Paul Murphy: Yes, like Fianna Fáil. You have a lot of dissidents in your party.

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Please, Members. A mistake was made in the order, which put the Regional Group ahead of Deputy Boyd Barrett's party which should not have happened and it will be corrected. I Call Deputy Shanahan now, please.

Matt Shanahan: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCeann Comhairle. Similar to previous Fianna Fáil Cork leader, senior hurling politics is a game the Tánaiste plays well. First the ball, but if unsuccessful then the player. This is not about me but it is about a critical life-saving service for 600,000 people with whom the Government is playing politics. Consider for instance that having...

Matt Shanahan: There you go again, Tánaiste.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Apr 2024)
Micheál Martin: No I am not. Deputy Shanahan seems obsessed with senior hurling and Cork. We will park that for a moment. Since this Government came into office, there has been a very focused prioritisation and commitment to the south east on a whole range of investments. At different times when I have engaged with the Deputy, he has acknowledged that, particularly with regard to health. Then, every...

Micheál Martin: When I mentioned October, it was in reference to the task force that was put together, came together and developed a cross-sectoral plan. That was what I referenced. The Deputy keeps saying nothing is being done-----

Micheál Martin: -----and just ignores what has been done. He creates the scenario, for a political reason that suits him, that the Government does not value apprenticeships. That is nonsense. Of course the Government values apprenticeships. Come on, cop on with the nonsense. That kind of language is grand for politics and the back and forth, but it does not make any real sense.

Micheál Martin: We want to grow craft apprenticeships and construction. We have expanded in that regard. There are now 17 programmes across the broad categories of construction, including electrical engineering, which are relevant to the construction sector. We have actually expanded. That includes the plumbing, electrical, geo drilling and scaffolding programmes and so forth. The numbers who...

Holly Cairns: Housing is often discussed in the Chamber but, too often, we do not discuss the reality of it and the real-life impact this crisis has on people's lives. The Irish Examiner spoke with some of these people this week. Kelly-Anne Healy is aged 37 and lives at home with her parents in Blackpool, Cork. She has worked since she was a teenager and always thought if she worked hard enough she...

Micheál Martin: I will make the point, and I have said it repeatedly in the House, that housing is the single most urgent and important social issue facing our people at this moment in time. Access to housing is fundamental to our security, social cohesion, opportunity for people and progress as a nation. There is not a family in the country untouched by the crisis. I respectfully suggest the Deputy does...

Holly Cairns: I do not know whether the Tánaiste thinks people believe him when he comes to the House and says we do not put forward any solutions. In the past number of weeks alone, my colleague, Deputy O'Callaghan, has put forward 255 amendments to the planning Bill but the Government has just routinely voted them down. One of them was around zoning land for affordable housing. It was rejected....
