Yes, we have.

We had legislation in this House several times by-----

You are spoofing again.

I am not interrupting you; I am correcting the record of the Dáil.

The wording has been debated in here.

You voted against it.

That is how much of a spoofer you are. You voted against it.

Tairgim: Déanann Dáil Éireann: ceiliúradh ar ár dteanga náisiúnta agus ár bpríomhtheanga oifigiúil atá lárnach i saol sóisialta, cultúir agus eacnamaíoch an náisiúin uile, an Stáit, agus na Gaeltachta ach go háirithe, mar mheán bríomhar, nua-aimseartha agus síorathraitheach sa ghnáthshaol laethúil, foghlama, cúraim, tráchtála, ceartais, riaracháin, litríochta, ceoil, drámaíochta, agus ealaíon closamhairc, mar a léirítear sa rath atá bainte amach go hidirnáisiúnta ag Kneecap agus An Cailín Ciúin, chomh maith le bhei…

Go raibh maith agat. Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Tóibín.

Gabhaim buíochas le gach Teachta a ghlac páirt sa díospóireacht seo. Tá sé go hiontach go raibh an chuid is mó den díospóireacht go huile agus go hiomlán trí Ghaeilge. Aithním ach go háirithe iad siúd a labhair Gaeilge sa Dáil don chéad uair sa díospóireacht seo. Tá sé go hiontach go bhfuil an deis sin acu. Tá an deis sin acu gach uile lá, ach tharraing an díospóireacht seo roinnt daoine a bhí beagáinín cúthaileach maidir leis an nGaeilge amach. Tá meas agam ar aon duine a dhéanann iarracht. Luaigh daoine eile an s…

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. A national emergency is usually declared when the economy is under threat, when family life is under …

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 the old Ballina–Killaloe bridge. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan – To discuss the increased number of wanderi…

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 agus an dtacóidh sé leis an stailc amárach? Cad atá á dhéanamh faoin éileamh atá acu?

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 whether their child is reaching their milestones or whether there are issues involved. Recently, an …

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 keep their hand in. They must also make sure they have the money for the test and ensure their car …

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. Deputy Martin Daly - To discuss the development of the regional national rehabilitation unit at Roscommon University Hospital. Deputy Séamus McGrath - To discuss the shortage of available GP places in the south Cork area. Deputy Alan Kelly - To discuss th…

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 sin ráite, níor éirigh liom. Ní raibh an lá liom. Ba mhaith liom cur i gcuimhne don Teach rud a dúirt…
