I do not know, after hundreds and hundreds of days of people waiting for a medication that they desperately need, how a committee that is paid to do a job still has not made a decision.”

“The Minister mentioned labs, which is fantastic because that is my next point. St. Mary's Secondary School in Nenagh has been approved for its science labs. The tender has been done and the proposed contractor is to be appointed. The school sent its information to the Department on 10 June and followed up on 29 June.”

“I thank the Minister for that. On her final point, I will raise one school to begin with. Presentation Primary School in Thurles originally applied in 2016 for works to its car park and school yard in terms of tarring, relining, safer access and drop-off zones.”

“I want to read an excerpt from an email I got today in relation to Skyclarys for people with Friedreich's ataxia: At 19 years old, I should be excited about my future. I should be looking forward to building a career, travelling, making memories with friends and planning the life I want to live.”

“It is a privilege to represent our party in Dáil Éireann and to stand here today as a Fianna Fáil TD. I want us in this House and my party to have ambition for our future for what we can collectively achieve as we move Ireland forward together. The record-breaking storm, the extratropical cyclone, Storm Éowyn, did unprecedented damage to communities across this country. Power has been restored to about 750,000 homes, farms, schools and businesses by now but some 25,000 customers still remain without supply. As we know, full restoration could continue for a number of days.”

“It is an honour of a lifetime to stand in this historic Chamber to make my maiden speech to a quiet Dáil. I thank the people of north Tipperary and north-west Kilkenny for placing their trust in me and for giving me the privilege of being our collective voice in Dáil Éireann. As one of the youngest Members of this House, I made a promise to be a new, fresh and energetic voice for the people of north Tipperary and north-west Kilkenny. I intend to work every day to deliver for my area and the Irish people on key issues of local and national importance. I thank the Fianna Fáil organisation in north Tipperary and north-west Kilkenny for its support during the local and general elections last year. I particularly acknowledge my family and friends for their support.”
