Joe Flaherty: It has been nine very difficult and worrying months for staff and the families of service users associated with St. Christopher's Services in Longford. The service has been historically underfunded and issues have been compounded by its section 39 status. I appreciate that the HSE has forward-funded the service since October, but it still needs an additional €140,000 per month to...

Michael McGrath: I thank Deputy Flaherty. I am familiar with the excellent work the staff in St. Christopher's do on an ongoing basis. I thank him for advocating for them in the House this afternoon. There are ongoing meetings between the HSE and St. Christopher's. As he has acknowledged, the HSE has assisted St. Christopher's in dealing with financial challenges through a cash acceleration process and...

Dessie Ellis: In light of a number of very serious incidents involving dogs described as XL bullies, it has been indicated by the Government that it intends to introduce legislation to ban these dogs. I have seen a worrying increase in the number of such dogs in my constituency, often without any restraints or leads. This is of real concern for residents. XL bullies are not a specific breed, so how will...

Michael McGrath: I thank Deputy Ellis. We are all absolutely horrified by what happened in Limerick and our hearts go out to the family of the victim. The Minister, Deputy Humphreys, is awaiting a report and expects to receive it very shortly. I anticipate it will be received in the coming weeks and the Government will make a prompt decision on the back of it. In advance of that, we are looking at the...

Paul Donnelly: Dublin West has seen a significant increase in population but Garda numbers have not kept pace. Limerick has a similar population size to that of Dublin West but it has three Garda stations and three times the number of gardaí. There has been a surge in criminal activity and antisocial behaviour in Dublin 15 recently. A key starting point was a double murder on Christmas Eve in...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (13 Jun 2024)

Michael McGrath: I thank Deputy Donnelly. He pre-empted my response because it is the truth. It is an operational matter for the Garda Commissioner to decide on the allocation of resources. I am not sure if a Sinn Féin Government would propose a different way, whereby the Government would decide where gardaí go. The Garda Commissioner will do so. We accept our responsibility, which is to...

Brian Stanley: My question relates to the nursing recruitment embargo. Yesterday, I heard the Taoiseach say there was no embargo. I received a letter from somebody who is waiting to be transferred to CAMHS in Portlaoise. The person said he or she is currently working in Dublin, but is on a panel to work in Portlaoise with Laois CAMHS and the position is being delayed due to the nursing recruitment...
