I can show the Taoiseach the details.

Bogfaimid ar aghaidh chuig Páirtí an Lucht Oibre agus an Teachta Ó Ríordáin, a bhfuil cúig nóiméad aige.

Níl sé anseo. Bogfaimid ar aghaidh chuig an Rialtas agus na Teachtaí Ó Cuív agus Cathal Crowe. Tá naoi nóiméad acu.

Tá áthas orm cúpla focal a rá faoi Sheachtain na Gaeilge. I want to salute a number of people. I am not fluent in Irish and ní raibh aon Bhéarla ag mo sheanmháthair. Rugadh m'athair in 1899 and bhí mo hometown, an Caisleán Nua, ina bhreac-Ghaeltacht go dtí 1957. Fuair na Gaeilgeoirí go léir bás agus tá siad imithe anois. Thosaigh muid coláiste samhraidh 20 bliain ó shin agus rinne sé go han-mhaith ar fad. Gabhaim buíochas leis an iar-Sheanadóir, Labhrás Ó Murchú, agus lena bhean chéile ó Chontae an Chláir, Úna, as …

According to daft.ie, just 17 houses are available to rent in the entire county of Tiobraid Árann today, with just one property available to rent in the largest town, Cluain Meala, a one-bedroom apartment. There are currently 3,521 people on approved housing lists waiting for housing in Tiobraid Árann. Rents in the county were on average 7.7% higher in the final three months of 2020 than they had been one year previously. The national average listed rent is now €908, up 61% from its lowest point. The property renta…

In my considered opinion, HAP has been an unmitigated disaster. Billions have been spent on it which should have been used to build houses. We need to get off that particular road, an bóthar uafásach, as I said. The situation is desperate. While the Government talks of great intentions, when it comes to building houses we need further immediate action for young people, na daoine óga. Many of the Government's policies, especially since the Taoiseach hitched up in a marriage or threesome with the Greens, are leading …

Níl aon choillte.

That does not mean much.

It is not happening.

There are.

Teach an mhadra.

Cut them to get timber.

It is all schemes and no action.

Yes. The Ceann Comhairle said that at the Business Committee meeting yesterday.

The Taoiseach might know that Cahir Castle recently won a prestigious film award. We are expecting a visit from the royal family soon. The Office of Public Works, OPW, needs to upgrade the lighting system in the castle. The splendid colours of the Ukrainian flag are the same as the Tiobraid Árann colours. We would love to light Cahir Castle in those colours. Most OPW buildings can do that and the building we are in did so last night. I am asking the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan, to upgrade the lighting syste…

-----in order to display the wonderful building to all who visit it.

The Taoiseach is in the dark a lot of the time too.

Stop anois. Ná bí ag magadh.

I wish the Minister of State well. I see his arm is in a sling. I did not notice it last week, in case he thinks I was inadvertently avoiding it. I do not know cad a tharla but I hope he will be better soon. I do not know if he is in a fit condition to be sent out to use those weapons Deputy Healy-Rae is talking about. Last Sunday - Dé Domhnaigh seo caite - in Cahir - Cathair Dún Iascaigh - Josephine Casey, Patsy McGurk, Fidelma Nugent, Sergeant Ray Moloney and many others organised a wonderful event in music, song…

The Irish Dental Association is in crisis. Many dozens of dentists have left the scheme because the contract has not been updated for years. Families are struggling. In many counties they cannot get dentists under the scheme. They must travel to different counties, maybe 100 miles away, to get an appointment. Will the Government do something for the dentists who are there? I salute them for the hard work they do and the great care they take of young and old. We will have a huge crisis. If young people are neglected…
