Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: School Meals Programme (11 Jun 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I appreciate all of the information the Minister provided. It has been some feat that she has undertaken over the past number of years. I would like to raise St. Anne's with the Minister, a special school in Ennis. It is a fantastic school. I have heard countless testimonies that the staff and the principal go above and beyond for each and every one of the students. They currently have...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: School Meals Programme (11 Jun 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I will ask the school authorities to do so and maybe the Minister could flag it with the Department as well. They have struggled for a long time to pay the cook's wages. They get other funding that is meant to be for vital therapeutic services and they desperately need those services. It would be important for that funding to be used and not any of it to be paying for the cook's wages in...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (12 Jun 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I raise the pressing necessity of granting or designating independence to Gaelcholáiste An Chláir in Ennis. The matter is so pressing because the school first submitted its application in 1994. We can all agree that, 30 years on, it is high time it received that designation. There is an accommodation crisis in second level schools in Ennis. In fact, all schools locally, when...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Admissions (13 Jun 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I really appreciate all the information. It is welcome to hear about this solace café, the CAMHS hub and the additional team. I queried how many under-18s presented at the UHL emergency department with mental health issues and the data shows that the numbers have increased, which is a huge concern to me. In 2023, for example, 173 under-18s presented with mental health issues or as...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Admissions (13 Jun 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: We have discussed this previously. After that team has been set up, we could possibly look at a further team for the west of Clare, just because of the geography and how far they are from other kinds of supports. The full-capacity protocol was triggered every single day of 2023 in UHL, again pointing to the emergency department not being the best place for those patients. I also queried...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Facilities (13 Jun 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: This is a very welcome announcement for the region and it has been received very well locally. I agree it is a strong statement of intent and I want to acknowledge the commitment to increase capacity at Ennis Hospital. As we know, the population increase is in line with national statistics of 8%. That is a reality that needs to be planned for and delivered on. I know that a theatre...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Facilities (13 Jun 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I want to acknowledge the good work that has been done, particularly in respect of geriatric emergency medicine, the unit at UHL, the expansion of nine treatment bays and 24-hour operations. I believe that is very significant, especially because our region has a far greater number of those over 75 than any other region. The data shows that in the first quarter of this year, 617 patients...
