Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We need a service that services the people. It is a kind of Irish joke that you would have a bus service that is happier with no passengers than with passengers and is still running at a cost to the State.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister of State for anticipating the second part of my question regarding Knock Airport. The proposal is quite simple. Let us start on a phased basis, say, for the months of June, July and August, that the bus would run down as far as Knock Airport. Telling me there is connecting buses is like telling me I can get a flight to a holiday destination and that I can get a cheaper...

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Tánaiste knows my concern about the treatment of republican prisoners in Maghaberry Prison and it is a long-term concern.

During that period he has been scanned 18 times by an X-ray body scanner and he has had no...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: White Papers (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Tánaiste probably answered the first supplementary I had, which was whether the White Paper has been overtaken by events, in particular, the report of the Commission on the Defence Forces and if it has, whether there will be a new White Paper or whether we will just work on the commission. Also, will the consultative forum on international security policy require formal change of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: White Papers (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: In 2015, the then Government took the view that there was scope during the currency of the White Paper to further develop supports to existing personnel and veterans and this was to include training of serving personnel in order that they would have civilian qualifications once they left the Army and would be able to transfer into civil society and be able to get employment. What progress...

[13033/24]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Prison Service (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: My question relates to the cost of providing Army security at Portlaoise prison. This relates to the fact that when the Army was originally deployed to the prison, there was a large number of prisoners.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Prison Service (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I met the Tánaiste in December 2020, at which time there were 29 prisoners in the E block in Portlaoise prison. There are now fewer than ten. By mid-summer, the figure could be half that again. Does the Tánaiste not agree that is a radically different situation from the situation that caused the Army to be deployed to the prison in the first place? I welcome what he had to say...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Prison Service (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As I said, when I met the Tánaiste there were 29 prisoners on the E block. I predicted at that time that if no new prisoners came in, the numbers would drop to approximately ten by the end of 2023. That happened. To my knowledge, there are no prisoners in the E wing on remand, so there is nobody awaiting trial. There is nobody, to my knowledge, in the E wing who was out in bail. It...
