Simon Harris: I heard the serious concerns of the people of Borrisokane recently when I was in Tipperary and I have received some correspondence from them which I will come back to them on after I have engaged with the Minister. I do take it that Borrisokane, and I am just referencing that place because it is the one I know, has been very welcoming and helpful in responding to the humanitarian crisis.

Marian Harkin: I am asking that the Taoiseach make every effort to ensure staff at the National Advocacy Service for People with Disabilities are awarded their pay claims as recommended by the Labour Court last January, where it was recommended that management in the national advocacy service would make a case to the Department for the funding required to provide their pay increases. However, five months...

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Harkin for raising this important matter. I am advised by the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, that she understands that the national advocacy service submitted a business case to the Citizens Information Board in relation to pay grades and other conditions on 10 May last on foot of that Labour Court recommendation. My understanding is that, as part of these considerations, the...

Patrick Costello: I want to raise the important issue of the primary care centre for Drimnagh, which has been repeatedly delayed. There has been significant development of housing in Drimnagh, which is very welcome, but it is massively increasing the population and the pressure on the limited spaces that exist. Currently, we have senior citizens travelling from Drimnagh to Naas for ophthalmology services....

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Costello for raising the issue of the need for a primary care centre for Drimnagh. I will follow up with the HSE directly. As the Deputy says, a site was identified.

Claire Kerrane: The Taoiseach will remember the closure of the accident and emergency unit in Roscommon hospital in 2011. In its place, we were promised a rapid response vehicle with an advanced paramedic on board 24-7, not least due to the distance people in Roscommon would be from the nearest accident and emergency department. That has been in place for the past 13 years. In recent months it has been...

Brendan Smith: I have raised previously the urgent need to have the in-person day services restored at the Irish Wheelchair Association centre in Cavan town. I appreciate the work to date of the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, on this important issue. The cessation of services occurred because of staffing shortages. I know from speaking to service users, their families and staff in the IWA that the...

Bernard Durkan: Once again I raise the continued use of the parental alienation clause in family law, which is causing continued and ever-increasing hardship to mothers, some fathers, and particularly to children, who are the victims in this entire matter. The Minister has promised to deal with this and has done a lot of work, as have a number of Ministers on the Government side of the House. I ask that...

Helen McEntee: I thank the Deputy for continually raising this issue. The only way and the most important way in which the welfare of a child can be heard in family proceedings is through the various welfare reports and voice of the child reports. I have undertaken a review of those reports. I am pleased to say that review has come to Cabinet. There are 20 recommendations, separated between welfare...

Mairead Farrell: Is mian liom ceist maidir le toghchán bhoird Údarás na Gaeltachta a ardú leis an Taoiseach. Dúradh ar dtús anuraidh go mbeadh na toghcháin sin ar siúl ar an lá céanna leis na toghcháin áitiúla ach, ar ndóigh, níor tharla sé sin. Anois, táthar á rá go mbeidh an reachtaíocht rite roimh...
