- Leaders' Questions (13 Apr 2017)
Brendan Howlin: Not only the specific commitment but the signature commitment of last year's budget will not happen. That was clear in February. We knew there were going to be problems with the scheme because Pobal told the Government so during the pre-legislative scrutiny. The Government has had since February at least to be honest with people and tell them this would not happen in the timeline set out...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: National Emergency Plan (12 Apr 2017)
Brendan Howlin: 2 o’clock When an emergency happens in Britain, everybody expects what is known as COBRA, which is basically the Cabinet Office emergency unit, to come into existence under the auspices of the British Prime Minister. Is it appropriate that we would have our own prime ministerial command centre to deal with any emergency that might arise and to bring in the particular expertise we...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: National Emergency Plan (12 Apr 2017)
Brendan Howlin: I associate myself and my party with the remarks of the Taoiseach with regard to the ongoing search for the two missing crewmen of Rescue 116. There has been extraordinary public support and anguish empathising with the bereaved. These are people who have selflessly given their lives in this instance to support communities. I am reminded of that every time I cross Wexford Bridge to go home...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (12 Apr 2017)
Brendan Howlin: I commend the Government and all those involved, especially Cystic Fibrosis Ireland, on their efforts to reach a conclusion on the Orkambi issue. I hope it will be a pathfinder for similar issues as they arise, especially for discrete groups of people who suffer terribly despite the fact that breakthrough medicines are available. Will the Taoiseach address the status of a Government...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (12 Apr 2017)
Brendan Howlin: I am concerned that there is no clear enunciation of a transport policy from the Government. It is unacceptable that this company is so distant from Government, although the Government owns it 100%, that the Government cannot have a vision of what public transport in Ireland should look like and how Bus Éireann will fit in to that vision. Most people are aghast at the complete lack of...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (12 Apr 2017)
Brendan Howlin: I certainly have no difficulty with pre-European Council statements. I think they are the absolute norm and this is a particularly important meeting of the Council. We discuss this matter virtually every day during Leaders' Questions and we have had very good interactions in respect of preparing the ground for these matters. However, I have always been of the view that getting the right...
