Gnó an tSeanaid - Business of Seanad
Senators sought ministerial statements on funding for Project WAVE, expanding reading schools, public dental services in primary schools, and more beds at the Central Mental Hospital.
I have received notice from the following Senators that they propose to raise the following matters:
Senator Nessa Cosgrove - The need for the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science to make a statement on the provision of funding for Project WAVE in 2026 and future years.
Senator Teresa Costello - The need for the Minister for Education and Youth to provide an update on the opening of more reading schools around the country.
Senator Linda Nelson Murray - The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the provision of public dental services in primary schools.
Senator Victor Boyhan - The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the opening of additional beds and associated supports at the new Central Mental Hospital.
The matters raised by the Senators are suitable for discussion and they will be taken now.
