Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Human Trafficking (5 Nov 2019)

Declan Breathnach: The shocking discovery of 39 bodies in a truck recently is testament to the need to look at what measures Ireland will implement to take the scourge of human trafficking more seriously. The treatment of human trafficking victims in Ireland falls well short of humanitarian protection and the measures described in the legal instruments of the UN, the EU and the Council of Europe. I expect the...

Written Answers — Department of Health: General Practitioner Services Provision (5 Nov 2019)

Declan Breathnach: 459. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to a shortage of general practitioner availability in mid-County Louth; when a review of the contractual terms for the GMS and other publicly funded general practitioner services will be complete; the measures which will be put in place to attract general practitioners to rural areas; and if he will make a statement on the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Issues Affecting the Quality of Water: Discussion (5 Nov 2019)

Declan Breathnach: I represent the constituency of Louth. I welcome the comments of the officials and I am conscious of the role of the EPA. I am tempted to say one does not miss the water until the well runs dry. I am a former schoolteacher and recall a child being asked to make a sentence using the word "uisce" and coming up with "Uisce inár saol: cosanta" or, in English, "Water in our environment:...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Issues Affecting the Quality of Water: Discussion (5 Nov 2019)

Declan Breathnach: We should be looking for a solution rather than seeking a prosecution. Senator Boyhan outlined that the EPA has legal power but it needs to be strengthened. Has the EPA reviewed all of the audits across the country, or will it do so? It is clear that in the case of Leixlip, but also that of County Louth, the actions recommended, not just in one report but two, have not been implemented....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Issues Affecting the Quality of Water: Discussion (5 Nov 2019)

Declan Breathnach: I compliment the various organisations, including Irish Water and the Department, for their proactivity on many problems. Staleen in my constituency is a classic example. There were major problems last year. We eventually got to a solution. While today's debate centres on Leixlip, it is symptomatic of other micro-problems across the country. I will start with the issue of turbidity....

Written Answers — Department of Health: Medicinal Products Reimbursement (24 Oct 2019)

Declan Breathnach: 197. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to an inequitable situation which has arisen between public and private patients in respect of the treatment of patients with stage 3 melanoma by a company (details supplied) which has sanctioned the use of immunotherapy for its customers, which has been proven to be successful to prevent the cancer recurring in stage 3...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (23 Oct 2019)

Declan Breathnach: Tá gealltanas sa chlár Rialtais go gcuirfidh chun tosaigh ár dteanga dhúchais. Tá deacrachtaí ar fud na tíre, agus i gContae Lú ach go háirithe, maidir le Gaelcholáistí, toisc nach bhfuil go leor múinteoirí dátheangacha ann agus nach bhfuil daltaí ag dul ó na bunscoileanna go dtí na haonaid. Iarraim ar an...

Declan Breathnach: I will be clear. For a start, the Chair has no role in the grouping of questions. Standing Order 41(2) states, "Where Questions nominated for priority are grouped for reply, the total times allowed for the group and for the initial Ministerial reply shall be the aggregates of the times which would be allowed for the individual Questions."
