Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 Sep 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I appeal to Government to consider a ban on no-fault evictions. I have looked at the research on rental markets. I heard the Tánaiste say there is fear that this would shrink the rental market but the evidence indicates that it would help to grow the rental market. That fear is unfounded. There were only 35 exits from homelessness in County Clare in the period from 15 June to 22...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 Sep 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: Before this House rose for the summer recess, Members, including me, raised the urgent need for statements on University Hospital Limerick, UHL, particularly overcrowding and the number of patients on trolleys on a daily basis. As the Taoiseach knows, the mid-west is the only region with a model 4 hospital that does not have a supporting model 3 hospital with an emergency department. The...

CJEU Judgment in Apple State Aid Case: Statements (18 Sep 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: The way in which this case was handled points to the wider issue of a culture problem, the same culture problem that we have seen play out in RTÉ and the same culture problem that saw €19 million of funding redirected from vital children’s services, and we still do not even know where that went. The pattern is fast emerging. The Government spent a record €2.4...

Childcare: Motion [Private Members] (18 Sep 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: In my limited time I will only get the opportunity to raise two substantive points, one being the major gap for those children who are not yet two years and nine months but who have additional needs and whom the Minister has locked out of vital supports, ECCE and AIM. I am aware the Minister knows of a particular case in Clare which has been brought to his office. He has not taken action...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Vacant Properties (19 Sep 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: The Minister of State has pointed to a reduction in other counties. That is not the case in Clare, which has a huge vacancy rate. Shannon, once again, had the highest rate of commercial vacancy in the county at 29.8%, which is the highest in Munster and the third highest nationwide. It is unchanged again for a second year in Kilrush at 24.5%. There is no hotel there and has not been for...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (19 Sep 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: With regard to the tenant in situ scheme, my experience with Clare County Council is that for most properties that are eligible, the council tells me that the homeowner is looking for more than the market value and so the council has not been very successful in this. This relates to a number of properties in County Clare. I will address a different aspect of the conversation. We have...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Sep 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I have to raise the disastrous roll-out of the defunct pilot school transport scheme in County Clare. I hope it is not replicated in other rural areas. There has been a cluster of serious safety concerns. All I have received in response from the Minister is reference to another review. There had to be major backwards and forwards with the parents and Bus Éireann. I thank all of the...

Mental Health Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 Sep 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I pay tribute to Councillor PJ Kelly. Everyone would say he had a mighty way with words. From every political determination, that is something they could at least agree on. I will never forget his words that you may put a gate at Lissycasey because there is nothing else past that in terms of funding and resources from Government. For that, he will always be remembered. I express my...
