11. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Taoiseach the engagements he has had with the National Emergency Coordination Group in the days before, during and after, Storm Éowyn. [13818/25]

I wish to raise a similar issue. It is the very same in County Mayo. We are two months on but we do not have phone lines, which has very serious consequences. To add further insult to injury, bills are being sent out. People are being asked to pay bills for a service they do not have. I have written to the consumer protection commission on that because I am sure that is not allowed. This is an iss…

We are rightly proud of the Irish goods and services that are traded across the world and of our indigenous companies and entrepreneurs who have taken risks and successfully navigated world markets. I recognise the immense contribution to the national economy of our export trade and the role that FDI has played and the truth is that in this time of global political and economic uncertainty and vol…

10. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee on climate action, environment and energy will next meet. [12468/25]

22. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Taoiseach if he will report on his attendance at the EU leaders' informal retreat on 3 February 2025. [12469/25]

I thank Independent Ireland for bringing forward this very important motion. The staggering list of financial mismanagement across multiple Government Departments and agencies is downright disgraceful. I think the Minister of State will agree with me on this. We can give him all kinds of examples. People are really angry. They know the cases being made public are only the tiniest tip of the iceber…

17. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Taoiseach if he will provide an update on the new disability unit in his Department. [8192/25]

The unit within the Taoiseach's Department must deliver tangible results, not least for scoliosis patients who have been let down. Sixteen-year-old Mikey Henry is a scoliosis patient. I have approached the previous Taoiseach, the previous Minister for Health and the current Minister for Health and there is no response. All I am asking for, and all Mikey Henry's parents are asking for, is an opinio…

A second opinion, yes, please. That is all.

The parents for their child, just to see if there is anything that can be done before things get too bad.

31. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee on children and education and disability will meet next. [7770/25]

I have met with special needs co-ordinators in Mayo and they have raised two serious issues with me. The first concerns students in mainstream classes with mild to moderate learning difficulties accessing the junior cycle level 2 learning programmes. These students required specialised special education needs teaching. However, the National Council for Special Education, under the auspices of the …

And the extra hours.

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Ó Snodaigh agus Eoghan Finn for tonight. Ar dtús, caithfidh an Rialtas tacú le Scoil Náisiúnta Thuar Mhic Eadaigh, Gaelcholáiste Chomáin agus leis na bunscoileanna go léir i gContae Mhaigh Eo. Anois, le teacht an earraigh agus an lá ag dul chun síneadh, fós níl meánscoil lán-Ghaeilge i lár Chontae Mhaigh Eo, san áit ar chónaigh Raifteirí an file. Teastaíonn Gaelcho…

I thank Deputy Coppinger for bringing forward this motion, but I do so with a heavy heart. The truth is we do not take this issue seriously. Let us face it, if we were serious about tackling violence against women - sexual, financial, coercive control and all these aspects - we would be doing something about it. We are not. I looked at the aid granted and the total is twice as much as what the sca…

I congratulate the Minister and the Minister of State on their new roles. I wish them well. We all want them to succeed and we all need them to succeed in the area of health. I wish to concentrate my contribution on eating disorders. Some Members may have attended when Cared Ireland presented in the audiovisual room. The reason I went in there was I am desperately seeking help for a constituent w…

1. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will put financial support in place for businesses affected by Storm Éowyn; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6593/25]

It is almost four weeks since Storm Éowyn battered the country. I wrote to the Minister early in February to ask that a scheme be put in place urgently to assist businesses affected by the storm. Last week Sinn Féin used its Private Members' business time to call for Government support to businesses. Why has no scheme been put in place to date? Businesses need to know today what help they can expe…

The Minister might clarify if he got agreement from the insurance companies that the amount they pay will not be impacted. Businesses have two concerns about insurance. The first relates to the excess. If the excess is a couple of thousand euro and their loss is less than that, obviously they will not be able to claim. They are also afraid that their premiums will go up, meaning that over a three-…

I want to get clarity on this. Will a scheme be put in place for businesses? I welcome what the Minister has said about horticulture. As he knows, the land in Mayo and the west in general does not lend itself to that. Will we have a scheme similar to the one we had for Storm Babet? It is important that is done sooner rather than later because people and businesses want certainty. There are many pe…

3. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he has been made aware of potential job losses in the software sector; if he has asked the IDA to intervene; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6594/25]
