[9928/11]

Schools Counselling Services (4 May 2011)

Seán Crowe: I thank the Minister for responding to this matter. I tabled this question to find out what is happening in this regard. We all accept that there is a crisis and the House has spent some days recently discussing suicide prevention. One difficulty, however, is that schools may take different approaches to such cases. I am not saying that one approach will fit all, but this growing crisis...

Schools Counselling Services (4 May 2011)

Seán Crowe: I am aware of schools that have a problem in this regard. My worry is that I do not know who is taking an overview of what is happening in the schools. Is the Department monitoring this and looking at particular schools where a problem has arisen? Is it examining the response to this problem? Are officials monitoring this growing phenomenon in schools?

Special Educational Needs (4 May 2011)

Seán Crowe: Question 8: To ask the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to review the allocation of special needs assistants in DEIS schools; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9929/11]

Special Educational Needs (4 May 2011)

Seán Crowe: The Minister will accept that there are particular demands on DEIS schools in terms of where children come from. I accept what he said, that he has an envelope for education services. However, there are particular demands on SNA support services in DEIS schools. In many cases there is a senior and a junior school operating in tandem. When the EPSEN Act was passing through the House we...

Energy Resources: Motion (Resumed) (20 Apr 2011)

Seán Crowe: I suppose those who have spoken about leprechauns are referring to the perceived pot of gold which, as we have said in our motion, we want to go to the Irish people rather than to private companies. When the Minister responded to our motion, he did not say whether he thinks the current terms and conditions governing oil and gas represent a good deal for Ireland. Does anyone not working for...

Public Transport (20 Apr 2011)

Seán Crowe: While we all want Dublin Bus services to improve, difficulties arise when one tries to change services. I am involved in the Dublin Bus forum in Tallaght. As part of the consultation process, we asked for additional meetings to be held with members of the local community which relies on public transport. Will the review take into account factors such as age profile, local unemployment...

Road Network (20 Apr 2011)

Seán Crowe: Question 31: To ask the Minister for Transport; Tourism and Sport his plans to extend the use of bus lanes; his further plans to review the bus lane system; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8613/11]

Road Network (20 Apr 2011)

Seán Crowe: On plans to review the network of bus lanes, Deputies will be aware of bus lanes being established on routes where a bus service is not provided. This is crazy and must change. Will this issue be examined as part of the review? Another issue which arises is the use of bus lanes by non-bus traffic during off-peak times. I am aware this could give rise to difficulties but we need to take a...

Energy Resources: Motion (19 Apr 2011)

Seán Crowe: We have not heard tomorrow night's speeches.

Order of Business (19 Apr 2011)

Seán Crowe: My question is about the issue of bankruptcy. Most of those who are becoming bankrupt are not major speculators or developers. Increasingly, suppliers, small shopkeepers and so on are facing bankruptcy. However, when a bankrupt person dies, the debt is passed to the family. There are some whose spouses have been affected in the last 20 years. There was talk in the media that this issue...

Suicide Prevention: Statements (Resumed) (14 Apr 2011)

Seán Crowe: The last time this issue was discussed in the House, I received a telephone call from a friend whose sister-in-law of 20 years of age had taken her own life. As one does, I turned up at the church as did large numbers. I do not know how many funerals I have attended of people who have gone down this road. Everybody was a bit stunned because this girl was full of life. People talked about...
