Chris Andrews: I congratulate the Minister of State and wish her well in her new role.  It is a really interesting one and I am sure she will be excellent in it.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Technological Universities (9 Feb 2023)

Chris Andrews: The Government is happy to increase the numbers of people living in inner-city communities.  For decades, Governments have been happy to increase the numbers of homeless services in inner-city communities; the number of homeless hostels; and the numbers of Housing First allocations in the flat complexes.  The Government is happy to increase the number of asylum seekers in the inner...

Emergency Housing Measures: Motion [Private Members] (9 Feb 2023)

Chris Andrews: I thank the Labour Party for bringing forward this motion. It is important for those living in the flats across inner city Dublin, for the people living in Nicholas Street, Ross Road and Bride Street. So many people have lost so much because of the overcrowded conditions in their homes. Flats are overcrowded and neglected by the Government. Two and three generations are living under one...

Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (9 Feb 2023)

Chris Andrews: I welcome the Bill. We have seen wide levels of engagement on this matter from stakeholders on the front line from rank and file gardaí, right up to the Garda Commissioner. I understand that all of them have welcomed the support for the use of body cameras. Deputy Costello referred to public consultation. Perhaps the Minister, Deputy Harris, will clarify whether that will be an...

Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: Special Educational Needs (9 Feb 2023)

Chris Andrews: 176. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she will intervene in the case of a person (details supplied) and ensure this child is allocated a place in a school with an ASD unit in September 2023. [6330/23]

Written Answers — Department of Health: Primary Care Centres (8 Feb 2023)

Chris Andrews: 337. To ask the Minister for Health the State services that have been removed from the Irishtown and Ringsend primary care centre over the past 24 months; the location of each of these services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5556/23]

Written Answers — Department of Health: Primary Care Centres (8 Feb 2023)

Chris Andrews: 338. To ask the Minister for Health the services currently available at the Irishtown and Ringsend primary care centre; if any of these services are scheduled to be removed from this primary care centre; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5557/23]

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Primary Care Centres (2 Feb 2023)

Chris Andrews: In recent weeks, I have met residents in Ringsend and Irishtown. They are greatly concerned that services are being moved from Ringsend and Irishtown primary care centre to the Meath Hospital. Residents are, quite frankly, dismayed by this decision. It will be a great imposition and have a major impact on them, and especially on older people. Can the Minister of State confirm that this...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Primary Care Centres (2 Feb 2023)

Chris Andrews: That sounds positive. Clearly, though, this information has not been communicated very well. Many people in Ringsend and Irishtown received these letters and they interpreted them to mean their service would be moved to the Meath Hospital primary care centre. My understanding, and the Minister of State might correct me, is that the files and records will be kept and stored in the Meath...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (2 Feb 2023)

Chris Andrews: Given all that Katie Taylor has done for Ireland, Irish sport and women in sport, it is important that the Government does everything it can to ensure she has her homecoming fight in Croke Park in front of 80,000 fans. Certainly if Croke Park is not possible, a bigger venue than the 3Arena would be ideal. Some 80,000 fans in Croke Park cheering on Katie Taylor would be a fitting...

Council Development Levies: Motion [Private Members] (1 Feb 2023)

Chris Andrews: I congratulate the Minister of State and wish him well in his new role. It will be an interesting journey for him, I am sure. I welcome the opportunity to speak on this important issue. When looking at inner-city communities in Dublin, the neglect is obvious. Communities have been neglected. Flat complexes have been neglected. I was in Macken Villas, which is a flat complex not too far...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (31 Jan 2023)

Chris Andrews: 68. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade his views on the new Israeli Government’s policy of expanding settlements in the occupied West Bank, using the means of ethnic cleansing; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2133/23]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (31 Jan 2023)

Chris Andrews: I congratulate the Tánaiste on his new position and wish him well in his new role. The new extreme right-wing Israeli Government has made the expansion of illegal settlements on Palestinian land a priority. This, in effect, amounts to ethnic cleansing of Palestinian communities. How does the Minister view the new Israeli Government's policy of expanding settlements in the occupied...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (31 Jan 2023)

Chris Andrews: The Minister acknowledged the violation of international law and said that Israel disregards international law and the views of the UN and EU. However, there are still no consequences for Israel stealing Palestinian land, for apartheid in Israel or for increasing rates of murder by the Israeli Defence Forces. The new fanatical, fascist, homophobic Minister of Finance in the Israel...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (31 Jan 2023)

Chris Andrews: The point I am getting at is that the EU, for example, took clear and decisive action against Iran over human rights abuses. I heard the Minister say earlier that he disagreed with the introduction of the death penalty in Iran. The Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, is looking for the reintroduction of the death penalty in Israel. When Ireland and the EU take action against...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (31 Jan 2023)

Chris Andrews: I congratulate the Minister of State on his new role. It is a very interesting brief and I wish him well in it. As Israel's fanatics take over its Government and shooting Palestinians becomes a national sport for the Israeli security forces, the Irish Government needs to go beyond expressing concern and condemnation. The apartheid Israeli Finance Minister recently said: "I may be a...

Chris Andrews: 304. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the amount of funding provided to an organisation (details supplied) for 2020, 2021 and 2022; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4498/23]

Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: Public Sector Staff (31 Jan 2023)

Parental Bereavement Leave (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (26 Jan 2023)

Chris Andrews: I want to thank Deputies O'Reilly and Cronin for bringing the Parental Bereavement Leave (Amendment) Bill 2021 forward. It could equally be called the compassion Bill because that is really what it is about. It is about showing compassion to people who find themselves in horrific circumstances, something that none of us would ever like to imagine facing. This will impact a very small...
