Tá an díospóireacht seo an-tábhachtach agus is trua nach bhfuil níos mó ama againn chun díriú isteach uirthi mar tá sí chomh tábhachtach sin gur gá dúinn a rá go bhfuil éigeandáil ann.
There is a housing crisis. There has been a housing crisis. There is an emergency, and that emergency did not begin today or yesterday. We on this side of the House have been calling on the Government to declare a national emergency. …

I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 39 and the name of the Member in each case:
Deputy Séamus McGrath – To discuss the shortage of available GP places in the south Cork area.
Deputy Shane Moynihan – To discuss delays in the completion of coroner inquests and post mortems.
Deputy Alan Kelly – To discuss the potential pedestrianisation of…
Go raibh maith agat, a Theachta.
Níl a fhios agam má tá an Taoiseach ar an eolas faoin stailc leathlae ag 40 eagras Gaeilge amárach chun réiteach a fháil anois agus infheistíocht chothrom a chinntiú do na grúpaí agus don Ghaeilge, seachas ciorruithe de €820,000 atá fógartha ag Foras na Gaeilge agus easpa maoinithe leanúnach le blianta san áireamh, gan fiú trácht ar an mboilsciú ar na costais. An nglacann an Taoiseach leis go bhfuil géarchéim ann agu…
I have only a few minutes to speak on what is a huge issue. I will start by mentioning the public health nurses in my own area and this is an issue right across the country. There is only one such nurse in the Drimnagh area and last year that person was transferred to the nearby area so there was no service. One might ask why this is an issue in this debate. Many young parents start to panic when they cannot measure …
This is a very important matter given that many people nowadays depend on being able to drive for work. While the Minister mentioned progress being made, progress has been slow. I, like probably every other TD here, can cite cases where people have not had access to a test and seem to have ended up in whatever hole the RSA has created to swallow up applications. We end up with people paying extra money for lessons to…
Sin é. Glaoim ar an Aire Stáit.
I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 39 and the name of the Member in each case:
Deputy Séamus McGrath - To discuss Garda resources and station opening hours in south Cork city division.

Bogfaidh muid ar aghaidh go dtí tairiscint maidir leis an ghéarchéim tithíochta in ainm na nDaonlathaithe Sóisialta. Is é an chéad duine atá ar an liosta agam anseo ná an Teachta Rory Hearne.
B’fhéidir go raibh an méid a chuala muid ansin níos spéisiúla ná an méid atá le rá agam. Smaoiním siar fadó fadó, dhá mhí go leith ó shin, nuair a tháinig muid le chéile ar dtús báire tar éis an toghcháin. Bhí gliondar inár gcroíthe ag an am agus sceitimíní orthu siúd a bhí tofa den chéad uair. Bhí sceitimíní orm féin agus ar dhaoine eile a bhí san iomaíocht don phost mór, post an Cheann Comhairle, ag an am. Agus é s…

73. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform the steps he will take to ensure that planned expenditure on projects in the national development plan are properly costed and have realistic start and completion dates; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

A long time ago, the Digital Hub was set up in Dublin. It has been shown over those years to be a hub to attract a lot of small businesses, incubator units, etc., that operate in the digital field. It has also linked in with the community and has quite good links in terms of teaching children and helping children in a deprived area to get to grips with computers and create jobs for them in the future. Over the years,…
Cé atá ag insint porkies anois?
I mo thuairim féin tá glactha leis an rún seo. Measaim go bhfuil an Aire breá sásta go bhfuil an chéad ceann curtha de aige.
Go n-éirí an t-ádh leat amach anseo. Anois, bogfaimid ar aghaidh chuig an chéad gnó eile ar an gclár.
Tá mé ag cur i gcoinne an chuid seo den Bhille. Bhuel, tá mé i gcoinne an Bhille ina iomlán. Bhí mé ag éisteacht leis an Aire nuair a thosaigh sé níos luaithe nuair a bhí sé ag trácht ar an Ministeries and Secretaries Act 1924, áit a rinneadh seacht parliamentary secretaries a roghnú ag an am. Ní raibh an Bunreacht ann fiú ag an am. An fáth go ndeirim sin ná go bhfuil sé an-soiléir cad atá i gceist sa Bhunreacht ó th…
Very briefly, arís casfaidh mé ar an mBunreacht. Níor léigh mé amach Airteagal 15.4.2°:
2° I gcás aon dlí dá n-achtóidh an tOireachtas a bheith ar aon chuma in aghaidh an Bhunreachta seo nó in aghaidh aon fhorála den Bhunreacht seo beidh sé gan bhail sa mhéid go mbeidh sé in aghaidh an Bhunreachta seo agus sa mhéid sin amháin.
2° Every law enacted by the Oireachtas which is in any respect repugnant to this Constitu…
Bogfaidh muid ar aghaidh go dtí an chéad sliotán eile ina bhfuil Teachtaí Dála i láthair sa Dáil. Beidh muid ag dul ar ais go dtí sliotán an Rialtais leis an Aire Stáit, an Teachta Micheal Moynihan, ar dtús, agus ansin na Teachtaí Micheál Carrigy agus Eamon Scanlon ina dhiaidh.
Tá brón orm gur dhein mé botún nuair a léigh mé amach an liosta níos luaithe. Glaoim ar an Teachta Keira Keogh anois.
Anois, glaoim ar an Teachta Brendan Smith. Tá brón orm nár aithin mé tú níos luaithe.
Bogaimid ar aghaidh go dtí sliotán Shinn Féin agus an Teachta Louise O'Reilly agus ansin an Teachta Ruairí Ó Murchú.
I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 39 and the name of the Member in each case:
Deputy Emer Currie - To discuss the impact of the new fee adjustments under core funding on national childcare scheme subsidies.
Deputy Alan Kelly - To discuss the potential pedestrianistion of the old Ballina-Killaloe bridge.
Deputy Aidan Farrelly - To disc…
In ainneoin go bhfuil Aire sinsearach ann don Ghaeltacht agus don Ghaeilge faoi dheireadh, mar a mhol Sinn Féin agus grúpaí eile thar na blianta - tréaslaím leis an Aire, an Teachta Calleary, as an dualgas nua atá roimhe - is cosúil ón gclár Rialtais nach bhfuil sé i gceist ag an Rialtas go ndéanfaidh sé mórán sa ról sin. Is céim chun cúl ón gclár Rialtais a bhí ann roimhe seo, in 2020, atá sa chlár Rialtais nua. Ath…
