The Dublin passenger cap now applies to the Donegal flight that lands at Dublin Airport.

No we did not.

This motion put forward by Sinn Féin is an opportunity to say "Stop" and to stop the waste. It a chance to inject a bit of common sense into the Ministers of State opposite me and a bit of humility into them, maybe. Unlike the bike shed, where the Government wasted €336,000; unlike the security hut, where it spent €1.4 million; and unlike the runaway train that is the national children's hospital, which is now the most expensive hospital in the world as it is running at €2.2 billion and counting, and is €1.5 billio…

Hear, hear.

Hear, hear.

Seo Rialtas a chruthaigh arís agus arís eile go gcuireann sé airgead na gcáiníocóirí amú. Tá róchaiteachas de €1.5 billiún feicthe againn ó thaobh Ospidéal Náisiúnta na Leanaí. Chaith an Rialtas €336,000 ar shed na rothar, €1.4 milliún don bhothán slándála agus sa sampla is moille den Rialtas ag cur airgead na gcáiníocóirí amú, tá sé i gceist ag an Rialtas €9 milliún a chaitheamh ar pouches do ghutháin phóca. Tá gnáthdhaoine na tíre seo ag ceistiú má tá an plot caillte ag an Rialtas seo. Seo sampla eile de Rialtas …

Nonsense.

Is the Minister for real? Seriously? Talk to any parent out there who has a child with mental health difficulties and show me one of them who says their priority, instead of getting somebody who will help them, is getting a magnetic phone pouch that is going to cost the State €9 million?

The Minister's Government has underfunded mental health for years. Do not try and wrap this vanity project up as some of way of supporting hard-pressed parents who know that their children are being let down over and over again. If the Minister wants to ban mobile phones, tell the kids to leave them in their pockets. Do not spend €9 million on pouches. It makes no sense at a time when schools are struggling and when mental health services are struggling. The Government has dressed this up as something that it is no…

Put the €9 million, if you want, into the services that parents are demanding and screaming out for with regard to mental health supports.

We need therapists, people who can see them, instead of waiting not only for months, but in some cases for years to see a practitioner.

Do not spend €9 million.

It is waste. I will attack waste every single day.

Not waste, not the bike sheds, or the phone pouches.

Mar iar-Aire Stáit na Gaeltachta, tá a fhios ag an Aire, an Teachta Chambers, nach fiú mórán na pinginí a chaith an Rialtas i dtreo na Gaeltachta sa bhuiséad seo chun tabhairt faoin ngéarchéim tithíochta agus teanga atá ag scrios pobal agus ag díbirt teaghlach as a gceantar dúchais féin. Ar ndóigh, caitheann an Rialtas seo airgead ar na rudaí tábhachtacha, a deir sé, cosúil le púitsí speisialta chun fóin phóca a choinneáil slán sna scoileanna. Gheobhaidh na púitsí agus na fóin phóca seo 50% níos mó maoinithe ná a f…

This is ridiculous.

This is not a point of order.

If we want to bring in character references-----

Hear, hear.

For goodness' sake.
