Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Facilities (13 May 2025)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: ...question. It is timely, as I will visit University Hospital Galway, UHG, on Thursday as it happens. The Deputy will be aware of proposals for further significant capital investment there. That includes additional bed capacity, a new emergency department, new paediatric and maternity facilities, a new helipad, replacement laboratories and a cancer centre at UHG. A surgical hub is...

Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
University of Limerick Financial Report 2020 (12 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Ms Harney said she has not been able to receive it and it comes up at every meeting and they look for it. I am sorry to cut across Professor May, but time is just so tight. If the governing authority is the overseeing body, it has budgetary oversight and Professor Mey is working with it in an approach of partnership, why can she not share that report, at least with the chair of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: British Government Legacy Proposals: Discussion (7 Jul 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I have a number of comparative questions and observations based on the statements. I thank the witnesses for the comprehensive work they have done on this matter. We on these islands have been led a very merry dance by Tory backbenchers in recent years. To me, this proposal is especially egregious because it involves absolutely no reference to a democratic mandate of any kind. However...

Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (27 Apr 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Could I ask Ms Forbes about the land sale some time ago to Cairn Homes, which I know she is happy to speak about today? The land was sold at a moment in the market at a one-off price. How did RTÉ originally acquire the land? Was it part of a public service transfer, and if so, when? I just do not know the answer to that. What was the original source of the land RTÉ has?

Written Answers — Department of Health: Health Services (13 May 2025)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I propose to take Questions Nos. 152, 159 and 216 together. I recently announced that from the 1st June 2025, the provision of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) products for the treatment of the symptoms of menopause will be provided free to women at the point of dispensing. The implementation of this measure will now include a dispensing fee for pharmacists. This is step forward from the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Truth and Justice Movement (7 Apr 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank Senator McGreehan for saying that. It is very important. I will raise two things. One is on the granularity of what Senator Currie is suggesting. If you look at the sources of funding, and if you are really going to do this effectively, you have to look at all the sources of funding. You have to look at Irish Government funding, European Union funding and British Government...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Childcare: Impact of Covid-19 (23 Jun 2020)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the witnesses for coming in and thank the members of their organisations for the extraordinary work they have done. Ms Ní Sheaghdha's description of the role of women in work and women's participation in the workforce is about as eloquent as I have heard in my time in this Chamber. It is succinct and perfect, and I want to thank her for putting it on the record. I completely...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Health Services (31 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Although I am taking this question on behalf of my colleague, Deputy Hourigan, I emphasise that trying to support young transgender people in Ireland is a strong interest of mine. When might we see the re-establishment of transgender child and adolescent mental healthcare services through the Tavistock clinic's work with Children's Health Ireland at Crumlin? This is about recognising that...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I agree with the Chairman. We may gain some value by going into the detail of what further variations may be on the cards and what that looks like. There is the historical side of it between the design and the variations. What is left and how different is it? There is also the question of whether big structural changes might be linked to anything around the national maternity hospital....

Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications
Chapter 9 - Remediation of Landfill Sites (14 Oct 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank Mr. Mulligan. I have other questions. I am not trying to be funny, but I am not sure if his broadband connection is the strongest. At a recent meeting of the communications committee, the NBI said that the taxpayer is insulated from any inflation or price increase on the NBI roll-out and that it is capped at €2.5 billion. From the Department’s perspective, is that...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Minimum Wage (13 Dec 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I congratulate the Tánaiste on his period in the office he is holding at the moment and on the substantial increases he has made to the rights and conditions of workers. We have all been informed so much by Covid and the opportunities to work differently and in better ways. This is a really significant part of that. As the Tánaiste says, it is essential that work does pay and...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Home Care Packages (27 Feb 2024)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I agree with the Deputy. It is important to highlight that notwithstanding that this is the highest number in all the different regions, we are still not meeting the need. While we recognise that there are recruitment challenges, both for the public and private sector, the emphasis on management of resources and management from the perspective of the user is still very important. An hour a...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance (State Guarantees, International Financial Institution Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (29 Nov 2023)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The Department carries out risk assessments at all times throughout all of this process. The way in which it is engaged means that there is a constant risk assessment and a constant attempt to work out the exposure to Ireland. However, it is not possible to work out at this stage what will happen in Ukraine in June next year, never mind in June five years from now, and the extent to which...
