Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Jun 2024)

Catherine Connolly: One almost loses the will to live in regard to this. In 2014, the accident and emergency unit was deemed not fit for purpose. Ten years later, it is still not fit for purpose. The Minister tells me money is going into it. There are 62 people on trolleys. They should not be on trolleys. We live in a Republic. The Government has normalised a situation where patients are on trolleys. I...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Bodies (13 Jun 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister of State for the update. The programme for Government contains a promise and an objective that the Government would explore the range of possibilities with wool. In the 21st century and in the face of climate change, it is just extraordinary that wool is classified as a waste product is just extraordinary. I am trying to get to a point where there is a thriving...

As far as they could see, it was a good, sustainable policy and the Government was entitled to do that. What happened was that eventually the Court of Appeal, and earlier the High Court on...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Fisheries Protection (13 Jun 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I certainly understand the background to this and I am on record as saying the policy was very good and the intent was great. Unfortunately, we have been through what we have been through, and the Minister mentioned 2018. Of course, it is important to say that sprat is not subject to a quota.
