Micheál Martin: I will discuss this with the Minister for housing. The Government has been anxious to progress this scheme to get houses remediated, repaired, restored and built anew if that is required. I will certainly talk to the Minister, but the agenda of the Government is to work with people to get these houses-----

Réada Cronin: There is endless delay to the permanent building for Gaelscoil Ruairí in Maynooth which was to move from stage 2B during the summer, only it has not budged. Is breá agus is iontach é go bhfuil an dara Gaelscoil ag teastáil i Maigh Nuad mar tá éileamh ann. The families of north County Kildare live in real time, and they see their children's lives slipping away...

Micheál Martin: Beidh mé ag caint leis an Aire Oideachais níos déanaí. Níl aon amhras orm go bhfuil rudaí atá freagrach as an moill. Bhí mé ag caint leis an gComhairleoir Naoise Ó Cearúil chomh maith agus tá a fhios agam faoin gceist seo. Tá mé sásta go ndéanfaimis ár n-iarracht an scoil a thógáil chomh tapa...

The Animal Sentience Bill 2024 is the first of its kind in this State. I thank the dedicated animal rights activists...

Darren O'Rourke: There is chaos on commuter rail services since the changes at the end of August. I have constituents contacting me who use Laytown station, and Gormanston and Drogheda. The changes at the end of August have led to widespread delays, overcrowding on platforms and overcrowded trains. It is a well raised issue. There is concern in our county as well that there are changes coming for the bus...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Is the Minister of State, Deputy Lawless, taking this?
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (26 Sep 2024)
James Lawless: I will take that for the Department of Transport. I am aware of those issues on the northern commuter line. The Kildare line is affected as well. A number of the greater Dublin area routes are affected. The core issue is the Enterprise line to Belfast which has gone from two-hourly to hourly. That is a service improvement but it has a knock-on effect. Signalling into Connolly needs to...

Fergus O'Dowd: Covid has taken the lives of over 9,500 citizens to date in our country. It was a shock and an appalling vista to all of those families who lost those loved ones. As a supporter of the Government, I want to know what we are going to do in relation to learning the lessons from the deaths from Covid. Ninety per cent of those deaths were people aged over 65. Older people are queuing up...

Micheál Martin: The Government has undertaken a lot of work in respect of an evaluation of how the nation did in respect of Covid-19, which was an extremely traumatic and devastating time for many families across the country who lost their loved ones. No doubt vaccination changed the course of the pandemic and enabled us to live with Covid into the future, but it still is a dangerous virus, particularly for...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I have so many families around the county of Carlow whose children were refused places on the local school bus. For example, Bus Éireann has a private operator in Rathvilly, which is a small rural part of Carlow, but one of the buses is a 24-seater. I have asked for a bigger bus, a 52-seater, which would sort out a huge issue in that area. This bus goes from Rathvilly to Tullow...

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (26 Sep 2024)
Micheál Martin: First, I will talk to the Minister for Education in respect of this specific issue. I am surprised that Bus Éireann has not conceded yet. Given that Deputy Murnane-O'Connor is in weekly engagement with them, I would have thought-----

Micheál Martin: -----that, given the manner in which she approaches these agencies with her tenacity, they would have caved in by now. Anyhow, in a serious vein, it is a serious issue. I think there is an issue with some people getting tickets but not using them and then taking up seats that other people would use. We need to resolve that. I will talk to the Minister to see what we can do.

Mairead Farrell: Bhí sé iontach a bheith ar Inis Mór roinnt seachtainí ó shin i gcomhair sheoladh oifigiúil otharcharr nua Inis Mór. Bhí súil ag muintir Inis Oírr go bhfaigheadh siad sean-otharcharr Inis Mór ach ní bhfuair mar gheall go raibh sé i ndroch-chaoi. Tuigim sin ach is léir go dteastaíonn otharcharr ó Inis Oírr....

Micheál Martin: Mar a dúirt an Teachta, is iontach an scéal é go bhfuil otharcharr nua in Inis Mór anois. Níl aon ionadh orm go bhfuil muintir Inis Oírr ag lorg otharchairr chomh maith. Fuair an tAire Sláinte an-chuid airgid i mbliana agus, faoi láthair, don bhliain seo chugainn tá sé ag lorg níos mó airgid agus áiseanna. De réir...
