Micheál Martin: Whatever I can do, I will do. I want to keep a boxing club of that calibre and quality open because it provides wonderful opportunities in the sport of boxing to young people. I will ask the Minister of State with special responsibility for sport, Deputy Chambers, to follow up with the Deputy. I think we should also follow up with Dublin City Council as well. Grants have been allocated to...

Micheál Martin: -----been allocated to sporting authorities around the energy issue, to the national parent bodies, as I understand it. This money will be allocated at the end of December. We must try to find a way to ensure that clubs like this get supports. There should be a facility through the local authority to sort these things out.

Micheál Martin: I am sorry. The Deputy is getting into semantics again. I put it to her that when we bring legislation forward, in the next week or two, I expect her to support it.

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (23 Nov 2022)
Micheál Martin: As regards the idea that the Taoiseach of the day is being asked to tell a hospital to go and apply for planning permission, there is something wrong there. I do not know what the issue is. I take the Deputy's point, though. Speaking more broadly, we want to provide additional services and, in particular, to improve cancer services. The Deputy is aware, in the context of the radiation...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2022)
Micheál Martin: I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue. The Deputy will recall that about a fortnight ago, he and Deputy Cahill accompanied me to the campus of Mary Immaculate Teacher Training College where we met the students and senior management. Clearly, the indications are that the authorities there would make a site on the campus available for such a new school. Deputies Lowry and...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2022)
Micheál Martin: When I met Deputies Lowry and Cahill in Thurles, I was very taken by the presentation by the authorities of Mary Immaculate College and its vision of a synergy between second-level education, further education and third-level education all on the one campus. This has potential. I have spoken to the Minister for Education. I am conscious that the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2022)
Micheál Martin: The legislation was well balanced in trying to give additional protections to tenants. In many instances, it has been effective in giving that protection. Much of the legislation we have passed has given protection. Some of the issues the Deputy identified in respect of the individual case are legally challengeable. We will examine that to see if any further actions can be taken to...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2022)
Micheál Martin: As I said in reply to Deputy Bacik, the Government has brought in a range of legal measures to protect tenants insofar as we possibly can. Section 35A of the Residential Tenancies Act, known as the Tyrrelstown amendment, provides that where a landlord proposes to sell ten or more units within a single development at the same time, that sale is subject to the existing tenants remainingin...

Micheál Martin: I again thank the Deputy for raising the issue. I have said that I will engage with the Minister on this. The Minister said in this House that he engaged with the Deputy about Tathony House. He has engaged with the council on this. We will examine this to see what we can do to help the tenants. Our only interest is helping the tenants in terms of security of tenure. All our legislation...

Micheál Martin: In fairness, I am not going to individually get involved in every case that comes before us in respect of services, such as the need for the HSE to provide services to Neil, for example. We will make representations and speak to the HSE in respect of the case but other children also require access to services and assessments. A recent legal case has impacted the model of assessment-----
