Update on Water Supply Situation – 29th January 2010
There has been a significant improvement in relation to the water supply situation throughout the Dublin Region over the last week. This is due to a combination of factors including a reduction in demand from consumers, finding and fixing leaks and the imposition of supply restrictions by the Local Authorities. Storage levels have recovered from the critically low levels of early January at all treated water reservoirs. At Stillorgan Reservoir, which is of vital strategic importance, levels have risen from a low of 402 million litres on January 15th to 640 million litres on January 29th 2010.

St Brigid's School, Killester Update |
|
Wednesday, 27 January 2010 00:00 |
Schools Refurbishment
Deputy Finian McGrath: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for the opportunity to raise this important issue regarding a proper water supply for St. Brigid's girls' national school in Killester, Dublin 5. I am here tonight to support the parents, pupils and teachers on this urgent matter. The school needs support and I call on the Minister to provide the funding to St. Brigid's to deal with the water issue, the tanks issue and above all to ensure that the school has a safe and regular supply of water so that the teachers and pupils can get on with their work. The background to this issue is the recent water crisis in the Killester area. The residents in the area suffered major problems with water supply and many people had to go without water for days, which is unacceptable. The Minister needs to ensure that the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and Dublin City Council get their act together and provide for a long-term solution for the water issue in the Killester area.

Cystic Fibrosis Update . . |
|
Monday, 04 January 2010 10:59 |
"To ask the Minister for Health and Children if she will support a matter (details supplied).
Details - Will there be 34 ensuite beds for Cystic Fibrosis patients in St. Vincent's Hospital when the 100 beds are built in 2011?
Dear Deputy McGrath ,
I refer to your above Parliamentary Question.
Ambulatory care for CF patients at St. Vincent's is provided in the new building opened in 2006.
Eight new single en-suite rooms (St. Christopher's Ward) for the in-patient treatment of CF were opened at the hospital in August 2008. This brings the total level of in-patient accommodation for the treatment of respiratory patients (including people with CF) at the hospital to 63 beds.
The next stage in the development of St. Vincent's Hospital will involve the building of a new ward block to replace existing accommodation. This facility will provide single room en-suite inpatient accommodation (100 rooms) and a dedicated day unit, including 10 single day treatment rooms with en-suite sanitary facilities.
With regard to the allocation of beds I can advise that this new building will service the medical needs for people with CF and other patients who will require this type of accommodation.
Tenders for this development are currently under consideration, which should result in the signing of a contract for construction early in the new year. It is estimated that the construction, equipping and commissioning of this block will take approximately 18 months and the new facility should be operational in Autumn 2011.
I trust that this clarifies the matter.
Yours Sincerely,
Louise McMahon
Hospital Network Manager

Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (No. 2) Bill 2009:
Committee and Remaining Stages.
Deputy Finian McGrath:
I strongly support amendment No. 2 because it is fair, just and balanced, but above all it deals with many of the fair play issues we have heard about in recent weeks, particularly as regards the broader issue of the public service.

Independent T.D. hits back |
|
Sunday, 20 December 2009 16:05 |
Dear Editor
I object strongly to the tone of Michael Clifford’s article on Independent T.D.’s (Sunday Tribune 13/9/09) It is misleading and gives the impression that we do not care about “developing values, running the Country or shaping a nation”. We are not all the same. Deputy Joe Behan and I voted against the budget, stood by the most vulnerable in society and supported our public sector workers. This was not mentioned in the article. I voted on what was in the document.
