- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Update on Child and Family Services: Tusla - Child and Family Agency (17 Jul 2015)
Robert Troy: I welcome the delegates from Tusla and thank the chief executive officer for his update on developments at this very important State agency. Mr. Jeyes concluded his statement by emphasising the need for additional investment.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Update on Child and Family Services: Tusla - Child and Family Agency (17 Jul 2015)
Robert Troy: We are always recruiting. Recently, Mr. Jeyes was on "Morning Ireland" as a consequence of a number of groups that had their funding cut. For a moment, I will be parochial. A group in Mullingar that deals with domestic abuse had its funding cut by 100% with no prior knowledge. Basically, the agency wrote out one week stating that within whatever the period, say six weeks, the funding would...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Update on Child and Family Services: Tusla - Child and Family Agency (17 Jul 2015)
Robert Troy: Is Mr. Jeyes is happy with the legal fees? I imagine not. Does he feel that a priority in his engagement with the Minister should be the introduction of the necessary legislation for regulations to deal with proper supervision, training, monitoring and accountability in the service? I accept that it should be removed from Tusla. If this were introduced and it included adequate savings,...

- Order of Business (16 Jul 2015)
Robert Troy: It is not agreed. When the Government came to power, it promised a democratic revolution. We have just sat through 50 minutes of what could only be described as verbal diarrhoea in which the Tánaiste refused to answer very basic questions.

- Order of Business (16 Jul 2015)
Robert Troy: The Government was going to abolish the guillotining of legislation, yet a very important Bill, which was debated this morning and on which there were numerous divisions called, is to be guillotined. The only way the Government feels it can get it through is by introducing a guillotine. It is wrong that the Government has broken a promise it made. For that reason, we oppose the...
