Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025) Joanna Byrne: Ms Kelly must be aware that spina bifida advocate groups and many of the parents of the affected children have been asking for this information. It is not necessarily about open disclosure and CHI having to decide whether to reach out to them or whether a threshold is met. They have reached out to CHI and have got nothing. They have been stonewalled. To refer again to Ms Nugent's opening...
- Middle East: Statements (2 Jul 2025)
Joanna Byrne: This week, we read more reports of starving Palestinians in Gaza being fired upon and murdered by the IDF as they made their way to Israeli and US-run aid centres for food. It really is the lowest of the low and I cannot think of another conflict where this has happened on a daily basis, with no consequences for the perpetrators or any real possibility of consequences. Israeli officials...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Update on Departmental Priorities and Legislation: Department of Culture, Communications and Sport (2 Jul 2025)
Joanna Byrne: I welcome the Minister and the Minister of State to the committee. I am envious of them. They hold roles that are unusual for many Ministers and Ministers of State because their portfolios and briefs touch the hearts and minds of nearly every household and family in the country. I think it will probably be quite an enjoyable brief, once we get over all the Arts Council business. ...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Update on Departmental Priorities and Legislation: Department of Culture, Communications and Sport (2 Jul 2025)
Joanna Byrne: I respect that, but I am aware of several clubs that have been told that they are at the top of a reserve list. There is an example in Louth GAA, which has made great strides in recent months to move its project on, but is now depending on the next round of the LSSIF or perhaps a move to the reserve list if successful projects cannot come into fruition. There seems to be a little bit of a...

Joanna Byrne: In the Minister's statement, he mentioned the inadequate response after Storm Éowyn and how his Department is reviewing statutory powers available to the Minister and ComReg in relation to requirements on operators. The Minister noted the storm-related information gathering network integrity obligations regarding restoration and informing consumers about networking services. How far...
- GPO and Moore Street Regeneration as a 1916 Cultural Quarter: Motion [Private Members] (1 Jul 2025)
Joanna Byrne: I rightfully expected the Government’s response in the amendment to this Private Members' motion to be the same dismissive smokescreen which has been thrown up whenever the future of the GPO and our historic buildings on Moore Street where the leaders of 1916 made their last stand is raised. However, let us be clear: this Private Members' motion is only in response to the...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Sports Facilities (26 Jun 2025)
Joanna Byrne: The delays are regrettable. They are, unfortunately, a sign of the times in which we live. None of us wants this opportunity to slip away and to be left looking back with regret in the years to come having made no progress. I note and appreciate the Minister of State's collegial tone. I look forward to working with the Department and both the Minister and Minister of State to assist in...

To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment his position on the redevelopment of the landmark Ulster GAA stadium, Casement Park; and the steps his Department is taking to support the project to construction phase; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Sports Facilities (26 Jun 2025)
Joanna Byrne: I welcome the Minister of State's comments about North-South co-operation and striving to build cross-community relationships. The amount pledged by the Government has been broadly welcomed in all corners of our country, along with the £50 million from the UK Government, the £62 million from Stormont and the £15 million from the GAA. Although the project is still some way...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Joanna Byrne: I apologise for having had to step out of the meeting for a moment. I will start by saying I am very supportive of the work of An Garda Síochána, particularly in my home town of Drogheda and the work being done by that division in recent years. Everyone will be aware that Drogheda has been the centre of a very vicious feud between drug gangs, which has terrorised families and...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Joanna Byrne: I really appreciate that. I do commend the work, particularly of Operation Stratus. It has been a massive success in recent years and continues to be. We need a fully operational community policing unit to keep things at bay and, more importantly, to keep down the barriers that have been broken down, particularly by the superintendent on the ground in Drogheda, and to rebuild that trust...
