- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: I certainly agree with that.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: I do not see any pathways. There are no pathways in it.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: The response mentions CAMHS and CHO 4, which covers Cork and Kerry. We do not have to go into that but having 0.04 of a specialist is like having one negative on a racehorse. That will tell you what resources are going into it. As I said, I would like to see the response that comes back from the petitioner on this. At least then we will be able to follow up it for them but I expect some...
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: No, but I have read about the plebiscites and the democratic process that took place in 2007, 2012, 2017 and 2022. There were 733 in favour and 476 against. The next one is in place until 2028. I understand where the petitioner is coming from but more dialogue with Dublin City Council is the way to go here. It is a democratic process and it seems to be a fair one, even though the...
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: I would certainly agree with the recommendations. Let us see what they come back with. You have to talk to people. If you do not have dialogue, you do not get anything done.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: Yes, agreed.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: No, other than to say that there has been much correspondence and more has to be done. The petitioner has committed the DAA to try to sort this out. We know it has spent a lot of money on other issues. Again, I agree that we should send off the response to the petitioner and see what they come back with. It is about everybody working together. I do not know. I am very interested in what...

- Visit of Czech Delegation (17 Oct 2024)
Catherine Connolly: Before we begin I very much welcome our parliamentary colleagues from the Czech Republic who have joined us in the Distinguished Visitors' Gallery, and ask Members to join me in extending a céad míle fáilte to them. I welcome Jiří Růžička, leader of the delegation from the committee on education, science, culture, human rights and petitions of the...
- Maternity Protection Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Second Stage (17 Oct 2024)
- Maternity Protection Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Second Stage (17 Oct 2024)
Roderic O'Gorman: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak on Second Stage of this important legislation. It is incredibly worthwhile legislation, which will have a very real impact on women at a very important juncture in their lives. The Bill provides for two main areas of reform. The first is to allow a pause in maternity leave for treatment...
- Maternity Protection Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Second Stage (17 Oct 2024)
Seán Sherlock: I thank Deputy Kerrane for ceding time to me to speak on the Bill. The Labour Party broadly welcomes the Bill. I ask that an additional explanatory memorandum be supplied on the NDAs and the records. It would be good parliamentary practice if it were possible. We reserve the right to bring forward amendments on records and NDAs as well as the maternity leave protection elements of the...
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Oct 2024)
Mary Butler: I thank the Deputy very much for her question. Some €110 million of funding in this year's mental health budget, which will increase significantly next year, is paid out to various organisations and NGOs and different groups on the ground that deliver services. The onus is on each group to reach compliance with the regulations and the governance has to be in order. They can engage...
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: I said in Wexford.
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Oct 2024)
Mary Butler: It is absolutely untrue to say there are not 24-7 supports for people with mental health issues in Wexford. They can attend the emergency department in Wexford General Hospital, which will always be the first port of call, that is, an out-of-hours emergency department.
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: To the Tánaiste, I say that is what elects Independent Deputies.
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Oct 2024)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Please, Deputy.
