Joint Committee On Health: Addiction Services: Discussion (14 Jun 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: I want to get in a data question, which is one I very often ask the HSE, the Garda or any forum to do with justice.

Who is collecting the data and how complex are those data? It is important in health-led approaches that we...

Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: I am bit late in today. I am trying to cover a number of committee meetings this morning. I want to turn to the issue of funding of homelessness services.

Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022)

Are we bringing more NGOs into the sector?

Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: That would be really helpful. On getting NGOs into this sector, there was a discussion about the tender process and revisiting it and making it easier for NGOs to tender. Obviously, the reason we have more PEA is that the facilities are cheaper to run. They do not necessarily have the kind of trauma-aligned care we would like to see for homelessness accommodation. We discussed in 2020 the...
