I raise the ongoing issue of the future long-term funding for the network of live-monitored CCTV cameras in Limerick. I understand this was raised at the mayoral forum recently. In light of the total Garda budget of €2.74 billion, the funding shortfall here is €880,000. I know that the Department of justice cannot fund this directly. Would the Taoiseach support the Garda to fund the local authority to ensure that thi…

I thank the Minister for her statement. I want to be constructive in the time I have. I welcome the fact that we, belatedly, have an occupied territories Bill. I rise here with my colleagues in the Labour Party to be critical of the Government for failing to include services because I personally feel, and we in the Opposition can feel, almost by extension, the orange fingerprints of Donald Trump all over the exclusio…

14. Deputy Conor Sheehan asked the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee on housing will meet next. [42080/26]
Limerick faces a severe housing deficit. It is 6,000 homes behind delivery targets. The Taoiseach recently spoke at the Limerick Chamber business luncheon but planning permissions and housing commencements are down 40% in Limerick in the past year and both the Chamber and An Taisce-----
-----have raised reasonable issues in relation to the disconnect that is there between national policy enabling or hindering local development. Density zoning of 50 per hectare in Castletroy, Mungret, Raheen and other suburban areas is affecting viability in those areas and it is going to be very hard to get 100-plus dwellings per hectare in the city centre. What sort of targeted interventions are the Government cons…
That is where he is gone.
That is my point.
Hear, hear.
I thank Deputy Joanna Byrne for introducing this motion. She has shown real bravery and leadership on this issue. We have a proud history of standing up against injustice, whether it was the stance we took on apartheid in South Africa or the recognition of Palestinian statehood. In June 1999, the then Fianna Fáil Government showed leadership in relation to this in refusing to grant entry visas to the Yugoslav nationa…
I will take Deputy Murphy's supplementary question and then Deputy Tóibín.
No, I do not think so. The Deputies will have a minute each and then the Minister will get two.
It is not a back and forth.
We are moving on to Question No. 131 in the name of Deputy Murphy, who is taking it for Deputy Boyd Barrett.
Deputy Daly wishes to come in on a supplementary.
"One-way ticket I'd give her back to the shithole she came from". That is about the only thing I could repeat in this House among an awful lot of online abuse that was posted under the social media of our candidate in the Galway West by-election, Helen Ogbu.
I am asking the Government to take action against online hate. The Tánaiste is no stranger to social media, both the positives and negatives, and I acknowledge …
Táim sásta leanúint ar aghaidh.
Gabhaim buíochas le mo chomhghleacaithe as na leasuithe sin a chur síos. Aontaím leis an méid a bhí á rá ag an Teachta McGuinness. I dtuairim Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre agus i mo thuairim féin, tá gá le bord níos mó agus caithfidh an bord iomlán a bheith tofa. Tacaím le leasuithe Uimh. 3, 5 agus 22.
Chuala mé an méid a bhí le rá ag an Aire. Tá a lán cumhacht fós ag an Aire. Impím air glacadh leis na leasuithe seo. Bheadh sé níos daonlathaí. Tá iarrtha sna leasuithe na toghcháin seo a athrú ionas go mbeidh siad níos láidre.
Táim sásta tacú leis an leasú seo chomh maith. Aontaím leis. Tá sé fíorthábhachtach ó thaobh daonlathas agus trédhearcacht an bhoird agus na cathaoirleachta.
Tá mé an-sásta tacaíocht a thabhairt don leasú seo mar gheall ar an méid a bhí le rá ag an Aire faoin údarás mar bhord Stát agus mar gheall ar an gcomórtas PAS. Bhí a fhios agam cheana féin go raibh daoine ann a bhí agus atá mar Bhaill den Dáil agus go raibh orthu éirí as bord Stát roimh dóibh a bheith tofa mar Theachta Dála nó mar Sheanadóir. Aontaím go mór leis an leasú seo mar gheall ar na rudaí céanna a bhí á rá …
Ar dtús báire, ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a dhéanamh leis an Teachta Kyne as ucht bheith tofa arís ina Teachta Dála. Ba mhaith liom chomh maith mo chuid tacaíochta a thabhairt don leasú seo. Aontaím leis an méid a bhí le rá ag na Teachtaí Conor McGuinness, Hearne agus Kyne. Tá an saineolas agus an eolas ag an t-údarás chun é seo a dhéanamh go héifeachtach. Caithfidh an Rialtas ról reachtúil lárnach a thabhairt don …
Tá mé buíoch den Aire as an méid a bhí le rá aige mar gheall ar an scéim phíolótach agus mar gheall ar an méid a bhí curtha i láthair ag an Teachta Kyne. Caithfidh muid bogadh ar aghaidh leis sin. Ag an am céanna, áfach, bíonn an t-údarás ag obair maidir le cúrsaí tithíochta sa Ghaeltacht pé scéal. Ní aontaím leis an Aire nach bhfuil na scileanna ag an údarás. Tá roinnt scileanna aige agus tá daoine fostaithe ann. Ca…
