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

Seán Crowe: The witnesses are all very welcome. I have dealt with many of them over the years in the context of some of the work they are doing. They led off this morning by speaking about the scale of the challenge we face. I think it was Mr. Collins who said that he has not seen the situation on the ground as bad as it is now. I think that is a common view. The witnesses sit on drugs task forces....

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: 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)

Seán Crowe: We were talking about the whole area of youth through the justice system and the lens of it. Again, it seems to be that if you are seen as a potential problem, the supports, the funding or group is there in relation to it, as Mr. Perth mentioned in his opening statement. We seem to pigeonhole young people who are a potential problem. All of a sudden, there is funding there in the justice...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: Inniu is é an príomhchainteoir ná an Teachta Ciarán Cannon. Beidh 15 nóiméad aige. The lead speaker today is Deputy Ciarán Cannon, who has 15 minutes. All other members will have ten minutes, but I will allow them back for a second round of questions. At 11 a.m., we will take a short break.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: Go raibh míle maith agat as sin. An dara chainteoir ná an Teachta Paul McAuliffe.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: I acknowledge the Cathaoirleach's new position. I have no doubt but that she will continue the good work of the previous Chair in chairing this committee and doing it in a cross-party way. Our work in this committee is very important, but so is the way we do our work. It is important and different from other committees. I acknowledge this point. I thank Mr. Gloster and all the team for...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: I saw a figure regarding the outpatient waiting lists having been reduced by 50,000 people. Mr. Gloster is saying this is a real reduction rather than a validation exercise.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: Will Mr. Gloster repeat that figure?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: I accept that point. The experience just shone a light on the outpatients waiting list for me.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: We do not know, but this may be the last or the second last meeting of this committee. It will certainly be the last meeting during this Dáil when Mr. Gloster will be before us anyway.
