In the context of what are expected to be 130 km/h winds with spring tides, there is considerable disruption forecast for the morning. As the impact of this will be felt at commuting time, when will the Government be in a position to...

Dara Calleary: Coverage of the budget and related events will probably have overshadowed the very significant speech by Mr. Michel Barnier on the withdrawal treaty and the progress achieved in that regard. I understand from his speech, as covered in a RTÉ report this morning, that some 85% of the agreement between the United Kingdom and European Union has been agreed. The remaining 15% applies...

Dara Calleary: I thank the Tánaiste for his response. That uncertainty makes it all the more important to engage the DUP. That was the core of my question. Has the Tánaiste plans to meet the DUP to reflect his proposals to it directly given that Mrs. Foster has met Mr. Barnier? She has obviously got the relationship she has with the UK Government. Do we intend to communicate the Irish...

Dara Calleary: InThe Irish Timesyesterday there was a story by Kitty Holland to the effect that the largest direct provision centre in Dublin is to close at the beginning of December because the company that manages it has given notice of its intention to cease that contract. This is the third direct provision centre in Dublin to close this year. A total of 357 people have been staying in this...

Dara Calleary: The Taoiseach said the hotel recently advised the Department but that the Department met it only yesterday.

Dara Calleary: Two weeks ago, I raised with the Tánaiste the issue of Spinraza, a life-changing drug on which 25 families are waiting for a response. He committed to get back to me but has not done so. More important, the 25 families still have no information as to when a decision will be taken. Even though proposals were submitted to the Health Service Executive, HSE, in July, with a much lower...

Dara Calleary: There are many commitments in the programme for Government to enhancing and implementing greater access to primary care services. At the centre of any primary care system is having enough general practitioners, GPs, in urban and rural areas. We all agree that the life of GPs is not an easy one. They spend long hours in surgery and in communities listening to, meeting and treating people of...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Oct 2018)

Dara Calleary: The Tánaiste speaks about dialogue but there is no dialogue. The discussions around FEMPI have been long-fingered. The National Association of General Practitioners, NAGP, which represents many GPs, is not even involved in them. Research and surveys are available to show that maybe 70% of GPs are no longer in a position to take new patients because of the pressure on their practice,...

Dara Calleary: The Minister mentioned earlier that the Government will establish a rent register. It is absolutely crucial it is established particularly given the report this morning. It has been promised on many occasions. When exactly will renters in this country have access to that rent register and to the information? Will they have access to it before the end of this year?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Sep 2018)

Dara Calleary: We all saw and heard Rebecca Carter this morning. She is an 18 year old student from Wexford who completed her leaving certificate examination this year hoping to get enough points to do veterinary medicine in University College Dublin, UCD. When Rebecca received her results in August, she fell just short for the first and second round offers and sought a recheck of her papers. That review...

Dara Calleary: We all smiled with Rebecca, but where were we last August when Rebecca was in tears when she missed out on her place? Where were we when she was told that she should not have missed out on that place but that she would not have it until this time next year? We smiled because Rebecca had to go to the High Court to smile. She had to go that far and spend that kind of money to secure her...
