Seán Canney: I thank Ministers Donohoe and Chambers, and their teams, for their time in coming to the committee.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Seán Canney: I am aware that money has been spent and that maybe more money has been spent. The Minister said it is up 41% but is that because of the additional cost in getting works done? Is it through budgetary problems? A project on the N17 is realignment and safety works where there have been accidents and fatalities. This work is now stalled. I believe €1 million was allocated this year....

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Seán Canney: That is the point I was trying to make. Inflation is probably eating into a good bit of the budget at the moment.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (10 Jul 2024)

Seán Canney: We need to pay them another visit when we are finished here, maybe to get money for disabilities. I thank the Minister of State for coming in. I will not detain her. My questioning will not be too long. I believe that in trying to do everything right, we still are struggling to get the basics right.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (10 Jul 2024)

We have to get around what is wrong. We know what is wrong. I believe the day of reckoning is coming.
