Deputy Brian Stanley - To discuss the low level of Laois and Offaly Education and Training Board funding for youth services in...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Schemes (17 Apr 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister of State for being here for this matter. I wish to raise two specific issues with him. In the interest of brevity and clarity, because I tabled a parliamentary question on this very recently, I know exactly how many homes are purchased, how many are in train to purchase and exactly what is going on formally. I wish to bring to his attention what is actually happening...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Schemes (17 Apr 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: I will read the script and then come back with the specifics. I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. Under Housing for All, there is provision for 200 social housing acquisitions each year. However, with increased pressures on housing and the exit of landlords from the market, the Minister, Deputy O’Brien, reinstated delegated sanction to local authorities in April 2022 to...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Schemes (17 Apr 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I genuinely thank the Minister of State for that, but there is a systemic issue here. I can give him the list and the names right now, and that is fine. Will the Minister of State specifically address the letter that has been issued informing the tenant she must wait until she is eight weeks out? In his response the Minister of State stated "Local authorities take appropriate steps to...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Customs and Excise (16 Apr 2024)
Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Senator Pippa Hackett): I thank Deputy Stanton for the opportunity to discuss the border control post designation at the Port of Cork. I am taking this on behalf of my ministerial colleague, the Minister, Deputy McConalogue. Currently, Cork Port is a designated border control post for container shipments of wood...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Customs and Excise (16 Apr 2024)
David Stanton: I thank the Minister of State for a very positive response. I welcome the fact that the derogation has been granted temporarily in recent days for the import of melons, which I also mentioned in my presentation earlier. I also welcome the fact that it remains under consideration. I urge the Minister of State to deepen that consideration and make it viable. I understand that the cost of...

Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Senator Pippa Hackett): I thank the Deputy for those comments. I accept what he is saying. It is not a terribly large cost if it is €3.5 million. Again, however, that business case has been submitted. I am not sure of the status of that. I can certainly bring that back to the Minister, Deputy McConalogue. ...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Museum Projects (16 Apr 2024)
Pat Buckley: It is interesting. Listening to the first half of the Minister of State's response, I thought it was brilliant that she outlined the whole history of the LÉ Eithne for me. We will lose all of that. I am disappointed by the fact that the contracts have been signed, but contracts can be pulled. I will go to both Ministers who are responsible because, as I said, the amount of history...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Museum Projects (16 Apr 2024)
Mary Butler: To reiterate, a number of organisations, including Dublin Port and the local authorities in Cork and Limerick indicated their interest in taking the LÉ Eithne as a museum piece or a tourist attraction, following her decommissioning in 2022. However, despite extensive engagements and lengthy discussions and inspections all these parties withdrew. Dublin Port commissioned two reports in...

David Stanton: I thank the office of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for selecting this Topical Issue and the Minister of State for being here this evening. The Port of Cork plays a key strategic role in the economic life and development of the south and south-west regions. It is recognised as a port of national significance, tier 1. It is the Government's position that these ports are considered to be of...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Projects (16 Apr 2024)
Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I thank the Minister of State. It is a substantial scheme; there is no question about that. The Minister of State can imagine the situation for a resident who, fundamentally, just wanted footpaths and to be able to walk to the shops and to Togher or Ballyphehane. They would have liked progress to be made an awful lot more quickly. As good as the scheme may eventually be, this still...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Projects (16 Apr 2024)
Mary Butler: I think the rest of this response will answer some of the Deputy's questions. I thank him for his views on this matter, which is obviously a very important issue to the residents of Lehenaghmore Road and the wider community. The safety of road users, especially vulnerable road users such as cyclists and pedestrians, is paramount to the Department of the Minister, Deputy Ryan. The...
