Alan Kelly: I referred to the independent adjudicator.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2024)
Paschal Donohoe: Standing or independent; it is the same point. It is not really a question for the board as to whether it has confidence in that independent adjudicator. Indeed, it has challenged the decisions that were made by the adjudicator recently through the initiation of High Court proceedings. As I said in answer to questions earlier, I expect and support the board to take all the steps it needs...

Danny Healy-Rae: I raise the very serious issue of posts that are waiting to be filled in hospitals in Kerry. University Hospital Kerry has 50 vacant posts for nurses and carers. In Tralee Community Hospital, there are five vacant posts for nurses and there is no director of nursing in place. Dingle Community Hospital has three vacant nursing posts. We wish to have some Irish-speaking nurses appointed to...

Paschal Donohoe: We need the HSE and the hospitals to ensure that the posts they recruit for are posts that are budgeted. That is the general stance in regard to the funding of posts within our health service, as it is across the rest of government. I will raise the specific hospitals the Deputy mentioned with the Minister for Health.

Marian Harkin: Ballynacarrow is a village on the N17 in County Sligo that immediately needs traffic-calming measures, yet nothing is happening. In 2024, Sligo County Council allocated €264,000 to safety improvement works for the entire county. That is a great deal less than the cost of the bicycle shed out the front of this building. While there is no traffic calming in Ballynacarrow, Sligo County...

Paschal Donohoe: Deputy Harkin knows I do not know the answer to her question. She knows I do not have the information regarding traffic-calming schemes, no matter how important they are, in every village in the country.

Paschal Donohoe: On the general point she raised regarding the need to continue to invest in road safety schemes, the Minister for Transport is committed to doing that, as is the Minister of State, Deputy Lawless. We will continue to ensure that features in the budget.

Jennifer Whitmore: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. People are absolutely furious, rightly so, about the debacle, and the waste of money, that is the Leinster House bike shed. The mission statement of the Department of public expenditure and reform is "to serve the public interest through sound governance of public expenditure". As senior Minister with responsibility for the OPW, Deputy Donohoe is...
