Violet-Anne Wynne: I thank the Chair for letting me in. I thank all the witnesses. I missed a large part of their contributions but an intern was listening and she filled me in. Anyway, I will cut a long story short and get to my questions. What I have heard has been hugely interesting, especially the points that were made about menopause, which is something I had not factored in or come across. That is...

Violet-Anne Wynne: Okay, I figured as much. Dr. Healy talked about reducing stigma. That is hugely important in west Clare. I represent County Clare. In west Clare in particular, however, there is a huge issue around drug use but also societal isolation and not being able to get support when it comes to housing. This is a big issue for me with a few lads who are in west Clare. They actually have the...

- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2024)
Violet-Anne Wynne: It is important that certain witnesses have outlined they see recovery differently from most. People making the decision that they want change is the start of the recovery. If there are no signs of somebody trying to make that choice, that is a big issue in County Clare. I cannot get shelter for them, even emergency accommodation. According to the council, there is a requirement that they...

- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2024)
Violet-Anne Wynne: People will not be able to make that choice and start looking for supports and services if they do not have basic shelter. That is the part that is being missed. Those people have nothing; some of them are sleeping in a burned-down hotel space.

Violet-Anne Wynne: That is at play in the location I am referring to. There is somebody who owns a property so that is where they have to take refuge because they have nowhere else to go. Soliciting is an issue and it will only continue to get worse. I am trying to support a young lady who is trying to bring a mobile shower facility to Clare, just to provide access to basic sanitation and to feeling good.

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: I welcome the witnesses. At the outset, I will say that we seldom have such a stark report and statement from the C and AG, but given the severity of the issues at stake here, the witnesses are back five months later to discuss these accounts. Speaking of accounts and echoing what the C and AG's opening statement discussed, what is the status of the 2022 and 2023 accounts today?

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: When were they due to be? Surely, the witnesses have a timeframe for PwC.

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: Is there any particular reason for that apart from the obvious one of why the witnesses are here today?

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: From the perspective of the committee and on this point, I would argue that within five months of today, the witnesses might be back before us to discuss matters when the Comptroller and Auditor General gets the report done on those accounts given what we are discussing at length here today and just last May. I think we will need to look at those accounts in more detail. Turning to the...

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: I appreciate that and that is true. In terms of the reforms that have been done, therefore, and this may be a query for Professor Kilcommins to speak to, I know they are under way and the report from Deloitte is dealing with that aspect, if I am not mistaken. The report from Mazars, then, is dealing with the cultural aspect.
