This week, at Leaders' Questions, my colleague Deputy Cian O'Callaghan highlighted the scale and depth of the crisis across health regions and across disciplines revealed by further parliamentary questions
Thank you, Taoiseach. That concludes Leaders' Questions
reply to my party leader during Leaders' Questions on the issue of GAA Palestine, the Taoiseach said he would say no more. We need answers on this, however. This is perplexing for us in opposition too. The necessary documentation was supplied. The appeals mechanism allowed no real mechanism
June when the Cabinet committee last met. I will come back to the question of tariffs, which I raised with the Taoiseach during Leaders' Questions. The tariff of 30% now threatened by President Trump would, of course, be ruinous, as the Taoiseach rightly said, for EU-US trade
raised it in March. I did take action, as did the Government. I think the Deputy raised it on a Thursday during Leaders' Questions and on the Monday, from my memory, we had a meeting of the Cabinet committee on disability and agreed to sanction a fund
gave a comprehensive reply to the Deputy yesterday at Leaders' Questions. The simple matter is that we are in the same position this year as last year. There is an Estimates process under way and then there will be a budget. It is at that stage that clarity

Earlier on Leaders' Questions, the leader of the Opposition criticised the Taoiseach and the Government in relation to children coming to this country from Gaza to seek
sufficient time left in the slot to deal with them so I propose to move to the next item, which is Leaders' Questions. Is that agreed? Agreed
Deputy Bacik will appreciate that it is time for Leaders' Questions
thank the Deputy. I am not sure whether he was here during Leaders' Questions when I responded to many of the Deputies who raised this issue. What has been stated up to this point is that the one-off temporary measures taken in the past 12 months
Last week on Wednesday, and again on Thursday, I and Deputy Sherlock raised on Leaders' Questions the scandal of abuse in nursing homes. We sought assurances from the Taoiseach on Wednesday and from the Tánaiste on Thursday in respect of protections against abuse. This week again
Minister, Deputy Browne, have made decisions as difficult for renters as they could possibly have managed. Last week, and again just now on Leaders' Questions, he gleefully said the Government took the Opposition by surprise with the pronouncements on RPZs
Thank you, Deputy. Please allow the Social Democrats to take their Leaders' Questions slot
There is no real detailed teasing out of issues or discussion of issues in here on Leaders' Questions - it is get up and have a go. The Deputy mentioned the proposal around the SSIA, a savings and investments scheme. She must acknowledge that it would take some years
million. This stabilisation is based on the assumption the Galway city ring road will be operational post-2030. We heard already during Leaders' Questions how the Taoiseach values this project and wants to see it being promoted.
Despite this, Galway is still projected to be the city with
delicate age in their lives.
As regards another area of non-accountability, I recently raised twice in the Dáil with the Taoiseach during Leaders' Questions the scam that is going on with certain financial advisers. On foot of that, I attended a meeting with the Central Bank
This is the kind of thing we have to listen to during Leaders' Questions
have a 12 o'clock deadline. I am afraid I do not make the rules. The rule is 12 o'clock for Leaders' Questions
Deputy opposite has made assertions in his Leaders' Question and I am quite entitled to respond to them. The bottom line here is supply. There is nothing coming from him on supply. The Housing Commission recommended reform of the RPZ scheme. The Social Democrats welcomed the Housing Commission
testimony of Paul Guy has been very impactful. As I said earlier to Deputy Bacik, who raised this question on Leaders' Questions, it is very traumatic for families generally with loved ones in nursing homes but particularly for the Guy family. Legislation is already in place to deal
Before Deputy Bacik starts, we have a full Public Gallery. I am asking all Deputies in the House to be respectful. This is Leaders' Questions. It means each party gets to ask a question. If Deputies are happy heckling during the answer, I will let them
