Mary Lou McDonald: At the end of February, on Leaders' Questions, I raised the case of Maggie, a ten-year-old child in desperate need of mental health support. Maggie has endured cancer and suffers from depression, anxiety and self-injurious behaviour. She is in very serious distress and does not leave the house except to go to school. Maggie was on an urgent list for over a year before getting a CAMHS...

It is set out in statute now and a plan needs to be put in place. What is in that plan is critically important and this is what we are talking about here. ...

Malcolm Noonan: -----that this Government has made no progress on biodiversity. We have done much more than many Governments in previous years. Deputy Conway-Walsh mentioned Mayo, which probably has more LIFE projects interacting with one other, such as LIFE on Machair, Corncrake LIFE and Wild Atlantic Nature, than any other county. Again, farmers and landowners are participating very enthusiastically in...

- Nature Restoration Law: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jun 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: -----a nature restoration plan and it is important that people are aware of that. Again, I welcome what has largely been a constructive debate. I welcome the fact we can debate it in a mature way and give assurances. This is a much broader issue than just agricultural lands or annexe 1 habitats. It is far-reaching. It is going to involve participation of local government and of many...
