tailte Éireann (Revised)
Vote 23 - An Coimisiún Toghcháin (Revised)
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Revised) (13 Jun 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: Absolutely. I think so and the Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, may wish to comment as well. We have the local biodiversity action fund, which we have quadrupled over the past three years. That has been transformative as well as having ensured that with the Heritage Council we have a biodiversity officer in every county to support that work. When we embark on a national nature...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Michael Healy-Rae: On a point of order, at this point coming onto midnight, we are leaving 585 amendments behind us. It is disgraceful at this time, although not the Ceann Comhairle's fault, for the Government to be guillotining this important Bill before the House. It is wrong and unfair on the people of Ireland.
