- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Nov 2023)
John McGuinness: Normally I would not come into a committee of which I am not a full member but I am so concerned about the issues I am going to raise that when I saw it on the monitor I decided to come in. The Commissioner said it is up to the local chief to make a bid. I actually think that is quite a disturbing statement to make because I would say it is up to the Commissioner to make sure the local...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Nov 2023)
John McGuinness: I find that morale in the force among the members I speak to is at an all-time low. Part of the deal has to be around a futuristic view of rosters and how they operate and doing everything possible on pay and conditions to retain those in the force who want to be in it. They are looking elsewhere because of the pay and conditions. We have to reach out to them. We are not making enough...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Nov 2023)
John McGuinness: His name has been mentioned before not only in committees, but also in the Dáil Chamber. I am simply asking for an update on his case because we were informed about it in 2018 and we have not been informed since. Will the Minister address those issues? Finally, I ask the Minister who will take control of the paperwork left over from the Charleton tribunal and any outstanding...
- Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)
John McGuinness: The biggest challenge facing the country following the allocation of moneys through this budget is how that budget is managed. Like the previous speaker, I have serious doubts as to whether or not the State and all of its agents have the wherewithal and systems in place to give us value for money and efficient delivery. I give the example of the school bus system. The school bus system has...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Oct 2023)
John McGuinness: The child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, service in counties Carlow and Kilkenny is in such a crisis that it is commonplace now that nine-year-old kids are being brought to accident and emergency departments for attention only to be sedated with no service follow-up. Last week, on Friday, I notified CAMHS of a particular case and it was unable to respond. In fact, there was...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)
John McGuinness: Deputies Doherty and Conway-Walsh have asked all of the questions that I had in mind but I would like Mr. Ó Broin to clarify one matter. People access an advertisement or offer, attempt to purchase a product, leave the online site believing that they have purchased, but the product never arrives because the advertisement is a scam. Yet those advertisement continue to appear on...
