Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: The implementation of the progressing disability services programme is agreed Government and HSE policy. This policy supports the reconfiguration of children's disability services to provide equitable child- and family-centred services based on need rather than diagnosis. Crucially, this aligns with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The HSE's roadmap for service...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Pauline Tully: The progressing disabilities model is not working on many fronts. There were 91 CDNTs established before the end of 2021. According to the HSE census from a year ago, only one of those teams was fully staffed. A number were close but quite a number had vacancy rates up to 70%. A team cannot function with a vacancy rate of 70% or even 50% or 30%. Many children have no access to their...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: I cannot disagree with anything the Deputy said in terms of the challenge the significant level of vacancy poses for the CDNTs all over the country and their ability to deliver crucial interventions for children and the subsequent improvements in quality of life for families. The next Government will look at the progressing disabilities model and have an opportunity to make decisions. We...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Pauline Tully: We have been hearing about a recruitment campaign for quite some time. The progressing disability model was drawn up in 2013 or 2014, I think. At that time, workforce planning was not done and we now do not have sufficient therapists. I acknowledge it will take time to educate enough therapists but there is no guarantee they will work in disability services. There are many other areas...

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank everyone for coming in. We are always trying to use our time in the meeting. We are here to do a body of work. Sometimes for us it can be frustrating revisiting topics such as the impacts of poverty, intergenerational trauma and the concentration of this in disadvantaged communities. The reason it can be frustrating is because many of the people who are here at this committee are...

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: That has an impact on retention and recruitment.

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: I hear Mr. D’Arcy there.

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: The question was about youth justice and that project.

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: Are there any organisations that are funded by youth justice?

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: In theory, the UBU project is for general youth work and the youth justice system is for more targeted youth work. On young people being referred to services through the Garda referral process, what is Mr. Ducque's experience of criminal association with addiction or involvement in the sale or distribution of drugs? How does that get in the way of working with young people? Does it get in...

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: They are picking up too many charges.

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: It is an opportunity to engage.

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses. I am substituting for my colleague an Teachta Thomas Gould. My first question, and this will probably will not surprise Mr. Perth, is for Connect 4. I was able to watch a bit on screen but also read the submissions. I was struck when the perception of self-sabotage of the area was spoken about. Perhaps Mr. Perth could talk about how young people's perception of...

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Mr. Perth for that. For the broader witnesses, my understanding is that the committee has agreed that public consumption of drugs cannot be allowed to increase, as we have heard from other jurisdictions that this has huge impacts when they decriminalise drugs. How can we control public consumption without further stigmatising the people the witnesses are working with? How can those...

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I agree.

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: It would be overwhelmed.

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: Specifically regarding public consumption and the way that can be managed, my understanding is the committee had agreed that an increase in public consumption should not necessarily be a by-product. How can that be done without further stigmatisation, however? We spoke about stigma and trauma. How can that be done without heaping further stigma on communities that do not need it and cannot...
