James O'Connor: Thank you.

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

Verona Murphy: The Cornmarket project in County Wexford is a support service for individuals with a history of addictions. A co-ordinator in the services has contacted me to say that the HSE is set to slash 26 front-line positions in social inclusion services at the end of this year. Twelve of those positions are specific to addiction-related services, and at a time when the demand for services is...

Verona Murphy: So Mr. Gloster is not aware of the intention to cut 12 positions within the services.

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

Verona Murphy: I would say it makes no sense at all given that every rural community in this country is facing an existential crisis with drugs. It is no longer the pastime of those who should be avoided. It is every village and community, and every young person I am acquainted with can tell me of friends or themselves being accosted and how it is being used in different environments. Now, this is not...

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

Verona Murphy: Partly, yes.

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

Verona Murphy: I am glad to hear it and I hope he will come back to me. Should there be any instance where we are deciding that, it should be decided by a stakeholder engagement group, which includes gardaí, community liaison officers and politicians. It should be everybody.

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

Gino Kenny: I now invite Ms Kelly to make her opening statement.

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

Gino Kenny: I did not expect Mr. McCarthy to read the whole thing, just the main points.

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

Verona Murphy: No, I am still in the same position when it comes to eating disorders because we have not addressed the situation of either CAMHS units or CDNT units being staffed. We have 817 vacant positions in CDNTs. We are servicing nobody. The situation with CAMHS is almost identical. I will have to come back in later because I am out of time Will Dr. Henry prepare an answer in the interim? CAMHS...

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

Verona Murphy: Correct. That should happen well in advance of any cuts. I thank Mr. Gloster.

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

Verona Murphy: I think the planning has been granted, or if not, it is in the process. My issue is that is what the €2.2 million would probably be going towards but we need that capital infrastructure. Is there any update on the medical centre for New Ross? No. Dr. Henry was putting his hand up to me there.

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

Verona Murphy: I do not want to take advantage, Chair, but I would appreciate a little latitude.

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

Verona Murphy: I turn to the reality of what is happening in our mental health services across the board. I do not know what kind of key performance indicators the HSE is using, but I can tell the witnesses of an adult who has been separated from her children for a couple of weeks, inflicted by her mother, who took her in because she is not coping mentally. She visited local mental health services where...

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

Verona Murphy: I would like to ensure I get an update on the medical centre in New Ross.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Childcare Services (24 Oct 2024)

Claire Kerrane: I thought of that very point when the Minister said one of the biggest reasons people are leaving is age. Giving security to foster carers when they reach the age of 66 and ensuring they can access a State pension is important. I discussed that with the representatives. They said that perhaps a new system is needed. The best thing we can do is consider the new system introduced for family...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Childcare Services (24 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: I thank the Deputy. There is certainly merit in considering her idea. The Deputy is probably aware that Tusla is in the AV room today, where I am hosting representatives who are coming in to talk to Members of the Oireachtas about foster caring and how some of us or our constituents who are interested in it can deliver that message and make it clear how people can sign up. Tusla is doing a...

To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth to clarify a statement in a press release by his Department on 23 September 2024 that ratifying the second optional protocol will mean that Ireland is officially bound by its terms under international law (details supplied).
