Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues relating to University Hospital Limerick: Discussion (10 Oct 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: Okay. Maybe they can come back. I will finish on the point that 2028 was the timeline I was given for the second 96-bed block; today the Minister has said 2027. I would like to stick with his timeline rather than the one I have received through a parliamentary question response. Will he explain why the dates keep changing? When will the 48 additional beds for Ennis be delivered? At a...

Violet-Anne Wynne: I raise a local GP issue that we have in County Clare. A local GP, who is a naturalised Irish citizen, applied in January for a visa for his mother to come to visit him. He was told in March that he needed more paperwork to prove his relationship and to show that she did not intend to overstay. All of that information was provided in April. The visa office recently advised that it is...

Child Protection: Statements (15 Oct 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I have for weeks now been talking about the increases in the worrying and concerning culture that exists in this House. There is a notion that we can throw away the people's money, for example, as if we do not absolutely need it in important areas such as housing, health, childcare, disability and basically ensuring that people have access to the very least or the basics of essential...

Social Welfare Bill 2024: Second Stage (15 Oct 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: As I do frequently in the House I want to use this opportunity to raise the need to abolish the means test for carers. I also acknowledge frequently that the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, is the first Minister in so many years to make progressive changes to the means test for carers. On the most recent occasion I raised this with the Minister there was a discussion around the massive...

Disability Services: Motion [Private Members] (15 Oct 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I ask the Minister of State to bear with me as I try to do this very fast. Out of desperation for progress, I commend the decision of acceding to the optional protocol.

However, I am still nervous about the timing and need clarification. I read that...

VAT Rate for Hospitality Sector: Motion [Private Members] (16 Oct 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: The hospitality sector in Clare has been speaking and highlighting its struggles for the past number of months now. I pay tribute to Maurice Walsh and Michael Vaughan for doing exactly that. They have said that they are facing an Armageddon this winter if the Government does not respond to their loud pleas. We know that Shannon Airport has been doing fantastic and its passenger numbers are...

Finance Bill 2024: Second Stage (16 Oct 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Bill. People in County Clare are exhausted waiting for delivery. They were hopeful the Government would use the surpluses in this budget as an opportunity to make a lot of wrongs right, including reinstating the accident and emergency department in our general hospital. There is a review ongoing but, as with other issues being experienced in the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Public Transport (17 Oct 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I want to raise route 336 with the Minister. A lady was in contact with me who has to travel from Kilmihil to Ennis Monday to Friday for her further and higher education course. It is 29.8 km and it costs her €81 per week, which is not sustainable for anyone doing a course. I also want to point to route 343. It has been split into two routes, 330 and 343. This is leading to people...
