European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk on this very important topic. It is one that everyone is talking about where I come from. The people I represent are very worried about opting in to this new migration pact. They are asking why Denmark is not opting in. We are an island nation and we do not have much natural resources. Working people working, including farmers and businesspeople,...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

James Browne: I move amendment No. 1: To delete all words after "Dáil Eireann" and substitute the following: "notes that: - migration is a European challenge that requires a European response, which should include comprehensive policies in relation to both the internal and external dimensions of migration, with full and due respect for fundamental rights under European Union (EU) and...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Michael Collins: I thank the Minister of State for being here. It is very disappointing, however, that a senior Minister is not present to discuss this issue. I mean no disrespect to the Minister of State, but surely an issue as important as this deserves having a senior Minister before us. When it comes to this issue of an asylum pact, it is a deal done by a dirty Government and it will not be forgotten...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Michael Healy-Rae: I thank the Chair and the Minister of State. I also thank the staff in Deputy Mattie McGrath's office who did a lot of work and research in putting forward this very important motion. I also want to address people who are critical of the Rural Independent Group and say we are trying to be inflammatory with this motion. They are wrong. What we are trying to do is hold the Government to...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Carol Nolan: I move: That Dáil Éireann: notes that: - Ireland requires a migration system that is not only well-managed and fair, but also stringent, efficient, and effectively enforced to safeguard our borders and our communities; - the Government imposing large-scale immigration on a local population without consultation is inappropriate, considering the complexity and potential...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Heritage Sites (1 May 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. I had a wonderful visit to Howth portal tomb recently. Also known as Aideen’s Grave, it dates from the Neolithic period and is a recorded monument situated in the Howth demesne townland. Within a peninsula of great historical, archaeological and amenity importance, it is an important landmark. As a recorded monument, Aideen’s Grave...

Cian O'Callaghan: I thank the Minister of State for his response. He was able to be brought on the visit by a local tour guide. However, if one happened to be a member of the local community who wanted to do similar with that tour guide, one would not be able to. A schoolchild from one of the local schools who was previously brought there on an organised visit by that group cannot do so any more. The...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Heritage Sites (1 May 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: As a recorded monument, Aideen's Grave is already afforded protection under the National Monuments Act. When the Historical and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2023 is commenced, I will give consideration to exercising powers under section 89(5), if necessary and appropriate, in this or any other instance. It is not something I can decide in advance.

Malcolm Noonan: I cannot give a specific timeline, but we are progressing it. I can try to revert to the Deputy with a timeline. Under section 89, the amendment would not alter the general position. The Minister has no role in imposing any public access to privately owned monuments. While dependent on the commencement of the Act and the new register that has to be established, the section will enable...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Primary Care Centres (1 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We come to Clifden near the end. It gets four lines. I ask the Minister of State to go back and inquire of the HSE, through the Department, whether it is intended to develop Clifden District Hospital as a full primary care centre. I want a full primary care centre plus things like X-ray facilities and so on because of the distance from Galway and because the hospital is there already and...

An objective of the programme for Government is to deliver increased levels of integrated healthcare, with service delivery reoriented towards general practice, primary care and community-based services to enable a home first approach in line with the Sláintecare goal of receiving the right care in the right place at the right time. ...

Colm Burke: I will come back to the Deputy. I wanted to say that as someone coming from a legal background I understand this, but I accept 14 years is a long timeframe and it should not take that long. Work continues on the provision of health centres in the Galway region. The primary care in Moycullen opened in April 2023. Proposed-----
