The HSE has confirmed to me that there have been no new residential services for people with disabilities developed in south Tipperary since 2017. That means it has been five years since any additional capacity was added to the residential services children with disabilities can be referred to. In the same response, the HSE confirmed that 13 families have requested residential services for their children while there is also a cohort of children in the care of Tusla who will need these services. South east community…

The HSE was set up by you.

I, too, support this motion and the industry. I have no truck with or trust in any of the unscrupulous breeders out there, who make up a tiny minority. I acknowledge the prowess we have in the horse racing and greyhound industries in Tipperary. As was said, the horse racing industry directly supports 10,000 jobs in the country and indirectly supports a great many more. The naysayers here, who are just anti-everything really, are against this. They would have us afraid to speak. I was speaking on an issue during Lea…

Freagair an cheist.

The Taoiseach has abandoned the pensioners.

Instead he was closing the bank branches.

The Taoiseach's friends.

There are conditions.

It is not agreed.

On behalf of the Rural Independent Group, I am seeking an urgent debate on what happened at this morning's Cabinet meeting regarding the bonuses to be paid to the fat cats in the banks. In case the Taoiseach tries to put words in my mouth, I am not talking about ordinary officials. Many nurses and healthcare workers are still waiting for the €1,000 the Government promised them. At the stroke of a pen, the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe can bring in this measure for bankers and those in government will all say…

Yes, it is. I am objecting to the Order of Business because I want an urgent debate on this matter in order that we can bring some reality to the situation for people who are struggling so hard to live, get homes, educate their children and everything else. This is what we give them two weeks before Christmas - the two fingers. It is shocking.

I am not against workers. I made that quite clear.

We know who the Taoiseach is serving.

The Taoiseach can spin it any way he likes: it is disgusting.

I want to ask the Taoiseach about the situation that is going on in East Wall and many other areas in this country with inward immigration. As the Taoiseach knows, the Irish are people of céad míle fáilte and 1,000 welcomes. They are a very welcoming people. However, we one sees busloads of young men arriving in an area in the dead of night and being put into industrial buildings, which we see happening in different parts of the country, we need a proper debate and a proper understanding. We must listen to communit…

These highly paid NGOs cost nearly €6 billion per year. They are running amok in this country and are treating the people like second-class citizens. We need proper legislation on this. We cannot just sustain this.

It is causing strife and angst to everybody. We are trying to help people who are in a war, but these people are not from Ukraine.

It was all men.

There is no documentation.

I will meet Deputy Ó Cathasaigh any day, but not out at a COP. I will meet him out on Moanyarha bog where the turf cutters look after the bogs and the flora and fauna. I will meet him there any day. He can bring his cargo bike and see how far up the hill it gets him before he has to push it.
