Joint Committee On Health: People Detained in Secure Forensic Mental Health Facilities: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: That brings me to recommendation 15 and the review. I hope and presume that the example of somebody being detained since the 1970s is probably the worst-case scenario or the longest detention of which we are aware. I have a few questions about circumstances where somebody has been detained since the 1970s or 1980s. What is the best practice in terms of timely reviews? What happens on the...

Neasa Hourigan: ...in the past number of weeks, we have seen a province in Canada almost cut off from the rest of the country due to climate events. Are those two issues linked?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Closure of Owenacurra Centre: Engagement with HSE (14 Dec 2021)

Neasa Hourigan: ...east Cork is to have zero residential facilities and to move people to St. Stephen’s facility?
