Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Eating Disorders (3 Oct 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I thank the Minister of State. That is fantastic news. My response was going to outline that ours is the one region that does not have a team in place, so that is significant. I appreciate that the Minister of State has prioritised this area since she took office. I put this question to her because Mind EveryBody and Cared Ireland gave a briefing in recent weeks in the audiovisual room...

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: It is important that certain witnesses have outlined they see recovery differently from most. People making the decision that they want change is the start of the recovery. If there are no signs of somebody trying to make that choice, that is a big issue in County Clare. I cannot get shelter for them, even emergency accommodation. According to the council, there is a requirement that they...
