Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Housing Provision (5 Apr 2022)

Seán Kyne: I thank the Minister of State for his response. Certainly, the delivery of the housing delivery action plans by the summer is very important. The Minister of State spoke about the engagement he, his officials and, I am sure, the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, have had with officials in Galway city and county councils. I know from my engagement with them that there are plans, whether it...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Mar 2022)

Seán Kyne: I believe the Deputy Leader attended the event earlier in Buswells Hotel for the cancer centre plans for the west and the north west for Saolta Hospital Group.

Cancer treatment and proper treatment...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Neurological Services, Care and Capacity: Neurological Alliance of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Seán Kyne: Budget 2022 provides for an additional 16 clinical nurse specialists and advanced nurse practitioners. I know the campaign is for 100 additional specialists. Three additional specialists have come to Galway, which is certainly welcome, but up to nine of them are needed in the general Galway area. Budget and funding aside, are there sufficient numbers of graduates who would be in a position...

That has to be acknowledged. Ms Rogers mentioned that outpatient lists are now...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: An tAire Dlí agus Cirt: Plé. (30 Mar 2022)

Seán Kyne: Tá sé dearfach go bhfuil na huimhreacha níos airde ó thaobh na n-iarratasóirí de ach is é an rud is tábhachtaí ná an mbeidh céatadán de ghardaí nua atá inniúil sa Ghaeilge ann ag deireadh an phróisis a dtagann leis an 20% sin. Is é sin an cheist is tábhachtaí. Ba cheart go mbeidh próiseas...

Seanad: Impact on Farming Sector Arising from the Situation in Ukraine: Statements (29 Mar 2022)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Minister to the Chamber to discuss this important area. Hindsight is wonderful and this time last year no one predicted a war in Ukraine and the situation we are in. It has happened, despite the best intentions of the vast majority of decent people across the world. As a result there has been an impact on lives and livelihoods and mass migration from Ukraine. The impact this...

The supports that have been put in place will make a difference and all we can...
