Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Paschal Donohoe: Even in matters of such importance, the Deputy cannot park his normal tactics of allegation and division. The Government has made clear again and again its condemnation of what is happening. It is this Government, with the support of the Oireachtas, that brought forward our recognition of the State of Palestine. It is the same Government that took action to protect UNGA to ensure the...

Paul Murphy: For almost a year, Israel has been waging a genocidal war against Palestinians. More than 40,000 people in Gaza have been murdered. Israeli attacks on Lebanon have not just started in recent days, but rather they have been escalating over the last year. Over the last year, there have been approximately 10,000 attacks on Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,000 people. Israel...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Paschal Donohoe: I thank Deputy Murphy for raising what is such a deeply important issue for all of us, for the Middle East and for the world. The Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and the Government have been at the forefront in responding to and representing the views of the Irish people on the conflict in the Middle East and what this means for the people of Gaza and Lebanon. The Taoiseach and...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Paschal Donohoe: In the Deputy's question to me, she made reference to all the other projects that are under way across our country, whether it be homes or the delivery of public transport. In many cases, the delivery of capital projects by this Government happens in the way the public wants and happens on time. Despite the surge in inflation we have seen in recent years, many of these projects do happen in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Paschal Donohoe: -----from the delivery of the children's hospital. Deputy Bacik asks what steps the Government is taking to ensure this hospital is delivered. As she rightly says, the most important thing now is how we learn from what has happened, how we get the hospital open and how we get it providing care to sick young children. What steps are we taking in this regard? Two main steps are being...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Ivana Bacik: Clearly, children need this hospital built. We all need and want to see it built. We want to see it open and delivering the necessary services. It is just not good enough, however, for Deputy Donohoe, as Minister for public expenditure, or for the health Minister to simply say what the board is doing and not to reassure people what the Government is doing to ensure an outcome here. I...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Paschal Donohoe: The board is a representative of the State here. The board is taking action on behalf of the Government. The Deputy knows well that that is the case. She is making a claim regarding the Government not being involved in this despite the fact that the board of the hospital is acting on behalf of the Government. As regards the charges the Deputy made regarding the performance of our...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Paschal Donohoe: It does not matter what answer I give to the House. It does not matter how I look to answer Deputy McDonald today. Her response is always going to be the same - to find any answer insufficient and to find any evidence of progress or an attempt to deal with the issue not good enough. I outlined in my answer to her that we do not accept as sufficient or satisfactory where this project stands...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Ivana Bacik: I want to ask about political accountability for what is happening with the children's hospital or, rather, what is not happening. I read the coverage of the letter sent by the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, to the Taoiseach about the latest delays relating to the building of the new hospital. Perhaps that correspondence could more accurately be described as a letter from the Minister to the...

Paschal Donohoe: I thank Deputy McDonald for raising this issue. Week after week in the Dáil, she and other Deputies, including Government Deputies, raise the ongoing concerns relating to the need to meet the healthcare needs of sick young girls and boys and the improvement we have to make to how healthcare is provided to our youngest. That is why the national children's hospital is so important and...
