Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)

Gary Gannon: I have not accepted it. I am wondering why the State is not pursuing it.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)

Micheál Martin: I am not saying the Deputy has but, generally, people did in the beginning. People actually did. I was questioned in the Dáil as if it was a fact.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)

Matt Carthy: 5. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the recruitment target for the Defence Forces; and the number who were inducted and the number who left the Defence Forces in each year from 2020 to 2024. [42033/24]

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)

Matt Carthy: This question is to adjudicate the performance of the Government in respect of the Defence Forces. Sometimes the Tánaiste says there is unfair criticism. It would be important to set out for the Dáil, in each year of this Government from 2020, the target recruitment for the Defence Forces and, in each year, how many were actually inducted and how many left, in other words, the net...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)

Micheál Martin: The military authorities have advised me that as of 31 August 2024, the latest date for which such information is available, the strength of the Permanent Defence Force stood at 7,426. A table containing the requested induction and discharges figures for each year from 2020 to 2024 will be provided to the Deputy. I have acknowledged in the past the recruitment and retention challenges in...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)

Matt Carthy: It is hard to ask a supplementary question when I do not have the substantive response to the question I asked. I take the Tánaiste's commitment to provide the precise figures. Here is what we do know from the Tánaiste's response. There are currently fewer than 7,500 members of our Defence Forces, 2,000 below the establishment figure and a whopping 4,000 below the two-figure...

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: I thank all the witnesses for coming in. I do not know if Dr. Kelly remembers me but I was in his class in 2012 in UCD. I tried to see if he was outside and I did not recognise him but I did when he came in to speak. It is good to see him again after the council on intervention skills in UCD back in 2012. That is neither here or there. My first question is to Mr. McBrien. He mentioned...

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: That makes no sense to me. The thing about common sense is that it is not very common but that is something we absolutely need to challenge. Has Mr. McBrien had any conversations with other nurse practitioners who are able to prescribe and do they share the same view as him? Do they see any challenges in prescribing opioid substitution therapy?

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: If somebody in the situation Mr. McBrien described came into his service and they were already on a methadone prescriber programme but they had to get out and get their daily doses, whatever it might be, is there any co-operation between his department and the methadone dispensers? Does that work in tandem at all?

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: Dr. Kelly mentioned at the start he made on 13 recommendations to the citizens' assembly. Were they all accepted or were any barriers faced in getting some of them accepted?

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: Did Dr. Kelly meet any barriers when speaking at the citizens' assembly? What was the feedback on the recommendations he put forward?

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: Professor Comiskey said we should enable evidence-informed policy and nurse-led prescribing and she has research to support that. She said she wanted to expand on that research.

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
