- 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)
Gino Kenny: Apologies have been received from Deputies Ward and Gould. Deputies O'Reilly and Seán Crowe are substituting for them. Parliamentary privilege is considered to apply to the utterances of members participating online in a committee meeting where their participation is from within the parliamentary precincts. There can be no assurances in relation to participation online from outside...

- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: I thank Mr. McCann and all the witnesses for their opening statements. Each member has seven minutes and I will be strict on time. I ask members to keep it tight. Our first contributor is Deputy Stanton.
- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: I was not expecting to be first but I thank the Chair. I have another meeting at 10:30 a.m on the Traveller issues Mr. McCann referenced. I have met many of the witnesses previously. They have painted a bleak picture but they also put forward solutions, suggestions and proposals that should be taken on board, at this stage, by the next Government in a very strong way. The witnesses have...
- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: If we are going to make a change, such as decriminalisation of the person, we need to have serious service supports in place. Other jurisdictions did this and went down this road but they did not have youth workers, social workers, psychologists or addiction services in place to help people. That has to be a very important part of this. Would Mr. Perth like to come in on the subject of...

- 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...

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

- 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...
