Health Service Executive: Financial Statements 2020 (26 May 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: What is worrying, however, for many of the people who come to me seeking mental health services is that money could be allocated and they would not see the service outcome. Is there a perceived acceptable level of time or lag before that sort of money can be delivered into service delivery? There is a real frustration, especially in mental health services. Perhaps I might be better...

Paul McAuliffe: The real frustration is particularly around weekend and out-of-hours access to mental health services. Perhaps I am wrong about some parts of the country, but I still find it alarming that on-call consultants are available in adult out-of-hours mental health services, but the same on-call consultants are not available for child mental health. They are both paid the same amount of money. I...

Paul McAuliffe: It has been good to see Ms O'Connor acknowledge that. It is incredibly serious for the families affected. I was very pleased to be the third speaker this morning because it was after 10 a.m. I understand the HSE capital plan was published this morning at 10 a.m., which means the witnesses can answer my questions on it now. I was very pleased to see a couple of projects in particular. I...

Paul McAuliffe: I think it is number two on the priority list. I will address one other point regarding the capital plan. There is funding for the Beaumont convent site. I was surprised to see that the site had been purchased because it had been zoned for housing by Dublin City Council. There is an issue with paying money for land that is not zoned for the possible intended purpose. Mr. Reid may think...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (26 May 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: In referring to recordings made of members of the Department of Health, I referred to the recording as being illegal. It was wrong of me to do that. I have no evidence to that effect. As a member of the Committee of Public Accounts, I want to correct the record and state that I did not intend to refer to them as illegal.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (26 May 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I often think that going from that meeting to this meeting is like going between two different worlds. We always talk about much more positive things in this room. There are two things that I wanted to touch on. There is much in the recommendations about childcare and caring that speaks to a better society as opposed to just achieving gender equality. In this committee, we have to think...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (26 May 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: You could start with the HSE moving away from suppliers of care for older persons effectively being people on zero-hour contracts, with tenders being based on that. Does anyone want to address the constitutional question?

Recent Developments in Northern Ireland: Statements (25 May 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: The summation by Deputy Jim O'Callaghan is a good chronology of what happened during the Brexit process. We must look back at what has happened in the peace process in order to understand where we are.
