I thank the Minister of State and acknowledge the work done in the past Dáil regarding the banning of dogs. I also thank him for acknowledging the Bill I introduced in the Seanad. I believe it is a good template for what we can do and work off.
I hope the Department of agriculture can take over this entire brief and for it not to be across the three Departments as it is at present. We need awareness and accountabili…

I wish the Minister, Deputy Foley, and the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, the very best in their hugely important roles. They have a massive responsibility, with thousands of people across this country relying on their success. We have made some progress in the provision of disability services. I commend the Minister of State's predecessor, Senator Anne Rabbitte, on her work and on her dedication to people with …
I congratulate my colleague, Deputy Ardagh, on introducing this critical and important legislation on the right to be forgotten. I wish it was passed in the last Dáil but here we are today to ask the Government to bring this forward. It will deliver equality in financial products for those who go through cancer and survive it. More than 220,000 people in this country have survived or are living with cancer. Unfortuna…
12. Deputy Erin McGreehan asked the Taoiseach if he will report on any recent discussions with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. [4235/25]
13. Deputy Erin McGreehan asked the Taoiseach if he will report on his attendance at the 42nd British-Irish Council in Edinburgh in December. [4236/25]
I also seek an update on what conversations were had relating to the legacy Act. As Deputy Smith rightly said, the contents of that Act are deplorable, despicable and absolutely unacceptable to every victim and family of those victims in Northern Ireland.
The Taoiseach spoke about the just transition and putting this on a sustainable footing. Has there been a conversation with British authorities about co-operation …
21. Deputy Erin McGreehan asked the Taoiseach the plans to increase staffing levels in the shared island unit within his Department. [4237/25]
The shared island unit is fantastic. I only have to walk a few miles from my house to see the work that has been progressed on the Narrow Water Bridge. I am incredibly ambitious for what the shared island unit can achieve. I ask the Taoiseach to consider that the shared island unit should look towards schools North and South and create a project almost along the lines of the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibiti…
It is a great job.
It is an important issue.
I am glad we have this opportunity to speak about mental health so soon in the term. It shows the Minister of State’s conviction and the importance she places on this. This is something I am very worried about. Like the Minister of State, I have regular constituency clinics and I know it is a huge issue. We knocked on doors from last summer until November. I do not know how many doors opened where, door after door, I…
First, I wish the Minister of State the very best in his role and congratulate him. It is a hugely important brief and out of all the Members I know across the Houses, he will take it on with sincerity and gusto. I wish him the very best of luck with it.
This evening, I am asking for an update regarding special ASD classes in County Louth, both at primary and secondary school level. I have many parents contacting me…
I very much appreciate the Minister of State's offer to initiate my policies. The script he provided states that there are 98 ASD classes in County Louth - 75 at primary level and 23 at post-primary level. There is a clear inequality. We must be focused on ensuring we have classes for our primary school students through to their transition into second level. As the Minister of State well knows, there are far too many…
I am seeking an update on the waiting list action plan. We have a strategy in place. I raise this matter in light of the crisis situation at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda. The emergency department is continuously in surge capacity and appointments are constantly being cancelled. We have two hospitals in County Louth, namely those in Dundalk and Drogheda. The hospital in Dundalk is under-utilised. There is …
Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCeann Comhairle. Is mór an onóir dom labhairt anseo inniu mar Theachta Dála do Dáilcheantar Lú. Is é seo mo chéad chaint sa Teach seo agus ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil le mo theaghlach, le mo chairde, le mo lucht tacaíochta agus leis na baill d’Fhianna Fáil i gContae Lú a d’oibrigh chomh dian ar mo shon. Táim fíorbhuíoch díobh as a n-iarrachtaí.
It is a huge honour to be standing here…
25. Deputy Erin McGreehan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will report on his visit to Belfast last month; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4238/25]
The Deputy has another two minutes, or four minutes in total.
I thank the Deputy.
