Seán Kyne: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit as sin. Tá sórt céille leis an méid sin. Bhí Anna Ní Ghallachair agus Micheál Ó hÉanaigh os ár gcomhair an tseachtain seo caite nó coicís ó shin agus luaigh siad gur cheart go mbeadh trí choistí réigiúnach: Gaillimh, Maigh Eo agus an Mí le chéile;...

Seán Kyne: Is smaoineamh maith é sin atá curtha os ár gcomhair ag an Teachta Ó Cuív agus b'fhéidir go mbeadh an tAire Stáit in ann breathnú ar na comharchumainn freisin le go mbeadh ionadaíocht acu.

Seán Kyne: Aontaím leis an Teachta Ní Chonghaile maidir leis na coistí réigiúnacha, céard atá i gceist acu agus na cumhachtaí atá acu. B’fhéidir go mbeadh muid in ann fáil amach go díreach ón údarás cad a dhéanfaidh siad ag na coistí seo agus an bhféadfaí caidreamh a bheith ann idir na ceantair, na...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Wastewater Treatment Facilities (30 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I also welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Calleary, to the House. As the Minister will be aware, and I am sure it is the same in his own county, there is a huge need for investment in local wastewater infrastructure in Galway and in many counties around the country. Indeed, from analysis done by a former senior engineer in Galway County Council, Connacht has a greater need than many...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Wastewater Treatment Facilities (30 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I thank the Minister of State for the reply. I welcome the fact the decision on funding will be made by the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, shortly. The local authorities will be relieved to see progress on that. I also welcome the fact there is an independent panel. I note that my colleague, Councillor PJ Murphy, is hugely interested in the progress of these applications in Craughwell and in...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: Cuirim fáilte roimh chinneadh an Rialtais inniu polasaí do na hoileáin a cheadú agus tá súil agam go mbeidh an tAire, an Teachta Humphreys, á lainseáil an tseachtain seo chugainn. I welcome today's decision by the Government to agree on the islands policy. It is something I launched back in November on Sherkin Island with the Minister, Deputy Coveney,...

Seanad: Naming of National Children's Hospital for Dr. Kathleen Lynn: Motion (24 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: Dr. Kathleen Lynn was a formidable woman, from what I read about her. She should be honoured for her republicanism. Somebody said here she is not a household name. I put the blame for that on those who belong to her party. I certainly will not take any blame for it. I was lucky enough to be part of a Government and party who built the children’s hospital with taxpayers' money. We...

Seanad: Naming of National Children's Hospital for Dr. Kathleen Lynn: Motion (24 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: Issues arose about the cost. Looking at inflationary pressures since then, if we decided to start building it now it would be multiples.

Seanad: Naming of National Children's Hospital for Dr. Kathleen Lynn: Motion (24 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: We are all rushing to open it. I appreciate that. It would be multiples of the cost now. It is right Dr. Lynn be honoured in some fashion but I am not sure naming the children's hospital is the most appropriate way. I note there is nobody here from the Department of Health, which is unusual. Who ultimately will decide on this? The motion has been passed already. Senator Keogan put it...

Seanad: Naming of National Children's Hospital for Dr. Kathleen Lynn: Motion (24 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: It was. Is it the board of the children's hospital? Maybe the Minister does not know. Is it a recommendation that goes to Cabinet? I am not sure. Before someone says there are precedents, there was the Jack Lynch Tunnel, when Fianna Fáil were in power and at their height. It has happened for previous taoisigh. I do not know of any taoisigh for a number of years who had a hospital...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I welcome Mr. Gloster and the team. A headline last week in the Connacht Tribuneat home in Galway stated Australia has embarked on a recruitment drive to attract nurses and midwives to relocate from Galway and the west. Recruiters from two New South Wales districts are hosting an information session and interviews in Galway as we struggle to fill nursing vacancies. This is not new. There...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: It is an interesting debate. I am not sure I agree on having settings for nurses, whether temporary or for the medium term. It works well in student accommodation and the skills are there. I would not rule it out.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: Yes, but recruitment will be an ongoing issue and incentives are necessary.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I agree with colleagues on the Neurological Alliance of Ireland and MS Ireland. I support their requests. They were before us last week. I know Mr. Gloster has envisaged the CHO 2 team will hopefully be filled this year or early next year, depending on recruitment. Where does he envisage the team will be based? I presume he is talking about all together in one location. I am sure Mr....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: With regard to prioritisation, Robert Watt was before the committee a number of weeks ago. If a project is both politically and health-wise of such importance, I asked him how fast it can go through the stages of the public spending code. It is on the record that he said that, all things being equal, it is six to nine months. Are there projects in Galway that could be fast-tracked? This...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I thank all Senators for their comments, questions and statements here this morning. Senator Malcolm Byrne started off with the issue of section 39 organisations. It is a long-running saga and section 39 workers have valid issues and claims regarding their pay and not being treated in the same way as those within the HSE, particularly with regard to health and mental health. I will...
