- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Health and Well-being for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (23 Oct 2024)
Dessie Ellis: What is the law relating to someone who refuses to allow their children to be vaccinated, if the child has a disability or otherwise, as for whatever reason they have an objection? Is there a law or do we just have to go along with the person? What is the situation?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Health and Well-being for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (23 Oct 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Health and Well-being for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Moynihan: I thank Mr. Dempsey. There are a number of questions. I will go back to the issue of the teams that have been developed around the country for progressing disability services, and the resources and challenges there. A lot of primary care centres have physiotherapists, speech and language therapists and occupational therapists. They seem to be working in a different area. Is there scope...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Health and Well-being for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Moynihan: Back in January we met with the HSE and the St. Joseph's Foundation in Charleville about providing alternative respite. Some of the service providers would have been able to take families away for two or three weekends, for example to Trabolgan and so on. They were doing four weekends but they are no longer available. They put forward a proposal for some of their buildings to be used for...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Health and Well-being for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Moynihan: The committee made a proposal to the Department of Health as part of its public consultation on safeguarding. What is the update on that? Where has that moved to from the Department of Health point of view? The committee meets representatives from the disabled persons organisations a great deal. The phrase "Nothing about us without us" is very good, but sometimes when one delves deep...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Health and Well-being for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Moynihan: We have a long road to go. I thank them for being before us this evening. We appreciate it. We have a lot of challenges ahead but we will continue. I thank them for being here. Sorry for the disruptions earlier. When we arranged it, there was no vote. Anyway, I thank them sincerely. I thank the members as well for their dedication and, of course, our team here. We send our...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Health and Well-being for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (23 Oct 2024)
Dessie Ellis: I thank Mr. Dempsey and everyone for their input. Before I go to the questions I have, I just want to say that in CHO 9, we have many problems very similar to what has been said about school places and people getting diagnosed. We have young kids on the waiting list for long periods. That is an ongoing thing. A lot of work has been done but there is a serious problem there. It appears...

- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Sinn Féin is not opposing the amendment. However, I must say that a number of the justifications used by the Minister of State in describing the amendment are not factually correct. I would like to give him the opportunity to clarify some of the aspects behind this very specific amendment given that it is a very significant amount of money. The LDA does not have access to over...
