Thomas Gould: I want to be really fair to the Minister of State. I know she is reading out a response she was given. It is the same response other Ministers have read out previously. She stated that she has received assurances from the Blackpool treatment centre. I have in my hand a copy of the facts and figures I obtained in the response to a parliamentary question. In January 2019, 2,399 patients...

Thomas Gould: I have the information in my hand. In addition, I rang the service when my wife and daughter had the influenza that was going around. I have been raising this issue for a year. How can a company that is getting millions of euro to provide an out-of-hours service get away with not providing that service? It closed the clinic in Kilworth. It has laid off drivers across Cork county and cut...

Thomas Gould: In the first five months of this year, there was an 87% drop in the number of patients seen in SouthDoc in Blackpool compared with 2019, representing almost 9,000 fewer patients seen in the first six of months of the year. My constituents who use the SouthDoc out-of-hours facility have told me that people are being sent to the Kinsale Road, Youghal or Midleton, but SouthDoc in Blackpool is...

Thomas Gould: I said the Minister got the information from the HSE and SouthDoc. What the Minister said was a lie. The Minister might have believed it to be true, but the information he had was incorrect. I want the Dáil record corrected because I am right and the Minister is wrong. He got information from SouthDoc in Blackpool that is a lie. May I say-----
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (2 Jul 2024)
Thomas Gould: I have listened to the Tánaiste's comments about questions and I understand the point he is making that he is limited in what he can say because some of these cases are in front of the courts and others are probably being looked at by senior people in the Defence Forces. I understand he is in a particular situation in that regard. I also listened to his comments about trying to change...

- Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (2 Jul 2024)
Thomas Gould: We had the RTB before the housing committee today and it was a really informative meeting. There is no doubt there are changes that need to be made to improve services provided by the RTB. However, the current system for students living in digs does not even allow them to bring a case to the RTB. This Bill would allow both homeowners and tenants to access the RTB and it is a vital...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
Thomas Gould: I thank the witnesses for being here. I apologise that I have been in other meetings. Is there a need for increased visibility of the RTB dispute timelines? There have been reports that some disputed cases, including those involving serious antisocial behaviour, have taken more than six or 12 months for a determination order to be given. What does the RTB hope to do to address this timeline?

Thomas Gould: In Cork, 544 notices of termination were received by the RTB in the first quarter of this year alone. In 2023, some 2,180 eviction notices were served in Cork. Were all of them valid notices to quit and if not, how many were valid? If they were all valid, what was the total number that came in? Is there a mechanism for the RTB to notify Cork City Council about these notifications and if...
