Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Community Development Projects (30 Jan 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. I do not think anybody will complain about any moneys for the local improvement scheme; obviously the more the merrier.

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Arising from my previous question, could we also look at alternatives to Ozempic and a more streamlined process for assessments so those with diabetes could make that change?

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (30 Jan 2024)

It was brought to my attention by a man who has been a diabetic for 26 years. Seven years ago he...
