Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Heritage Sites (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I suspect we will.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Planning Issues (21 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing this Topical Issue. I am disappointed that the Minister for housing, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, is not present. I wish the Ceann Comhairle, the staff, the gardaí and everyone else a happy, holy and safe Cásca, or Easter. It is very important that we reflect during the time of Holy Week, Easter Sunday and the risen Lord. I am raising the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Planning Issues (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: If he is before the courts, we had better not get into it as it is sub judice.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Planning Issues (21 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: It is. A statutory instrument can be signed in his case. I know of at least 12 others in south Tipperary. Some have removed their lovely log cabins – they were forced to remove them by the local planning authority. This is ridiculous in a housing crisis where people want to house themselves and are able to house themselves in a sensitive way that is aesthetically pleasing and does...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I also ask the Minister of State to ask the Minister to give more succinct responses that contain more relevant information rather than three quarters filler and one quarter relevant information. That is not the Minister of State's fault. I am not blaming him.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Niall Collins: That is not a problem. I will convey the Deputy's request for the details on the smaller buses and the additional stops to the Minister. I will absolutely convey the Deputy's disappointment with regard to Ros Muc. I will also make the Minister for Transport aware of the Deputy's desire that he develop a policy on the distances between bus stops. Other than that, I do not have anything...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I would probably agree with that. It can save on the hot air in here.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Niall Collins: I can tell the Deputy that the topic of bus stops is emotive. My own father lobbied me for a bus stop near our house for many years - approximately 15 years - and one arrived there last year but I had nothing to do with it landing there. I will convey all of that.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Heritage Sites (21 Mar 2024)

Heritage Sites

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Heritage Sites (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: The second Topical Issue is in the name of Deputy Durkan, who wishes to return to discuss the ongoing issue of the protection of Castletown House in Celbridge which is a very important issue for north Kildare and Meath.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Heritage Sites (21 Mar 2024)

Bernard Durkan: Indeed it is and I thank the Ceann Comhairle for affording me the opportunity to raise this particularly important issue for north Kildare and for the country. It is important for the protection of the national interests in the arts, the preservation of great houses, for the history of area and for the need to ensure that whatever happens around Castletown House has the full support of the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Heritage Sites (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I thank the Deputy and ask whether the Minister of State has a solution for us.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Heritage Sites (21 Mar 2024)

Niall Collins: I would like to thank the Deputy for his ongoing interest in Castletown House and estate. In recent months, the Deputy has made continuous representations through parliamentary questions, Topical Issues and Oireachtas committees with regard to Castletown House and estate. He and the other elected representatives of Kildare North are members of the Castletown House and estate...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I thank the Deputy.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We need a service that services the people. It is a kind of Irish joke that you would have a bus service that is happier with no passengers than with passengers and is still running at a cost to the State.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Is the Minister of State, Deputy Collins, going to sort out this problem for us in Connemara?

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Niall Collins: I thank Deputy Ó Cuív for raising this important topic which I am taking on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Ryan. At the outset, I would like to clarify that the Minister for Transport has responsibility for policy and overall funding regarding public transport but neither the Minister nor his officials are involved in the day-to-day management, operation or planning of public...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister of State for anticipating the second part of my question regarding Knock Airport. The proposal is quite simple. Let us start on a phased basis, say, for the months of June, July and August, that the bus would run down as far as Knock Airport. Telling me there is connecting buses is like telling me I can get a flight to a holiday destination and that I can get a cheaper...

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Jennifer Whitmore: I thank the Ministers for staying here for the entire debate. We often have Private Members' debates where Ministers are not in a position to stay for the whole thing. I was struck by a comment made by my colleague Deputy Gannon earlier. The Deputy asked about what would happen if he was sitting in the Minister's seat and the Minister as sitting in his during the current situation?...
