Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Is the Minister of State, Deputy Collins, going to sort out this problem for us in Connemara?

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Niall Collins: I thank Deputy Ó Cuív for raising this important topic which I am taking on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Ryan. At the outset, I would like to clarify that the Minister for Transport has responsibility for policy and overall funding regarding public transport but neither the Minister nor his officials are involved in the day-to-day management, operation or planning of public...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister of State for anticipating the second part of my question regarding Knock Airport. The proposal is quite simple. Let us start on a phased basis, say, for the months of June, July and August, that the bus would run down as far as Knock Airport. Telling me there is connecting buses is like telling me I can get a flight to a holiday destination and that I can get a cheaper...

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Jennifer Whitmore: I thank the Ministers for staying here for the entire debate. We often have Private Members' debates where Ministers are not in a position to stay for the whole thing. I was struck by a comment made by my colleague Deputy Gannon earlier. The Deputy asked about what would happen if he was sitting in the Minister's seat and the Minister as sitting in his during the current situation?...

Deputy Brian Stanley: To discuss the need for funding for youth work and youth projects in Laois and Offaly. Deputy Michael McNamara: To...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for choosing this matter and the Minister of State for coming in to deal with it. Under Connecting Ireland, two bus services were set up in Connemara. One goes from An Cheathrú Rua up through Screebe, Maam Cross, Cornamona, Clonbur, Ballinrobe to Claremorris. The other goes from An Cheathrú Rua to Screebe, but it then turns west and goes to Carna, An...

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Joan Collins: On a point of order, it is inappropriate for certain people to say that elected representatives here hate the Irish people. That was totally out of order and should have been slapped down immediately. I would never say that to anybody, even if I disagreed with his or her politics.

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Thank you. I see that as a political charge. It was a global comment. I do not think it can be taken as applying to any individual as such.

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Joan Collins: It was said that the loony left hates the Irish people. I think that sort of language should be shot down immediately. Sorry, I am not telling the Ceann Comhairle how to do his job but I just think it is-----

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I would much prefer that we had a more restrained debate on these matters and did not enter into that sort of recriminatory-----

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Joan Collins: They are dog whistles.

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: If somebody has a complaint to make, I will receive that complaint and deal with it.

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: I agree with the point made that there is an untold story in Ireland that is not getting the attention it deserves, which is the quiet work being done throughout the country by people in communities who are supporting people seeking international protection. That can be seen in communities throughout Ireland. It does not get the attention others get but it is happening throughout our...

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Joan Collins: I thank the Social Democrats for bringing this motion to the House. It is a worthy motion and worthy of good debate. We are watching the Government stand over a rapidly worsening crisis of accommodation for international protection applicants and Irish people. Time and again, the Government has missed the targets it has set for itself. It has become a national disgrace. We are failing...

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: There was. It was all there.

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Joan Collins: At that time, there were not proper facilities in place. The camp on Mount Street existed because of the failure of the State to provide appropriate accommodation and the camp at Crooksling has quickly become another failure of the State to provide appropriate accommodation. Tents are not appropriate accommodation and the Minister knows that. I know he wants to try to resolve it but we...
