- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)

The Minister said that these Bills come up at a certain time and have to be dealt with. What actually happened between October 2020 and now, that it could not come up before this? I wonder what the situation is on that. It is obviously not rushed or urgent...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I am really going out disheartened today. How do we sort out a system that has failed our children and families so much? I know the Minister of State has the six assessment hubs to streamline the assessment of needs process. Where is the nearest one to Carlow and how is that working? According to the most recent census, County Carlow has grown by nearly 10%, and we now have a population...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: It is critical, and they deserve proper pay. Everyone is doing their best. The biggest issue we see daily is recruiting staff.
