Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Diagnoses (17 Apr 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: At the outset I want to acknowledge and congratulate the amazing team at FASD Ireland on its fantastic work and for reaching the recent milestone of the first anniversary of the FASD hub national helpline, which allowed it to provide support to more than 800 people living with foetal alcohol spectrum disorder, their families, and professionals across the State. I also acknowledge the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Schemes (17 Apr 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: There are specific questions here particularly in regard to that timeframe. That is a valid question to ask and certainly we can ask the Department to look at that. In regard to the second question, I cannot give the answer to it here, so again I will ask the Department to look at that, about challenging those decisions, if that is okay. Fingal County Council has been quite progressive....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (17 Apr 2024)

Marian Harkin: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle and the Minister of State. This is perhaps the fifth or sixth occasion I have raised this issue. To build a new Garda station in Sligo is an urgent matter. Every couple of months a colleague of mine, Councillor Marie Casserly, contacts me to keep it on the agenda because this is a long saga. We need to get it sorted. I have raised it so many times with...

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...

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 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...
