Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (2 May 2024)

Gary Gannon: Yes, through the Chair. When is this shambolic Government going to get its act together and get a proper plan in place for migration because it is causing chaos for communities and provoking international incidents. Get it together.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (2 May 2024)

Micheál Martin: I was amused by the Deputy's commentary. I apologise if he found that a bit disconcerting. You could not make it up really; a left-wing Deputy like himself invoking the right-wing Tory press to attack the Irish Government and the Deputy is taking The Daily Telegraph seriously. There are local elections today in Britain. The Deputy talks about a PR boom-----

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (2 May 2024)

Micheál Martin: We will see by the end of the night whether it has been a PR boon or not. There is no one at any border. There are no checkpoints at the Border. I remember when I met a former British Prime Minister in my time as Taoiseach. There were blazing headlines across the British press, saying the frigates are going to France. Does anyone remember that headline? Can the Deputies not stand back...

Mick Barry: Yesterday, Mr. Fintan Hourihan, chief executive of the Irish Dental Association told the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health that he found it profoundly worrying that a decision was made to cancel the building of a new dental school and dental hospital in Cork.

Micheál Martin: I am familiar with the issue. A number of bodies are involved in this. The Deputy mentioned the HSE and CUH. University College Cork has priorities in respect of a range of capital investments, involving the Cork University Business School, CUBS, building, the Tyndall National Institute and others, including the dental school. It is regrettable that given the prioritisation of the dental...

Verona Murphy: This is about the fifth time I have brought this issue up. I am back to the passport and ID issue of members of the Garda identifying that they sign the passport application. I am back to the parent of a first-time applicant. The Passport Office is unable to get in touch with the garda who signed the application. The office has contacted the same Garda station four times. Surely at this...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 May 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: The time is up. Can I ask that the questions and responses be directed through the Chair? This across-the-Chamber argy-bargy is doing nothing for anything.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 May 2024)

Carol Nolan: In the past week, the perception of the EU just transition fund and its capacity to act as a catalyst for economic revival in County Offaly suffered a fatal blow. Of the €18 million available in the latest round, Offaly, the county that without doubt has been hit the hardest and which has borne the brunt of job losses, at 53% of the job losses, got the paltry sum of €500,000...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 May 2024)

Micheál Martin: I am not quite clear as to the Deputy's doubts about the just transition programme but it is an important programme. It is an essential programme to deal with what has been a decarbonisation agenda across the country but obviously with a particular focus on the midlands and Offaly, which have been at the frontier of transformation in terms of energy generation and the transformation of Bord...
