Éamon Ó Cuív: Are there no further questions, I thank Dr. Sindy Joyce, Dr. David Joyce, Professor Hayes and Professor Schweppe for their contributions. We may only have a few weeks left of the Dáil. We are looking to put forward quick, simple recommendations because we need change. At the end of the day, while we can go all over the place, the one place where we can actually effect change is by...

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2024)

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...

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2024)

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.

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2024)

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2024)

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.

Dara Calleary: I welcome this year's budget provisions for enterprise and for our Department more widely.
