- 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.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: This is to do with the train traffic management system. Originally, the estimate was for €148 million. The range could now be somewhere between €175 million and €205 million, with the project estimated to come in at approximately €188 million, which is obviously a substantial difference. I do not doubt that the system is needed, but can we write to the NTA to...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Yes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: We are being told in this correspondence that the current status of the development is commercially sensitive and the focus of the project is being reviewed. Essentially, the project has stopped. We should write to the Irish Strategic Investment Fund to get a status update. This is a non-answer. I am not satisfied with a non-answer. We need a status update. Approximately €24...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: We have not had it before the committee since its accounts were published.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: These are the oldest accounts that are outstanding.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: This is in terms of the largest entities. This is all the more reason. I presume the number of claims in dispute has had a bearing on the hold up.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: This is absolutely the reason this committee exists. It is the one that is most outstanding. We may well have delayed having it before the committee so that we would have the 2022 accounts.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I completely agree that we should insist it come before the committee. Whether or not we are here does not matter.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I would, yes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: It strikes me that if this does not happen, it will be 2025 before the committee will deal with a set of accounts from 2022. That is madness.
- 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...

Joan Collins: 6. 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).

Joan Collins: 25. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if a guarantee can be provided that the second optional protocol to the UNCRC will be ratified before the term of the Thirty-third Dáil concludes (details supplied); if his Department has finalised the outstanding legal obstacles; and if not, the measures required before Ireland can finally ratify this...
