Malcolm Noonan: That was a disingenuous comment by Deputy Guirke. I will follow this up with the National Monuments Service, liaise with the OPW on this matter and revert to the Deputy in due course.

Catherine Murphy: I want to raise the issue of summer provision for children with special educational needs. It is not an added extra but in some cases that is exactly how it is being treated. A variety of people from my own constituency have contacted me with regard to this, and I expect it mirrors other areas, where sanction was sought from the Department of Education but that sanction was not given.

Micheál Martin: Which sanction?

Catherine Murphy: Sanction was sought from the from the Department of Education for summer provision for special educational needs. This goes back to court cases where parents took the State to court for appropriate education. Where there is July provision for some weeks each year, some people are getting it for their children and some people are not. There has to be a consistency in this but there...

Micheál Martin: My understanding is that about €40 million was spent on the summer provision scheme last year.

Micheál Martin: The Minister has added further incentives. I will ask the Minister for Education to come back on this issue to the Deputy but my understanding is that the Minister has recently brought forward proposals for this summer, again with more incentives to try to encourage the provision of summer schools and participation in summer schools.
- Ceisteanna Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (9 May 2024)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: It is a requirement, I think, that the schools themselves be willing to participate.

Catherine Murphy: That is right.
- Ceisteanna Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (9 May 2024)
Micheál Martin: Yes. There may be potential financial incentives to facilitate that. I will ask the Minister to communicate with the Deputy.

Pa Daly: Ba mhaith liom ceist a chur ort maidir le Teach Siamsa na Carraige in iarthar Chiarraí. Tá a fhios againn go bhfuil deacrachtaí airgeadais i Siamsa Tíre agus bhí bord Shiamsa Tíre chun é a dhíol. Teastaíonn ón bpobal i gCorca Dhuibhne é a choimeád i seilbh an phobail agus gan é dhíol. Is achmhainn thábhachtach...

Micheál Martin: Go raibh maith ag an Teachta as ucht an cheist thábhachtach seo a ardú. Beidh mé ag caint le hAire na Gaeltachta, Thomas Byrne, go háirithe i gcomhthéacs na ceiste seo. Admhaím gur áis thábhachtach é seo do mhuintír Chorca Dhuibhne. Níl cúlra an scéil agam ina iomláine ach déanfaidh mé an cheist a fhiosrú....

Mick Barry: The Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking Bill) 2023 focuses on trafficking for sexual exploitation. There is still a need for dedicated legislation to cover trafficking for labour exploitation. I will give a recent example. I have seen correspondence between the International Transport Workers' Federation and the Garda relating to a case where fishers from Ghana were issued...

Micheál Martin: A situation containing any exploitation of workers, especially international workers who are lured into particular jurisdictions and then are not given any rights and exploited in terms of their labour, is absolutely unacceptable. I will refer this to the Minister for Justice in terms of the legislation and the timeline for that. We will perhaps get the background to the wider story in...
