- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (16 Apr 2024)
Seán Haughey: This was the first time a Taoiseach attended the Munich Security Conference. It raised some eyebrows but it was right for Ireland to be part of the debate on European foreign and security policy issues at this dangerous time. I refer in particular to the illegal invasion by Russia of Ukraine, the terrible events taking place in Gaza and the escalating tensions in the wider Middle East....
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (16 Apr 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: We are dealing with the fact the western world has questions not only about security but also credibility. We know there have been absolute failings if we are speaking about the US, Germany, the British and many countries throughout the EU. We know that what Benjamin Netanyahu is involved in is absolute genocidal slaughter. We know there are absolute fears about an escalation and the...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (16 Apr 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: There will be another national demonstration this Saturday in support of the people of Gaza and Palestine. The very simple demand will be for sanctions on Israel now. The simple inescapable fact is that the genocide that Israel is inflicting on Gaza and the horrors that have been inflicted on its people could not happen if Israel did not get EU favoured trade status, weapons from Germany,...

Mick Barry: We are told that we are living in the bright, shiny Ireland of the 2020s. Turn on many a tap in Cork city today and you might think that you had been transported back to the 1920s. Why? It is because of what is coming out of those taps. It is brown water, orange water, dirty and discoloured with sediment from the inside of water pipes that are more than 100 years old in some cases. I...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I would also offer to Deputy Barry that manganese seems to be an issue with water discolouration. Louth County Council and Irish Water have done much work on pilot schemes. Some of my follow-up questions for Uisce Éireann relate specifically to that. House prices and rents are at record highs. There is a rising market. Analysts are now saying that the rate of house price...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Apr 2024)
Christopher O'Sullivan: When we talk about the economy, we have to talk about the value of big sporting occasions and events to the Irish economy, especially in the regional and peripheral areas. It was sad to learn over the past couple of days that Ireland's bid to host the World Rally Championship is in jeopardy. Is there anything the Taoiseach can do in his high office to intervene and try to save this? I...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Apr 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: The National Youth Council of Ireland, NYCI ,report suggests that half of young people are very unhappy with their housing situation and more than half feel their mental health is seriously being affected by this issue. They have good reason to feel that way. I will give two examples. This week, I met a family who are being evicted. They are a working family who got a notice to quit on...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Apr 2024)
Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach told his Ard-Fheis that he would move mountains to get the children out of the box room and into a home of their own. We know what the consequences for the children are of being in the box room. The NYCI report talks about over half of young people having low mental well-being, precisely because they are stuck in the box room with no prospect of having a home or space to...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Apr 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: One of the biggest economic and social scandals this country has seen is the defective blocks scandal. Last night, hundreds of homeowners in Mayo gathered at the Great National Hotel in Ballina to tell us how the defective blocks scheme is not working for them. The anguish of trying to access this scheme that is clearly not fit for purpose was palpable. The buck now stops with the...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Apr 2024)
Simon Harris: I thank the Deputies for the wide range of issues. First, I assure Deputy Barry that the Tánaiste is anything but a quiet man. I have no doubt but that he will give the issue of the water supply and what the Deputy states is a lack of public trust in the water supply his absolute attention. I certainly will follow the matter up with both Uisce Éireann and the Minister for...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Apr 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I was not aware until a bus driver who works for Dublin Bus contacted me that a major transport conference is taking place in Dublin this week. It is the Transport Research Arena conference, which I believe the Minister for Transport, Deputy Ryan, and the Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, are at to discuss sustainable transport. The driver asked me why there are no bus drivers at the...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Apr 2024)
Paul Murphy: There is a growing movement around the world, including on this island, to defend the rights of nature. Increasingly, people understand that without the protection of the rights of nature, there cannot be a human right to a healthy environment. Human rights and the rights of nature go hand in hand. On Thursday, campaigners for the rights of nature will gather at 11 a.m. outside the...

Catherine Connolly: The Taoiseach has six minutes.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Apr 2024)
Simon Harris: I will do my very best. I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I am learning that these questions have covered a wider area than that covered by the tabled questions, which concern when we will hold the next meeting of the Cabinet committee. It will be scheduled shortly. I thank Deputy O'Sullivan for his kind wishes. I look forward to working with him. I thank him also for highlighting...

Darren O'Rourke: Onshore.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Apr 2024)
Simon Harris: Onshore; my apologies. I will get the Deputy an update on the wind guidelines. I am aware that the Attorney General's advice was being sought. I will ask when we should expect the outcome in that regard and revert to the Deputy directly. I learned a long time ago that it is easier to offer Deputy Ó Murchú a meeting than not do so, so I advise Uisce Éireann to follow the...
