Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Aindrias Moynihan for raising this important matter and keeping in contact with my office about it. This has been a stressful and worrying time for students and staff in the Munster Technological University campuses in Cork. I thank all of the staff in MTU for the incredible and tireless work they have put in over the past ten days in very difficult circumstances. We need to...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Third Level Fees (18 Oct 2022)

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Aindrias Moynihan for raising this issue. To be honest about this issue, and it is important to be so, the Government's decision in the budget we announced links the €1,000 reduction to the €3,000 fee.

Other Questions: Hospital Waiting Lists (1 Dec 2016)

Simon Harris: I propose to take Questions Nos. 10 and 12 together. I thank Deputy Moynihan for tabling that important question. Similar to Deputy Lahart's question, I would begin by pointing out that we have seen a significant level of underinvestment, perhaps due to the difficult challenging economic years, in addressing waiting lists. There is a direct correlation between under-investing in waiting...

Other Questions: Hospital Waiting Lists (1 Dec 2016)

Simon Harris: ...also has a dedicated scheduled care manager who co-ordinates and manages all waiting lists across the hospital group in co-ordination with hospital managers. I take seriously the points Deputy Aindrias Moynihan has raised. I have already been in Cork University Hospital but I specifically want to visit it with a focus on its maternity and gynaecological services, and I will do that in...
