- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Child and Family Agency (10 Jul 2024)
Colm Burke: If I may just respond to the Deputy, in relation to 33 children missing, the whereabouts are unknown in relation to the 33. However, ten of them have actually been in contact. Ten out of the 33 have been in contact but their whereabouts are still not known, just to put it into perspective. There is close co-operation between the Garda and Tusla. Operation Cosnaím was set up and,...

David Stanton: I thank the Minister of State for being here this morning. It is great to see a Minister from the Department here. I congratulate him on his promotion and wish him the very best in the weeks, months and hopefully years ahead. This is an issue I have been raising for quite some time. I am lucky enough to represent a constituency that is growing rapidly. A lot of houses are being built...

Mattie McGrath: Last week, we learned from a reply to a parliamentary question put by Deputy Tóibín that 40 children who were taken into State care by Tusla are currently missing. It is understood that 22 of those missing are separated children seeking international protection and unaccompanied minors. On 29 February, Deputy Tóibín raised in this House for the second time with the...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Child and Family Agency (10 Jul 2024)
Colm Burke: I thank Deputy McGrath for raising this very important issue. Children reported missing from care are recognised as being among the most vulnerable in society. It is always concerning where a child appears to be missing or has absconded from care, even for a short period of time. Tusla has a statutory responsibility under the Child Care Act 1991 for children in care, and the agency...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Pension Provisions (9 Jul 2024)
Christopher O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate the response and her understanding of the issue. I also appreciate that she has given an undertaking to communicate to the Minister my frustration and the unfairness and mean-spiritedness I feel have taken place here. I will also, of course, do that myself. I raise a few points. My understanding is that the waiver applied to 2021 and 2022....
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Pension Provisions (9 Jul 2024)
Emer Higgins: To be clear, the temporary blanket waiver of pension abatement continued up until 31 March 2021. This was when the abatement policy for the healthcare sector returned to normal in line with other sectors. This was, as I understand it, communicated to the HSE on 15 January 2021. On 22 January 2021, only a few days later, I am informed that the HSE informed all relevant staff, including, but...

Maurice Quinlivan: I first spoke on the issue of the community access support team in 2021, not long after it was announced that it was to be trialled in Limerick. I was told at the time that it was going to be operational in 2022. Unfortunately, this did not happen. My colleague Deputy Ward asked the Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, about it in 2022. He was also told that the community access support...
