- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Passport Services (22 Mar 2022)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Minister of State for reading out the reply. I appreciate that she is here, but the reply is an insult. We got a bunch of statistics. The passport service has 900 staff, has received €10 million in extra funding and it is going to be the devil and all. I expect the other Deputies in the Chamber and you, a Cheann Comhairle, would agree that the lived experience of...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Passport Services (22 Mar 2022)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, for taking the time this evening. This has no bearing on the Minister of State whatsoever, but I want to point out my disappointment that we could not wheel out any one of the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, the Minister, Deputy Ryan, the Minister of State, Deputy Byrne, or the Minister, Deputy Coveney, who would have been appropriate to this...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Passport Services (22 Mar 2022)
Marc MacSharry: In fairness, they were. This is, again, no reflection on the Minister of State, Deputy Butler. I am pleased she is here. The Departments were in contact. They asked me which Department and I helped in their interpretation and said any of the four I have indicated. Funnily enough, and call me old fashioned, I did not mention the Department of Health and specifically did not mention mental...

Marc MacSharry: 1087. To ask the Minister for Health if he will consider extending the €1,000 Covid bonus payment to nurses, health and social care workers in the Intellectual Disability Service that worked in the community during the height of Covid and were required to work long shifts and were exposed to the same daily risk as hospital staff, and if not, the reason therefor; and if he will make a...
- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (9 Mar 2022)
Marc MacSharry: With regard to the financial resolution before us today, I welcome the Government's intervention in terms of the reductions for excise duty on fuel. Will the Taoiseach reconsider them in the context of home heating oil? The rationale is lost on me. Is it the intention of Government that we would get into the car and put on the heating rather than heat our homes in the few short months that...
- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Mar 2022)
Marc MacSharry: As mentioned last week, the programme for Government focuses on how we can improve services and be more responsive to citizens. As the Taoiseach may be aware, the turnaround time for applications and renewals for passports at the moment is totally unacceptable. When I came into the Oireachtas 20 years ago, we had a drop box in Leinster House that empowered Deputies and Senators to...

- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Mar 2022)
Marc MacSharry: Do not give me the waffle; I have been around for long enough. It is throwing bad money after bad money for a service that is going down.

Marc MacSharry: It was the Taoiseach who took out the drop box too, which was a typical civil servant-led move.
