Dara Calleary: I gather the Taoiseach is in Los Angeles today. I hope he takes time to note that rents in Los Angeles are cheaper on average than rents in Dublin. Average rents in Dublin today are €1,713 a month, which is an increase on this time last year.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: I refer to the integrity of the overall pay policy. The figures given to Deputy Chambers show a €24 million underspend in salaries in the Defence Forces to date in 2019.

Special Needs Education Places: Motion [Private Members] (25 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: I thank my colleagues, Deputies Thomas Byrne, O'Loughlin and Murphy O'Mahony for their work on this issue. I mean no personal offence to the Minister of State, Deputy Stanton, but the Department of Education and Skills has a Minister and two Ministers of State and it is not acceptable they cannot be present for the debate. When Deputy Curran was Chief Whip, a Minister from the relevant...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (19 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: There was much discussion in the context of the local elections about restoring power to local authorities. The housing crisis is continuing, and giving more discretion to local authorities in how they manage their projects would assist in solving that crisis.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: Yesterday morning's news of an attack on Mr. Kevin Lunney should stop all of us in our tracks. We read in this morning's newspapers the details of the attack and the injuries suffered by Mr. Lunney, and they are absolutely appalling.

Dara Calleary: I welcome the Tánaiste's condemnation of the incident and I agree with his language. The difficulty is that this is the culmination of a number of attacks that have gone on for two years, including a previous attack on Mr. Lunney when he had his nose broken. Another executive had boiling water thrown in his face. As I said, there seems to be complacency in seeing through the...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (18 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: The Taoiseach mentioned that one of his meetings with Ms Foster was at the funeral of Lyra McKee. The celebrant of that funeral, Fr. McGill, set a challenge for all politicians to act. That was in April. It is now September. Are we any further on in that regard? We do not have the institutions up and running and I fear the vacuum that existed in April still exists coming towards the end...
