Order of Business (23 May 2017)

Micheál Martin: The programme for Government features a commitment to improve "the lives of people with disabilities through better access, supports and independence". While this is a very admirable aim on which everyone will be in agreement, the reality is much different from the aspiration set out in the programme for Government. Many people with very serious special needs who are in need of residential...

Leaders' Questions (23 May 2017)

Micheál Martin: Ar an mbóthar.

Leaders' Questions (23 May 2017)

Micheál Martin: I am surprised the Taoiseach is not aware of the Linn Dara situation because it is all over the media. Linn Dara was opened in 2015 with fanfare. It has 22 beds, 11 of which are to close on Friday, and the children are going to be sent home.

Leaders' Questions (23 May 2017)

Micheál Martin: Will the Deputy please keep quiet? Where are those children going to go? That is the question I asked the Taoiseach. No one has an answer.

These are children in severe need of assessment,...

Leaders' Questions (23 May 2017)

Micheál Martin: What I asked the Taoiseach earlier is whether the Government will intervene to prevent the closure of the 11 beds in Linn Dara. It is next Friday we are talking about and nobody has come up with any alternative for the parents concerned other than those parents taking their children back home, which is not a solution.

Leaders' Questions (23 May 2017)

Micheál Martin: Sending them to an adult facility is not a solution either. Surely it is within the remit and capacity of the Health Service Executive and the Department of Health to intervene to make sure that service does not close on Friday.

Leaders' Questions (23 May 2017)

Leaders' Questions (23 May 2017)

Micheál Martin: I raise again with the Taoiseach the growing crisis in the mental health services. This is occurring for a combination of reasons, including the cutbacks of recent years and a major issue with retention and recruitment of nursing staff, psychologists and psychiatrists. There has clearly been a lack of strategic planning on the human resources side for some time. This is having a...
