Helen McEntee: First, I commend the work of An Garda Síochána. I particularly wish to thank the work of community gardaí. They provide vital support within communities. We saw how important their work is throughout the Covid-19 pandemic in particular in visiting people and looking after those who are more vulnerable. I refer to the day-to-day work they do in supporting organisations,...

Richard Bruton: The US Surgeon General sought a tobacco-style labelling on social media this week. He cited the damage to mental health and well-being for younger people due to high levels of exposure to social media which damages self-esteem, causes feelings of depression and a decline in the quality and quantity of their relationships, particularly for young women. He cited that these are not a failure...

Claire Kerrane: The Minister will be aware of the "RTÉ Investigates" programme last week showing the horrific abuse of horses.

Martin Heydon: I can reassure Deputy Kerrane the Department of agriculture takes the issue of animal welfare, for which it has responsibility for, extremely seriously. While we cannot reference or specifically refer to individual cases that may be before the courts or are likely to be before the courts in the future, in terms of the overall approach to welfare, we are all horrified by the scenes we saw on...

Alan Kelly: The people of Borrisokane bucked a trend in 2019 when they took in and welcomed 96 international protection applicants in the Riverside apartments, which included 27 primary school children. They now have status but are actually being evicted. The Minister's Department, in November 2019, sent and signed an agreement with them and with the liaison committee in Borrisokane stating that once...

Joe O'Brien: The Deputy will be aware that I have spoken on this issue already. I acknowledge the commitment of the people of Borrisokane to the new arrivals. It is not unique, as the Deputy will have seen from the case in County Clare.

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue. Like every other year, the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, will be holding consultation with all the various groupings.
