An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2024)

Paul Murphy: You can. It is a "Don't ask, don't tell" policy.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2024)

Paschal Donohoe: I have no doubt at all that upon their return from their efforts on behalf of the people who are subject to such violence, the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste will be in a position to give an update to the House. Through our words and actions, we have shown our view on this issue. We have and will continue to take whatever actions we can or make the statements that are needed to try to...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Is that agreed?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: It is not agreed. I reiterate the concerns raised by Deputy Paul Murphy earlier today in respect of the carpet-bombing of Lebanon, the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the brutality and violence instigated by Israel in the West Bank. We need a statement from the Taoiseach and also from the Tánaiste. We need an opportunity for questions and answers in respect of weapons of war passing...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I thank the Deputy. We are out of time.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: -----we need both the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste who, whether wittingly or otherwise, gave wrong information to the Dáil on this matter. This Dáil was misled. We will take it that it was unwittingly so but nonetheless it happened and that has to be corrected also.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2024)

Ivana Bacik: The Taoiseach has said in recent days that homelessness is heavily impacted by the fact that many people are seeking asylum and protection here. This is wrong and I want to express my concern about the language. What is impacting most heavily on homelessness is Government policy and the Government's failure to provide enough homes for people. That needs to be acknowledged by Government...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2024)

Gary Gannon: For over 12 months now, we have watched on with horror as depravity was rained down upon the population of Gaza by the state of Israel. Throughout that time, many across the Opposition, including ourselves in the Social Democrats, have asked for action and consequence. We have been met solely with words. Now, not only are we finding out that all the Government has offered is words but...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: One of the oldest tricks in the book of a cynical government under pressure is the tactic of divide and conquer, and scapegoating innocent people for that government's own failing. That is what we heard from the Taoiseach, Simon Harris, over the weekend, when he essentially hung a target on the backs of asylum seekers, people exiting direct provision and immigrants generally by suggesting-----

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: The terminology the Deputy is using is not in order, please.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Peter Fitzpatrick: I thank the Minister for his response. In fairness, a lot of the things he mentioned are very good. However, in my situation, and I am sure it is the same for nearly every TD in the Chamber, many people come into constituency offices with the problem of having loved ones stuck in hospitals and nursing homes, and they have nobody to look after them. Nobody wants to be stuck in a hospital...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Paschal Donohoe: I meet the same people as Deputy Fitzpatrick does. They do such great work keeping family members out of nursing homes and hospitals, keeping them at home and giving them love and support. I also see the cost and impact it has on them as they provide that support. It is because of that we have made the changes I outlined to the Deputy, which he has been gracious enough to recognise in his...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I call Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick on behalf of the Regional Group.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Peter Fitzpatrick: It is time for us to recognise the profound impact the carer’s means test has on the lives of carers and those for whom they care, and to advocate for its abolition. The means test undermines the principle of fairness and social justice that should underpin our welfare system. This test assesses not just the needs of the person being cared for but also the income and assets of carers...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Paschal Donohoe: I thank the Deputy for raising this important matter. We all know that those who provide care to loved ones within the community make an invaluable contribution in supporting those who need help. By doing that, they complement the work of the State and alleviate pressure on our hospitals and nursing homes. Without the work of our carers, the pressures they face would be even bigger. In...
