Road Network

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Network (7 Mar 2024)

Verona Murphy: I want to talk about the condition of the 3,522 km of non-national roads in County Wexford. I will give some background. We have the tenth greatest length of non-national roads in the country, just after counties Cork, Clare, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Limerick, Mayo, Roscommon and Tipperary. The non-national roads network is broken down into four separate categories: regional roads; local...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Post Office Closures (7 Mar 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the Minister of State for his answer and the clarity concerning the ability, or otherwise, of the Minister to engage in this matter. I strongly feel, however, that we do need to find a way to apply a wider lens in this context. Let us leave to one side the individual case of this post office. The provision of services within communities, and especially in Gaeltacht communities,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Post Office Closures (7 Mar 2024)

Neale Richmond: Go raibh maith agat. I do not disagree with anything the Deputy has said. The case from the perspective of sustainability for local businesses and the environment and for the protection, preservation and promotion of our national language is well made and completely understood by me and, indeed, by the Minister, Deputy Ryan. The process is in play. An Post is going to try to do everything...

Middle East

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Robert Troy: I thank the Minister of State for coming in this evening. How can we justify our allies' role in the genocide happening in Gaza? Can we stand by and say nothing? The simple answer is that we cannot. I refer to the line used by our allies, namely, that Hamas carried out its attack first. This was an attack that this Parliament was united in condemning, but an attack the UN Secretary...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Neale Richmond: I thank Deputy Troy sincerely for raising this matter. He has particular insight and knowledge that not everyone in this House has concerning the importance of trade missions and, indeed, the importance of speaking truth to good friends. Everyone in this House knows the scale of devastation we are witnessing in Gaza. After more than 150 days of brutal conflict, some 5% of the population...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Fire Service (7 Mar 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: I reiterate the steps my Department has already taken to incrementally increase the retirement age for retained firefighters from 55 to 60. I can also reconfirm that the Minister intends to engage with the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform to ensure that the mandatory retirement age for retained firefighters is consistent with that of other...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Post Office Closures (7 Mar 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Chaitheamar roinnt uaireanta sa Dáil an tseachtain seo ag déanamh díospóireachta ar úsáid na Gaeilge agus ar an gcineál infheistíochta a theastaíonn san oideachas, sa tithíocht agus i gcúrsaí mar sin chun an teanga, atá i ngéarchéim thromchúiseach, a chosaint agus a athbheochan. Tá ár gceantair...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Post Office Closures (7 Mar 2024)

Neale Richmond: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Ó Cathasaigh. Tá brón orm ach freagróidh mé as Béarla. I appreciate the Deputy raising this issue. I welcome the opportunity to outline the position in respect of it on behalf of the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications. An Post is a commercial State company with a mandate to act commercially and,...

Ábhair Shaincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Matters (7 Mar 2024)

Fire Service

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Fire Service (7 Mar 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I am dealing with the case of John Molloy, retained fire station officer in Dunleer fire station. The station has a crew of five. That is the minimum for a crew. I do not necessarily have to go into the great and necessary work that is carried out by the fire brigade. We know that at times they have to deal with dreadful circumstances as a result of fires, road traffic accidents and all...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Fire Service (7 Mar 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. The provision of a fire service in its functional area, including the establishment and maintenance of a fire brigade, the assessment of fire cover needs and the provision of fire station premises is a statutory function of individual fire authorities under the Fire Services Act 1981. My Department supports fire authorities through setting general...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Fire Service (7 Mar 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I will respond to what the Minister of State said in reverse. He said "it is essential that the retirement age reflects the requirement that firefighters should be capable of satisfactorily meeting the physically demanding nature of the role". 5 o’clock Mr. Molloy made the point to me that he has no issue with regard to that or any of the fitness tests, so that is out of the...
