Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I thank all Senators for their contributions. Senator Malcolm Byrne congratulated Ms Eileen Morrissey and the team in the libraries on her election. I, too, congratulate them. The Senator called for a debate on the issue of rural accommodation and rural tourism. The Leader has asked the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, to arrange a date to come to the House to discuss this important...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the witnesses. I have a question regarding Part 5 of the Bill and the wider use of PPS numbers. There has been a lot of debate over the years about the use of PPS numbers, which I understand are the property of the Department of Social Protection. Would that be correct? That was one of the reasons given that it was not legislated for. Will this Bill, under Part 5, now put that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: That is great news. There has always been that uncertainty. It is in effect a unique identifier number, notwithstanding the anomalies my colleague Deputy Burke has referred to. With regard to records, I am christened John but use the name Seán, for example. Some people use a fada on that name and some do not. People get married or use the Irish version of their name when they may...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: In Part 8, there is provision for putting a legal obligation on the health service provider to provide an individual set of records to another health professional at the request of the individual and on making the buying and selling of personal health information by anyone other than the individual concerned an offence. I welcome all of that. With regard to somebody who is in a coma, not...

Seán Kyne: An bhfuil faitíos orthu teacht os ár gcomhair mar nach bhfuil siad in ann feidhmiú trí mheán na Gaeilge? An bhféadfadh siad ráiteas a chur ar fáil agus b’fhéidir go mbeadh muid in ann é a aistriú?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Ceannteidil an Bhille um Údarás na Gaeltachta (Leasú), 2022: Grinnscrúdú Réamhreachtach (Atógáil) (10 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: Cuirim fáilte roimh Shorcha Ní Chéilleachair. Tá Tuismitheoirí na Gaeltachta an-láidir ar son oideachais trí mheán na Gaeilge do dhaoine óga atá ina gcónaí sa Ghaeltacht. Tá súil agam go n-aontóidh siad leis an gceannteideal ar leathanach 5 go mbeadh dualgas ar aon iarrthóir do thoghchán an...

Seán Kyne: Cé atá níos tábhachtaí – ball den bhord nó feidhmeannaigh an údaráis? An mbíonn aon deacracht ag Tuismitheoirí na Gaeltachta teagmháil nó caidreamh a dhéanamh le feidhmeannaigh an údaráis, nó feidhmeannaigh na Roinne, maidir lena gcuid oibre agus na rudaí a theastaíonn?

Seán Kyne: Dúirt Sorcha Ní Chéilleachair nach scaoiltear isteach na meáin go dtí na cruinnithe fiú. Sílim go ndearnadh uair amháin. B’fhéidir go mbeadh a fhios ag an Teachta Ó Cuív. Is í an fhadhb atá agamsa leis an rud seo ná go bhfuilimid ag déileáil le bord Stáit ach, ag an am céanna, táimid ag...

Seán Kyne: Aontaím leis sin. Is leath agus leath atá i gceist anseo. Cruthaíonn sé sin deacrachtaí ach cruthaíonn sé deiseanna freisin ó thaobh go mbeadh an pobal ar an eolas faoi na rudaí atá ag dul ar aghaidh. Maidir leis na rudaí ar cheart don údarás a bheith ag déileáil leo agus na cumhachtaí ar cheart dóibh a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health Information Bill 2023: Department of Health (10 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: That is not an office that would have to be legislated for. It is an appointment.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Leader. I welcome all the delegates from various parts of the country and the world to the Chamber. I will start on a positive note. Last Friday, we had a great occasion in Athenry, County Galway, with the news announced by Dexcom of a major investment in County Galway and the west with the creation of 1,000 jobs over five years plus 500 construction jobs on an IDA Ireland...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Deputy Leader. I have raised on many occasions the status of the emergency department in University Hospital Galway, UHG. I welcome that there has been progress, albeit slow progress, of late. The strategic assessment report has been sanctioned by the Department of Health after a long time. Planning permission for the demolition of the old emergency department has been...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Greenways Provision (3 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I thank the Cathaoirleach's office for choosing this matter. I welcome the Minister of State. This is down for answer by the Minister of Transport but, of course, it could equally have been put down for answer by the Minster of State because it relates to issues of heritage, even though greenways fall under the remit of the Department of Transport. We can agree on the benefits of greenways...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Greenways Provision (3 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. I will bring his response back to those who are concerned about the matter. The Minister of State indicated the cantilevered boardwalk will be designed in such a manner as to minimise potential environmental impacts on Kilcaimin Bay, and that is certainly welcome. As he will be aware, there are huge difficulties in the planning process. Galway...
