Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: That is no comfort to businesses throughout the country that are facing extraordinary rises - hundreds of percent - in premiums, including nightclubs, restaurants, community events such as festivals and play centres. People have been made redundant because they cannot pay for insurance or get a quote. While the Government is coming up with these action plans, insurance companies are...

Comptroller and Auditor General (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (12 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: What has the Government done to change it?

Comptroller and Auditor General (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (12 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: We published this legislation in January 2018, immediately ahead of the publication of the so-called Project Ireland 2040 wish list. The first flagship project referred to in Project Ireland 2040, the national children's hospital, has been marked by incompetence and avoidance of responsibility. We have seen nothing in terms of concrete achievements or straight answers on what is a major...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: General Practitioner Services (7 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: I welcome the clarification in relation to Bangor Erris. However, the Minister of State's response is completely removed from the reality on the ground. He spoke of increased places on GP training schemes. For the first time anyone can remember, there are vacancies on training schemes because people do not want to be GPs. It is no longer a desired option for so many people and those who...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: General Practitioner Services (7 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: I thank the Ceann Comhairle and his staff for allowing me to raise this issue this evening. Being a Galway man, the Minister of State is probably familiar with Kiltane and Bangor Erris, which is at the centre of the parish. There has been an excellent general practitioner serving that community for some years now. The superb staff there give a very good service. It was difficult to fill...

Dara Calleary: Did he pass the information on?

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (7 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: The motion is a welcome development. Returning to my previous question, if the Secretary General in the Minister's Department was aware of a major cost overrun and did not inform her, what action would she take?

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (7 Feb 2019)

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: What projects will be reprofiled - with thanks to Deputy Cowen for the word - or delayed throughout the country to pay for the Government ineptitude around the children's hospital? When will we be made aware of those projects? Do we have to wait for PwC for that too?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: I welcome the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Zappone, for Leaders' Questions. She has a babysitter with her just in case; the independents are at last taking charge of the Government.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: It is interesting that Fine Gael Ministers have gone missing today. We have just finished a debate in which the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, discussed the need for fiscal stability in the context of wage agreements. Everyone agrees with that, but it is very difficult to take that lecture, given what is happening with the national children's hospital project. There was no worry...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: Is that credible? Is it credible that such information has been floating around at Secretary General level and was not passed on? What does it say to the Minister about relationships at the heart of the Government and those within the Department of Health? Until now we have heard the Fine Gael defence - a backstop defence, if you will - which has been repeated with absolute discipline. We...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Feb 2019)

Dara Calleary: This is a case of a new Minister giving the same old response. We have not received answers, which is why we keep asking the questions. The Ministers have replied to questions but do not answer them. We believe PwC is receiving €450,000 - it might be higher - to give us the answers, yet at last night's Fine Gael Parliamentary Party meeting the blame was laid squarely at the feet of...
