Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023 (Bill 54 of 2023): Report and Final Stages (15 Nov 2023)

Seán Canney: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this Bill. I too have serious reservations about the idea of bringing in legislation to more or less curtail people from expressing a view that they may have. It is important that we set ourselves back from this and look at what the Garda Commissioner has said. He said he has the legislation to protect people. Why are we bringing in more legislation...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (9 Nov 2023)

Seán Canney: Last night in the agriculture committee, we had representation in from the Shannon Callows. We had Michael Smith, Liam Broderick and Pat Ryan and, basically, they set out for us what they are going through annually along the Shannon Callows with the flooding. I welcome the fact that the Minister has brought in a fodder scheme but they want to see the detail of that and they want to know if...

Home Care Workers and Home Support Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (8 Nov 2023)

Seán Canney: I thank the Labour Party for bringing forward the motion. It is important that we look at this in the context of what is happening on the ground. People are being assessed for 14 hours of home care help but are getting five hours. An 85-year-old man rang me last Friday evening to say his home care worker was not available last weekend and there was no replacement. He was left on his own....

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2023)

Seán Canney: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this very important matter. I was at a presentation by the CIF on housing the other night about the future forecast for the industry for Galway and the region. It is interesting that some of the things that came out of that are very similar to what we are speaking about here regarding, number one, planning, the planning process, and how long it takes....

Neutrality: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2023)

Seán Canney: I also welcome the opportunity to speak on this issue. People's minds have focused on this subject in recent weeks. When we talk about Irish neutrality, this is something that is part of our Constitution. As a State, we are a neutral country. In recent decades, major advances have been made in digitalisation and technology, etc., and it is important we re-examine where we are at in terms...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social Welfare Benefits (24 Oct 2023)

Seán Canney: I welcome the review and I hope it will be implemented. Perhaps the Minister will outline what she sees as a reasonable timeframe for each decision to be made. Something else that happens is that the appeals office states it is waiting for documentation to come from the Department. I and other Deputies, including Deputy Lowry, are working on cases in the process with long waiting times....

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social Welfare Benefits (24 Oct 2023)

Seán Canney: I ask the Minister for the processing times for carer's allowance applications, the sequential processing time for applications sent for review by applicants and the refusals that are under appeal by applicants. I am particularly interested in her response regarding the Department's frequent refusal of applications from individuals who serve as full-time carers for those struggling with...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social Welfare Benefits (24 Oct 2023)

Seán Canney: I thank the Minister. I accept that all of the budgetary measures have been put in place. I refer, however, to the time it takes for carer's allowance applications to be processed. This is a very acute issue for somebody who gives up work to care for someone at home. This might happen suddenly if there is no other choice, especially when a member of the family is experiencing depression...

Health Service Funding: Motion [Private Members] (24 Oct 2023)

Seán Canney: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this important subject. A huge debate is going on between the HSE and the Government as to whether there is enough money in the health budget to deal with services over the next 12 months. That is an unfortunate position in which to find ourselves at a time when the country has plenty of money, but I do not mean the Minister should go along and spend...

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Seán Canney: I welcome to the Public Gallery my friends, Bertie, Helen, Denise and David, who are visiting the Dáil today. The issue I will home in on first in reference to the Finance (No. 2) Bill is agriculture. The residential zoned land tax has been a source of much confusion, concern and anxiety for farmers and people who own land adjacent to towns in which the zoning has come into play....
