Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (26 Sep 2024)

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I have so many families around the county of Carlow whose children were refused places on the local school bus. For example, Bus Éireann has a private operator in Rathvilly, which is a small rural part of Carlow, but one of the buses is a 24-seater. I have asked for a bigger bus, a 52-seater, which would sort out a huge issue in that area. This bus goes from Rathvilly to Tullow...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Further and Higher Education (26 Sep 2024)

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I was at the ploughing championships when the announcement was made and a large number of families and students came to ask about this course. As the Minister said, many students left the country to study veterinary but now that we have this course, there are extra places in the south east, and I am only focusing on the south east.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Further and Higher Education (26 Sep 2024)

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I thank the Minister. As he said, I was at the ploughing and was very honoured to be there when he announced this with our higher education Minister. Giving €25 million from his own budget was so important. Everybody was working together. I know Kildalton College well. My son studied horticulture there for over three years but he is now a garda. Anyway, he loved that too. It is...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (26 Sep 2024)

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: We have seen a decline in the number of gardaí in County Carlow. A few weeks ago Tullow daycare centre, which is a daycare centre for elderly people where 50 people go each day, had a break-in and yesterday there was a second break-in when the bus was stolen from this daycare centre. Crime has increased and there is no point in saying differently. We are short of gardaí. I met...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (26 Sep 2024)

We had one of the highest growth rates in the most recent census. We do not have enough gardaí. We do not have enough community gardaí on the ground. We have seen an increase in burglaries. I spoke about one in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Drug Dealing (26 Sep 2024)

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I agree with the previous speakers. I see the scourge of drugs everywhere. It is about communities. Families come into my clinics heartbroken. Families need to borrow money to pay back the bills for their children who are taking drugs, which is unacceptable. We need to do campaigns and get some sort of help for these families and for the children or people who are taking the drugs. It...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: When we see the urgency of this Bill, that is probably the most important issue. We see that out of 14 EU countries with leave information readily available, 11 provide this kind of leave. In the majority of cases, it is paid leave. The UK also provides this paid parental bereavement leave. That is so important. It is important to ask about the employer and the payment and the...
