The future of healthcare in Ireland is at a turning point. Demand is increasing, with a growing, ageing and more sophisticated population. We have an opportunity to create a system that is patient centred, community driven and sustainable. Our focus must be on prevention and accessibility and ensuring that care is delivered where and when people need it most. A strong healthcare system relies on r…

5. Deputy Martin Daly asked the Taoiseach for an update on the establishment of a Cabinet committee on water quality to co-ordinate water quality improvements across all sectors; and when it will hold its first meeting. [4452/25]

In 2015, Roscommon University Hospital was allocated €7.85 million for a vital rehabilitation unit. It was part of a deal for the reconfiguration of the hospital after 2011 and of the enhanced infrastructure that was promised at that time. This project remained a priority under the HSE capital plan for eight years up to 2023. The last update indicated progression of the unit's design. Given this l…

35. Deputy Martin Daly asked the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee on EU and international affairs will next meet. [7674/25]

Given the current fluid international political climate and the apparent disengagement of the US from European security, Ireland may be expected to contribute more to EU security. Historically, we have under-invested in our security forces, relying on others to protect our airspace and waters. With the need to protect our infrastructure and secure our borders, do we have a strategy for formal secu…

I wish the Ministers of State, Deputies Naughton and Moynihan, well in their new roles. The opportunity to make this statement is timely. I am moved to refer to the heart-breaking interview on the "Oliver Callan" show last Friday of Radie Peat and Dan Lambert about their daughter who has non-verbal autism. They eloquently articulated the horrendous difficulty parents and their children with specia…

I am grateful for the opportunity to speak as a TD and GP about an issue of deep concern to my constituents in Roscommon–Galway and, indeed, people across the country, namely the status of our mental health services. While I fully acknowledge the very significant personal commitment of the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, and that of the Government in prioritising mental health care, delivering …

-----a system that is truly accessible, effective and responsive to all the needs of our constituents.

I congratulate the Tánaiste and the Minister of State. President Trump was elected on a platform of isolationism and protectionism. It is not clear whether he is using tariffs for crude political leverage or engaging in a true trade war. Neither is it clear if the traditional American guarantee to European defence is secure. Given the consequent economic and security instability and Ireland's uniq…

I thank the Tánaiste for his answer. It is critical for a country as small as ours, with a small economy very much exposed to the tariffs coming from the United States or any change in the economic climate affecting the relationship between the United States and the European Union, to work through the European Union, which is a powerful economic bloc, to advance our interests. I thank the Tánaiste…

11. Deputy Martin Daly asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will report on his plans for the establishment of a new US-based body that will be specifically tasked with further strengthening US-Irish relations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4462/25]

Given the possibility of reduced access to the highest levels of the US Administration, that international forces may well be working against us in the US because of our stance on human rights in respect of Gaza and Palestine and the commencement of a trade war by the Administration of the United States against the European Union, can the Minister report on his plans for the establishment of a new…

As a newly elected TD and a republican, I thank the people of Roscommon-Galway for placing their trust in me. It is an incredible honour and I take this responsibility seriously. I thank my family, friends and campaigners for their support. I rise today to speak on behalf of my constituents in Roscommon-Galway who are deeply frustrated and upset in the aftermath of Storm Éowyn. The storm resulted …
