- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Mother and Baby Homes (24 Oct 2024)
Claire Kerrane: Could the Minister confirm that the review will be in 2026, within six months of the second anniversary? The review will look at the operation of the scheme, but I presume it would not include the possibility of extending it even if there is money there to do that. I believe that is the case. I do not think anyone could say there is not money to do it. Will the Minister consider extending...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Mother and Baby Homes (24 Oct 2024)
Roderic O'Gorman: I thank the Deputy very much. The review must be completed by mid-2026. That will give a span of time through which the scheme has been operating. There will also be a stronger sense then of the level of uptake of the scheme. We were expecting a surge of applications at the start, in the way we had seen with the birth information and tracing legislation, but it is now clear that the level...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Mother and Baby Homes (24 Oct 2024)
Claire Kerrane: I may not get the opportunity to raise this again. Coming new into this role, it is only now that I am meeting the survivors. Does the Minister not wonder about Temple Hill? I cannot understand how it can be regarded as a hospital when babies were adopted to America, via newspaper advertisements. How is that a hospital? I cannot understand that at all. I have never heard of a hospital...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Mother and Baby Homes (24 Oct 2024)
Roderic O'Gorman: The scheme that was legislated for in this regard provides redress in the form of financial payments and enhanced medical cards for former residents of mother and baby homes and county home institutions. That was the definition and basis upon which eligibility for this scheme was decided. It was a response to the commission of investigation into mother and baby homes and county home...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Early Childhood Care and Education (24 Oct 2024)
Claire Kerrane: 2. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth when the joint labour committee will meet, following the announcement of funding for a pay increase for early years educators in budget 2025; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43702/24]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Early Childhood Care and Education (24 Oct 2024)
Claire Kerrane: SIPTU and others, including educators within the early years sector, welcomed the funding increase the Minister announced as part of budget 2025. As previously, I presume the joint labour committee, JLC, will meet in order to determine what that increase will be. I am conscious of the work of the committee. Is the Minister aware of when it will meet on the back of the budget announcement?
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Early Childhood Care and Education (24 Oct 2024)
Roderic O'Gorman: We all recognise the hugely important work done by early learning and care staff and school-age childcare staff. We also recognise that the pay they receive does not meet the hugely important work that they undertake. It was my objective as Minister in the past four years to do more so that their pay would meet their requirements and recognise the hugely important role they play in...
