- 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)
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...

Neasa Hourigan: To respond to Mr. D'Arcy's point about decriminalisation, any time we make a suggestion to change the law there is concern on this side of the room about unintended consequences or what it would look like. Professor Comiskey, who appeared before the committee a couple of weeks ago, stated her understanding of the research is that more progressive laws do not necessarily increase use and more...

Neasa Hourigan: He just decided to opt out because he could not be treated with dignity.
- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: I presume the outcome of that is, again, a removal of yourself from the situation or a failure to engage when you probably need it most.
- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: Am I right in thinking, just having sat on the task force a few times, that one of the answers to this is peer support, namely, that people would have a health advocate to sit with them and bring them back? In Mr. McCarthy's experience, is that something that works?

- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: When that happens, in Mr. Perth's experience, what is the language that is used? Is it said the people need to go and get treatment for bipolar first?
- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: It is that dual diagnosis thing that they just will not do it.
- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: Am I right in thinking that if people go in somewhere with bipolar or whatever it might be to ask for treatment, they will often be told they need to get clean first?
