Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Thank you, a Chathaoirligh, for facilitating the question, which I am taking on behalf of Deputy Colm Burke. In fact, I take it on behalf of many people with a strong interest in the answer to this question on inheritance tax thresholds having regard to the progressivity of the income tax and local property tax systems and the rise in house prices. What is the Minister's view on that...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister for his response. I sometimes wonder with the reporting of this whether people really understand who is concerned about it and who is bothered by it. It is as if it is all millionaires and billionaires that are somehow going to benefit from this. I keep thinking about a woman just off Johnstown Road in my constituency, who has paid off her mortgage with income after...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: It is an altruistic position because, as the Minister says, what a person is trying to do is make decisions in the best interests perhaps not of themselves but of their children and helping them to plan their lives. As the Minister says, these mortgages are paid off after tax from net income with tax rates extremely high and with no other source of support from the State. It is about being...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flexible Work Practices (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The question of working from home has taken an unexpected, negative turn in recent months with the rise in energy prices, such as for gas and electricity. What is the Minister’s view on that as we enter the winter months?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flexible Work Practices (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: An interesting point will be interplay between the retention of the deduction and any other changes that Government introduces with regard to energy supports more broadly and how that works out for individuals. It is extraordinary how external events impact behaviour in a collective way, whether it is the change to remote working and how much that has been of benefit to people, particularly...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flexible Work Practices (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The Minister is quite right that the State cannot be the first port of call. There is, however, a general supervisory role and level of communication with businesses, in particular, to try to effect a degree of co-ordination that works for their employees. I spoke with one city centre business owner who has a core day on Wednesday. Everybody comes into the office on a Wednesday for the...

Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister for bringing the Bill to the House and for the amount of work she has done in the Seanad on it. It is really important and timely legislation and I commend her for her work. It is legislation that has been needed for some time. It is clear from our own regulation of politics and conversations with parents, schools and other actors, there is a need for regulation of...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: 438. To ask the Minister for Health if the Health Research Board is conducting a scoping review for his Department on advanced practice physiotherapy grades and physiotherapists as referred to for the purposes of x-rays and imaging; if so, the terms of reference for such a review; the estimated timeline for such a review; the details of any consultative process that would follow including an...

To ask the Minister for Health the number of diagnosed and suspected neuro-diverse children under the care of the CAMHS; the number of those who are currently prescribed medication; the number of those on medication who have received follow-up medical supervision regarding that medication within the previous 12 months; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46938/22]

Written Answers — Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment: Cybersecurity Policy (28 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: 81. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the way his Department is supporting businesses, particularly SMEs, to address gaps in their cybersecurity infrastructure and encourage take-up of very high-capacity broadband connectivity as part of Ireland's National Recovery and Resilience Plan and funded by the European Union; if there is dedicated funding for both provided by...

Financial Resolutions 2022 - Financial Resolution No. 6: General (Resumed) (29 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Sometimes I think we are looking at different budgets. Some €11 billion of a budget is very significant indeed. I remember the days when we were taking figures of €6 billion, and so on, out of the economy. It is a seismic budget. What is the alternative in continuing with existing spending and expanding that, to not doing that? Of course, €7 billion has to be spent...

Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (29 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the witnesses for coming in. I sit on a number of committees, one of which is the Joint Committee on Autism. Last week we had the privilege of having a number of parents of autistic children before us to outline the different things that were going on in their children's lives and the difficulties they were facing. Specifically, a number of parents highlighted difficulties with the...

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (29 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: There is no possibility of the child having been discharged if he remains on medication. Any child on medication, whether it is psychiatric medication, medication for epilepsy, or any other medication, is monitored and weighed for their reactions, height and weight. Is this not obvious? Is this not a thing that happens?

Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (29 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am sorry but it is not a question of following up on the individual case. I am not raising it as an individual representation to be followed up, although I would like it followed up. I am raising it because it highlights that it is possible, within CHO 4, for a child going through adolescence not to have been seen for that length of time. We also have the State Claims Agency in here from...

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (29 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am sorry to interrupt but there is no need to comment on the individual case. I am asking how the system could allow something of that scale to fall through the gaps.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Ms Margaret Lowndes from Dublin 12 was also there. Her son had the first part of an ADHD assessment in May. She has rung every single week since then but has not had a response. Ms Caroline Poole has two children in CAMHS, one of whom is diagnosed with anorexia and social anxiety. Both children have been put on medication but neither of their cases has been followed up on. The...
