Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues Relating to General Practice: Discussion (26 Jan 2022)

Seán Kyne: Has the rolling out of primary care medical centres assisted in addressing some of the issues? At least that would be a base from which to start? Has that been of assistance or is it a case that many buildings are not fully utilised because there was not the buy-in with GPs to start with by the HSE?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues Relating to General Practice: Discussion (26 Jan 2022)

Seán Kyne: Those are all important points for the committee to take forward. What percentage of GPs are part of the out-of-hours infrastructure such as Westdoc and their equivalents? In my area west of Galway city, which includes Moycullen, Rosscahill and Oughterard, some GPs are not part of Westdoc. They tell us of the pressures they are under regarding providing cover. The HSE has been given an...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála Fisiciúla sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Jan 2022)

Seán Kyne: Is í ceann de na fadhbanna do thithe sa Ghaeltacht ná go bhfuil an chuid is mó de na ceantair Ghaeltachta, go mór mór san iarthar, lonnaithe i gceantair chaomhnaithe agus áille agus go mbeidh fadhb iontu ó thaobh an radhairc agus rudaí mar sin. Bíonn ar na comhairlí contae na ceantair seo a chaomhnú agus a choimeád mar atá...

Seanad: Climate and Agriculture: Statements (25 Jan 2022)

Seán Kyne: The Minister is welcome. I would like to acknowledge the tour of Ireland that he did during the summer and autumn of last year.

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Feighan. I would like to thank the Cathaoirleach's office for choosing this Commencement matter. I know the Minister of State is familiar with Connemara and the N59. I am sure he has driven it on numerous occasions going out to Clifden or elsewhere in Connemara. Over the past couple of years we have seen huge improvement on that road. First of all,...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Road Projects (20 Jan 2022)

Seán Kyne: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Feighan, for the reply. He states on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Ryan, that it is expected the report will be with the Minister for review and a decision this year on whether the project will move to the next stage, and also while this project is not being progressed in 2022, it will be considered for advancement next year. I am confused. Is that...

Seanad: Social Welfare Bill 2021: Second Stage (16 Dec 2021)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Minister to the House. As I said on numerous occasions, social protection and social welfare are a safety net for people in the State when they need support. If Covid has taught people anything it is that those who thought they would never be reliant on core social welfare payments found themselves requiring support for themselves, their families or their businesses. This has...

Seanad: Appropriation Bill 2021: Second Stage (16 Dec 2021)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Minister of State. We were in the Lower House 12 months ago - the year has passed quickly - for the debate on the Appropriation Bill.
