Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Feb 2025)

When will the Government get children the access to what they urgently require rather than blaming that judgment? This Friday, a group of 50 parents will hold a sleep-out outside the Department of...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (25 Feb 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: As the Taoiseach knows, section 39 workers do incredibly important work in home care, disability care, elder care and support services in our communities.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Feb 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: We need more Government accountability rather than creating new slots where only Government TDs can ask questions of the Government.

Cian O'Callaghan: I appreciate that the Taoiseach did not see the programme. If he had, he would have seen the family in question applied for medical priority and had been refused.

The Taoiseach dismissed a...
