Simon Harris: I will not comment on any individual protest but, more broadly, our universities should reflect on links and divestment. I note that a number of them are now doing so, which is important. I do not buy into the idea that this House or this Government has done nothing on the Palestinian situation. I do not believe the Palestinian Authority, and certainly not the Israeli Government, think...

Mary Lou McDonald: We are now five months into 2024 and the health service still has not published its staffing plan for the year. The Secretary General of the Department of Health confirmed this morning that the moratorium or embargo is still in place and that the strategy is at a political level waiting on a decision from Government. I have lost count of the number of bright, talented young health and...

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy McDonald. As I have said in exchanges with her in the House before, the health service is funded to grow the number of staff this year and to hire more nurses and doctors. Yes, it has to live within its overall workforce ceilings. Of course, it does. All public agencies are meant to. However, funding has been provided for 2,200 new people to work in the public health...

Simon Harris: Just to be very clear, what we did on Mount Street had a very positive impact. A total of 290 more people got accommodation and access to sanitation and we managed to avert a public health near-emergency. I am very pleased with that multi-agency response. I continue to believe it was the right action to take. I became Taoiseach four weeks ago. I took charge of this situation. There...

Simon Harris: It is absolutely true that a situation has now arisen in respect of the Grand Canal. Last week in this House, I stood here and told the Deputy we had to deal with Mount Street. I am telling him now that we will deal with the Grand Canal. Action will be taken. I accept Deputy Bacik's bona fides on this matter, knowing it is in her constituency as well. I need to say this: we have to...

Simon Harris: -----where we provide more accommodation and that accommodation will fill up. We also need to be very honest about this. We now have some parties in this House talking about not being in favour of open borders. Deputy McDonald used to say there was no such thing as an open borders policy. I would like her to identify for me which open border on the island of Ireland she would like to now...
