- Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (22 Mar 2023)
Mark Ward: I too want to talk about the situation in Palestine and the ongoing immoral and illegal landgrab by Israeli settlers. Since 1967, Israel has established approximately 140 settlements on Palestinian land, accommodating more than 500,000 settlers, and groups of settlers have also built scores of other illegal outposts on Palestinian lands. I had the privilege to visit Palestine last year....
- Eviction Ban: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2023)
Mark Ward: I have been listening to the Minister and other Government Deputies and Ministers on the radio and television during the week trying to defend the indefensible action of not extending this eviction ban. They are far disconnected from the reality of what it is like to be homeless. Do any of them know what it is like to be homeless and to experience that trauma? Do they know what it is like...
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Youth Work and Integrated Care and Education: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)
Mark Ward: I get that about that kind of bottom-up approach. The people who are here today are informing us but the disconnection is there from the top down as well. I get that.

- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Youth Work and Integrated Care and Education: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)
Mark Ward: I have really enjoyed this meeting. It has been very informative. It was mentioned that a report would come out from this. This place just publishes reports and nothing happens to them. It is incumbent on the witnesses and us to make sure that there is action on that report and that we follow up. If the committee runs into barriers in getting actions on the recommendations of that...

Mark Ward: I thank Ms Kearney.
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Youth Work and Integrated Care and Education: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)
Mark Ward: I thank Senator Ruane. It is good to see her. This is my second meeting today. Earlier, I was at the Joint Sub-Committee on Mental Health where the subject of dual diagnosis was discussed. Ms Harris touched on this topic also. This is important. At the meeting in question, we discussed community-based organisations working on the ground directly with the people affected by the decisions...

Mark Ward: Mr. Perth is grand.
- Joint Committee On Health: Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)
Mark Ward: I thank everyone. I am sitting here enjoying the debate. I really do not want to take part in it because it is so good. I met several of the witnesses before in different walks of life and other professions. Dual diagnosis is something I have always been passionate about. As someone who has worked in addiction and community services, as was said and articulated much better by the...
- Joint Committee On Health: Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)
Mark Ward: The three locations mentioned with regard to the pilot programmes that are coming out, are CHOs 3 and 4 and CHO 9, with regard to adolescents and young persons. Are those programmes for the 10%?
- Joint Committee On Health: Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)
Mark Ward: Absolutely. Ms McGillivary and Mr. Williams might be able to answer my next question. On that 90%, the service users who are more likely to be using the Chrysalis Community Drug Project and Sankalpa services, what can we, as legislators, decision-makers and people whose voices are sometimes, although not all the time, heard in here, do to help these services? How do we get their message...

- Joint Committee On Health: Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)
Mark Ward: I agree with Mr. Williams on that. I will table the questions that he has asked as parliamentary questions and I will get them answered and send them to the witnesses. The witnesses have made some very good points. Mr. Williams's opening statement mentioned that recovery is different for everybody. It is not a straight line. People are up and down and can be anywhere on the road to...
