I thank the Minister of State. It is indicated further on in the written response circulated to Members that there has been engagement with the school. There was a meeting with the school authorities on 25 March. I welcome that and the fact that additional engagement is planned. The concern which Deputy Brabazon set out relates to the long term, and that those students will be there in the long term. Will the Ministe…

I thank the Ceann Comhairle, and commend her for keeping the car between the ditches yesterday, which was a difficult workday for her.
Cuirim fáilte roimh Bille um Údarás na Gaeltachta (Leasú), 2024 agus na hathruithe atá i gceist ó thaobh bord an údaráis a thoghadh. Tá athruithe beaga sa Bhille ó thaobh an t-údarás a bheith in ann talamh a dhíol le AHBs nó le húdaráis tithíochta, chun dídean a chur ar fáil i gceant…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht an díospóireacht seo a bheith againn anseo anocht. Cuirim fáilte roimh an mBille seo. Tá sé go maith go mbeidh cuid den bhord sin tofa arís, mar a bhí blianta ó shín. Caithfidh muid a bheith cúramach ó thaobh na n-uimhreacha ar an mbord, gan iad a bheith rómhór mar tá sé tábhachtach go mbeidh an bord in ann oibriú go maith le chéile agus straitéis an údaráis a chur chun cinn sna …
I again wish to raise the issue of the accommodation recognition payment, ARP. In the midst of the awful ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, it is vital that we try to give some certainty to our Ukrainian guests here in Ireland who are still here having fled their homeland and to those households around this country who generously took in those people in an act of humanity and social solidarity. Families nee…
I thank the Minister of State for attending this debate. I will raise a couple of matters. I welcome the Government's commitment to the Dublin city task force and the implementation of its report. It is very important for the city centre and restoring confidence in the city.
I will call out two items in the report. The first is "Big Move 5 - Deliver more targeted and better located services for vulnerable population…
Tá sé iontach an Ghaeilge a chloisteáil á labhairt i dTeach Laighean an tseachtain seo. Ach an oiread leis an Teachta a labhair romham, tacaím leis an dátheangachas. Tá sé iontach an dream atá ar bheagán focal nó a gceapann nach bhfuil cumas cuimsitheach acu a chloisteáil ag déanamh iarracht an Ghaeilge a labhairt. Cuirim an-fháilte roimhe sin. Bíonn fáilte roimhe sin i gcónaí. Níor cheart go mbeadh éinne neirbhíseac…
I thank the Ministers for being in the Chamber and for taking this debate. This is a good report and I encourage or ask the Government to give it good consideration.
Section 3 deals with recommendations on sustainable housing supply. I want to speak about recommendations 18 and 19, which are about money and finance, the State supplying finance, getting involved and providing essential finance, which is a key compone…
Comhghairdeas leis an Naoise eile on his maiden address sa Dáil.
Much of the debate today has been around the military side, but like others, I will mention the EU humanitarian response to this war. The invasion began on 24 February 2022 and the European Union activated the temporary protection directive, TPD, in March 2022. That was pretty quick. Some 6.8 million people had to seek refuge from this conflict, mostly…
I thank the Minister for being here this evening for this debate. Dublin Bay North is the area that I represent and it has a very mature population, so this topic is directly relevant to us on the northside in that constituency. During the election campaign, we campaigned on this issue in terms of positive ageing and it got good traction with those mature communities. People in Ireland are proactive. Our older citize…
There has been a lot of hype and hot air over AI in general in recent years. Often, this has to do with consultants, sectors and groups trying to hype it up for commercial reasons. Many hope to make lots of money rolling out AI, implementing it and dealing with queries.
If, like me, you buy into AI – it is a fact of life we are going to have to deal and work with – you will realise that, in reality, it just involves…
I thank the Ceann Comhairle for selecting this matter for discussion. I remember these development checks being carried out in respect of my children not so long ago. They are vital for good early childhood development. The checks include, as Deputy Gogarty mentioned, visits to the clinic and public health nurses coming to people's homes. They make sure that children are healthy and developing normally. If the checks…
I thank the Minister of State for her response. I agree with Deputy Gogarty that something needs to be done around Dublin. The numbers are pretty stark. The health service capacity review of 2018 envisaged a big increase in the service by 2021. Baseline capacity was meant to be 2,000 public health nurses nationally by 2026. We are at just over 1,500, which is almost 500 short in terms of where the service is meant to…
The programme for Government contains a solid and welcome commitment to active travel in the form of cycling and walking. How does this square with the disappointing 2025 active travel funding allocation for the city of Dublin, which the NTA has cut, from an initial allocation of €48 million in 2024 to €39.9 million in 2025? There is a 340 km active travel network coming for Dublin, with 35 km built so far and 80 km …
Is é seo an chéad uair domsa labhairt sa Dáil agus mar sin ba mhaith liom buíochas ó chroí a ghabhadh le mo chlann, leo siúd a thug tacaíocht dom agus le muintir Bhaile Átha Cliath thuaidh a chaith vótaí ar mo shon le scór bliana anuas. After 20 years representing Dublin’s northside at local level, it is a huge honour for me to have been elected to Dáil Éireann. Fíche bliain ag fás, as they say. I thank my family, su…
