Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Alan Kelly: Thank you. We had a meeting with Tusla here some time ago. The officials are well aware of it.

I do not want Mr. McCarthy to provide information on that, but he is obviously well aware of it and it is of deep concern. Will he provide documentation relating to correspondence between the Department and...

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Alan Kelly: I noticed there have been changes in that regard. That is fine. I will be a bit parochial in my example.

I appreciate Drogheda is a different scale to Roscrea, but is it not just a bit of common sense? Now, it is a criterion afterwards.

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Alan Kelly: Let me go about it another way. The decision has also been made as part of this that the Government is going to buy another hotel. I have spoken to at least a dozen Ministers in this Government and they laugh at this, including some of the Ministers involved.
