I also welcome Chelsea Canal, a student at Villanova University, who is interning with Senator Malcolm Byrne and has a particular interest in media.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the witnesses. Mr. Hourihan mentioned screening in primary schools, ideally in second, fourth and sixth class. He reckons there are 200,000 children in these classes, and 100,000 have been seen, including some of those in second level. Is every primary school covered at second, fourth or sixth class? Are some covered at second and fourth? Who decides that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)

Seán Kyne: Are things like adult braces and so on a direct consequence of inadequate screening?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)

Seán Kyne: Mr. Hourihan also mentioned the most vulnerable falling further behind, in particular children. He also mentioned special care and those with a disability. Certain children and adults who may have profound disability will have communication issues. They may require more complex care, such as sedation, etc. How have they been impacted? Are they prioritised?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)

Seán Kyne: Mr. Hourihan mentioned the 1985 legislation. Does that need to be updated for the Minister to sign off? Mr. Hourihan said he can sign off with the stroke of a pen. Does that have to be updated to create these specialties?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)

Seán Kyne: There are just a couple of issues I wanted to raise. While we ramp up places in universities, as Deputy Ó Murchú suggested will be done based on announcements from the Minister, is there scope to use retired dentists in their first, second or third year after retirement if there is not an age limit? I ask Mr. Hourihan to clarify whether there is. Perhaps this happens anyway. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)

Seán Kyne: It is something that is worth considering. I will certainly raise that up the line. On education, we all know the basics. We try to further that legislatively, whether through tobacco legislation, sugar tax, the Healthy Ireland framework or different measures such as those. Could more be done within our school system in terms of education? I am talking about the importance of oral health...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)

Seán Kyne: I recall one of our primary school teachers in 1985 or 1986 asking us if we have brushed our teeth that morning. Maybe they had seen something on the television or something that prompted them to do that. I know this is a sensitive area but there were issues in a practice in Oranmore, County Galway last year. I can understand that the witnesses will not want to speak on that and I will...

Seán Kyne: Go raibh maith ag na finnéithe as na freagraí sin. Maidir leis na hoibleagáidí 20% d’earcaithe nua a bheith líofa, an bhfuil siad sásta go bhfuil tús maith curtha chun an céatadán sin a bhaint amach? An bhfuil plean acu do na blianta amach romhainn níos mó a dhéanamh chuile bhliain chun a chinntiú go mbeidh siad in ann...

Seán Kyne: Gabhaim buíochas as na freagraí sin. Tá ceist amháin eile agam do Naoise Grisewood. Baineann sé le moltaí atá ag Conradh na Gaeilge agus ag polaiteoirí maidir le comharthaí bóthair. Moltar go mbeadh ainmneacha bailte sa font céanna agus ar an méid céanna i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla. An mbíonn aon phlé sa Roinn...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Soláthar Seirbhís Dhátheangach ó Ranna Rialtais: Plé (5 Jul 2023)

Seán Kyne: Gabhaim buíochas as sin. Tá moltaí ón gConradh go mbeadh an t-ainm i mBéarla agus an t-ainm i nGaeilge ar an méid agus saghas céanna ach go mbeadh dathanna difriúla orthu. Sílim go n-oibríonn sé seo sa Bhreatain Bheag ach nílim cinnte. Chonaic mé é sin áit éigin anyway. An raibh aon smaointe air sin?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Soláthar Seirbhís Dhátheangach ó Ranna Rialtais: Plé (5 Jul 2023)

Seán Kyne: Gabhaim buíochas as sin. Tá a fhios agam go raibh moltaí ag an gConradh. B'fhéidir go mbeimid in ann cóip de na moltaí sin a sheoladh ar aghaidh arís.
