Anne Rabbitte: Can we just have clarification on whether this is disability or older people, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle?
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)
Catherine Connolly: No, the question has been asked now. We will have to deal with the ambiguity.

Anne Rabbitte: Either way, on the section 39 pay that was agreed last year, the HSE is finalising its KOSI applications at the moment, so that funding should be making its way to the staff as we speak. For other details I will talk to the Deputy outside.

Willie O'Dea: There is a very serious staffing crisis in the oncology department of University Hospital Limerick as a result of it having lost 30 nurses, who have not been replaced despite the fact the embargo is not supposed to be operable at UHL anymore. The consequences of this are very serious. It means gravely ill patients have to wait for unconscionable periods of time for essential treatments such...

Helen McEntee: As the Deputy has rightly acknowledged, there has been significant investment in UHL in recent years, including a 59% increase in funding, a 58% increase in the region overall in the satellite hospitals, as well as a 42% increase in the staff specifically. I do not have the exact details for the oncology area the Deputy mentioned, but of course we want to ensure that investment is going into...

- Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Recreational and Sporting Events) (Amendment) Bill 2024: First Stage (8 Oct 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Recreational and Sporting Events) Act 2021 so as to prohibit a primary ticket seller from engaging in dynamic pricing when selling, or advertising for sale, tickets or ticket packages for cultural, entertainment, recreational and sporting events, and to promote fairer...

Patrick Costello: I raise the issue of the lack of gardaí in parts of my constituency. Inchicore has been without a community garda for many months. There seem to be internal delays in the Garda in appointing new people who are expressing interest in this. All of this extra funding for gardaí is being made available but my constituents want to know when we will see these gardaí on the...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)
Helen McEntee: I assure the Deputy one of my top priorities has been to increase the number of gardaí overall as well as to get our college up and running, having had to close it because of Covid-19 and the health challenges there. To increase numbers and get recruitment back to what it was, I have done a number of things. I have provided significant funding, increased the age at which people can...

Pa Daly: It is very frustrating for newly qualified speech and language therapists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists who have taken unpaid placements and attended interviews in Athlone at their own expense to still be in limbo, having been offered jobs during the summer but not having had a chance to take them up. A three-card trick has been played by the Government in announcing the...

Anne Rabbitte: It is important to begin by saying disabilities never had an embargo on recruiting OTs, physios, speech and language or for any form of therapy. Funding going from the Department to the HSE will be centrally allocated to each of the RHOs, which have sole responsibility for apportioning it according to the needs within their structure. If interviews have been done, I have no doubt the...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: My question is similar. I want to speak about the CDNT in Carlow. Carlow has a population of more than 60,000 but in the CDNT there is one nurse manager, one dietitian, two physiotherapists, two social workers, one nurse, 1.7 SLTs and no occupational therapists. In excess of 100 children in Carlow are awaiting speech and language therapy and 170 waiting for OT. The Minister of State knows...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)
Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Deputy for raising a similar issue to the previous contributor. It is important to reiterate there was never an embargo on recruitment in disabilities. In CDNT teams, we have 700 vacant posts which are fully funded and there is a continuous recruitment campaign under way. Regarding adult multidisciplinary teams, we have in the budget, for the first time ever, a pathway to...

Frank Feighan: Recently, we have heard very worrying revelations involving the Sinn Féin Party and its knowledge of serious and disturbing child sexual abuse crimes. We now know this party, which operates across the Border from Dublin, knew somebody under investigation for serious crimes involving children was moved from working for the party to working for a charity where the person had access to...
