Mattie McGrath: The National Ambulance Service and the south Tipperary ambulance service are in a chronic state of frustration due to a lack of personnel. They were promised some interns but now they are told they will not get them until perhaps August. One night last week two ambulances had to come together as there was only one paramedic in each. One ambulance had to be parked so they could go out on a...

Micheál Martin: I believe very strongly in the first responder model. The professionalisation of that service has been one of the great changes in healthcare in the past two decades. There has been debate in the House as to what is the best model for the organisation of our ambulance and first responder services. There have been difficulties with recruitment generally across the economy because we are in...

Mairead Farrell: Teastaíonn otharcharr i gConamara. D'ardaigh mé é seo trí bhliain ó shin. Tá chuile dhuine ar aon ghuth maidir leis seo. Tá go leor obair déanta ach tá sé ag tógáil go leor ama otharcharr a fháil do Chonamara. Impím ar an Tánaiste dul i dteagmháil le Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte mar gheall air...

Marian Harkin: I want to raise the provision of a domestic violence refuge in Sligo-Leitrim. I accept that, happily, nine new refuges are being developed and nine others redeveloped. One of those new refuges is planned for Sligo. Currently, there is no domestic violence refuge in Sligo, Leitrim or Roscommon. The nearest refuges are in Letterkenny, Castlebar, Athlone or Enniskillen. We are at the...

Johnny Mythen: More than 180,000 people suffer with eating disorders and approximately 1,000 new cases occur each year. Evidence shows that people with eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of all mental health conditions. In my catchment area of Wexford, there is poor access to out-of-hours services to CAMHS liaison teams in the four general hospitals in CHO 5. In fact, therapy for eating...

Mary Butler: I thank Deputy Mythen for his question. I am from CHO 5. I am aware that we have an adult eating disorder team in place in Kilkenny but we still do not have a CAMHS eating disorder team in place. The model of care in 2018 advocated for 16 teams in total, eight adult teams and eight CAMHS teams. To date, we have 12 of the teams funded, of which 11 are in place. I announced one more adult...

Brendan Smith: There is an urgent need to reduce delays for driving tests in the Cavan test centre. As of today, there is a 15-week delay in getting a test date there, according to the average estimated time on the RSA website. An invitation to attend a test is currently being offered for the week commencing 14 October. I understand that it is generally four weeks later before the test is undertaken, as...

Micheál Martin: As I said earlier, the locum will be appointed in July. Alternative arrangements include appointments being offered in Kingsbridge. The NTPF also has a number of schemes for the Saolta group that should also help in providing treatment to people.

Pearse Doherty: As Ireland prepares for Swiftmania, with Swifties from all over the country descending on Dublin, one would be forgiven for thinking that the music festival scene in Ireland is booming but nothing could be further from the truth. As a founder, director and chairperson of the Sult Music Festival, a not-for-profit festival held in Gaoth Dobhair, which will be held again in a fortnight, I have...

Micheál Martin: I would support anything we can do to support Irish music festivals and to try to create opportunities for Irish musicians and acts. I will speak to the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, about convening such a working roundtable. To be fair to the Minister, she has taken a range of initiatives to support native artists more generally, particularly with the basic income scheme she...

Duncan Smith: Public transport workers keep our cities, towns and rural areas moving. They get essential workers to their jobs and people to college and to school. They connect us all. Far too often, they face abuse and violence on the job. Following a recent survey by SIPTU, it was revealed that more than 80% of public transport workers suffer regular instances of abuse, which is absolutely...

Micheál Martin: In April I said that Fianna Fáil was committed to bringing it forward in terms of policy blueprints for the future. I believe in a transport police. The Garda Commissioner has a different view. In my view, the level of abuse and attacks on public sector transport workers is unacceptable. SIPTU and the National Bus and Rail Union have been very strong advocates for a transport police...

Cian O'Callaghan: Shane O'Farrell was just 23 years old when he was killed in a hit and run. Shane was an exceptional young man and dearly loved by his family and his friends. He had a bright future ahead of him and this was cruelly cut short. The car the assailant was driving was pulled over by gardaí an hour before the incident. Inexplicably, the driver was allowed to continue despite having no...

Micheál Martin: I am very familiar, as are Deputies across the House, with this case. Again our sympathies go to the O'Farrell family. It was a young life. Shane's life was cruelly cut down. The scoping inquiry that was established took a lengthy period of time to come to conclusions. I believe the inquiry was comprehensive. It came to a number of conclusions in respect of what happened. The family...
