Verona Murphy: I do not need a lecture.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: The witnesses were asked a straight question and they cannot give a straight answer. That is the problem. It is very frustrating. I am only a politician; I am not the parent with a child suffering with mental health issues. The entire country is going to end up paying for this. I ask again why we do not have an allocation for a dietician for CAMHS in Wexford when there has been a 300%...

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: Wexford must be very unfortunate because we do not have an occupational therapist and we have a speech and language therapy waiting list that blows early intervention out of the water. Can Mr. Reid explain why we do not have an occupational therapist for these children in Wexford?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: Will Mr. Reid reply to this question? There is a child in Wexford who has been waiting four years to see an occupational therapist. Does that sound like a service is being provided?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: Four years might be a challenge at Mr. Reid's pay level but I can tell him that four years is a challenge for these parents.

Since I last brought this up in the Dáil, we have a waiting list for dentists...

Rising Energy Costs: Motion [Private Members] (22 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: I thank Sinn Féin for tabling this motion, which allows us to discuss further the rising cost of living and the developments of the week, which now sees the motion calling for many reductions, including that of VAT which I proposed last week. Many of the earlier price surges were seen as temporary due to supply chain bottlenecks associated with the lockdown. The longer they go on,...

Rising Energy Costs: Motion [Private Members] (22 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: I am almost there. Most of the cost-of-living problems are being made worse by Government taxes, charges and regulations. We have heard a lot about Ukraine, which has simply brought a sharper the focus onto the problems we have. Obviously, the clock has run out. I want to say, however, that many people have come to me in the past week or two. They have said that they do not feel that...
