Mother and Baby Institutions Redress Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (19 Oct 2022)

Seán Canney: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this very important issue and I compliment Deputy Cairns and the Social Democrats for introducing this motion. As a Deputy living and based in Tuam, the Tuam mother and baby home has been a focus of attention over a number of years. The discovery of 796 babies buried in a mass grave is something that shocked the world. This watershed moment came...

Priority Questions: Community Care (20 Oct 2022)

Seán Canney: I want to raise a very important issue that has arisen in the past year in Loughrea, County Galway, where we have a purpose-built community nursing home with a day case centre as part of it. When Covid came, the day care centre, Seven Springs, was closed. To date, there has been much confusion as to what is happening there. The service in the centre has been resumed one day a week and on...

Priority Questions: Community Care (20 Oct 2022)

Seán Canney: HIQA has no remit over day care centres. Why has somebody decided that the existing Seven Springs site is suitable one day a week? If it is suitable on Wednesday, why is it not suitable on Tuesday, Monday or Thursday? What is the logic in this? As I understand it, there are capacity issues in the nursing home and the people who are using the day service have been moved out to facilitate...

Priority Questions: Community Care (20 Oct 2022)

Seán Canney: Something is missing here. If HIQA has a role in day care services, did it approve the current location? I have seen a citation from the grandson of one of the service users. On her first day at the new location, she rang him at 11 p.m., crying and asking to be brought home. There is something fundamentally wrong here. This day service was purpose-built as a day centre; it was not...

Seán Canney: I was listening to the discussions and presentations from my office before I came here. I was a bit late for the match. This discussion is interesting, as Deputy Boyd Barrett alluded to, and many issues are being talked about that we should be talking about for longer and more effectively. Based on what Professor Kinsella is talking about, we may be letting the green-energy revolution...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Post-budget 2023 Examination: Discussion (19 Oct 2022)

Seán Canney: The Christmas bonus is the example one would hold up as a once-off that has become expected. If it did not happen next Christmas or the one after there would be war. We have brought in a huge amount of measures this year that are one-offs. Whether we can afford to keep them is the question. I think of the disability sector where the Indecon report said the additional living costs for...

Seán Canney: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Finance Bill 2022 and to address some of the queries that have been raised since the budget was announced. The energy supports for households are to be welcomed, but the problem is that there are anomalies in the whole process, and pay-as-you-go customers are not sure how they are going to get the credits or how it is going to work. That must be...

Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2022)

Seán Canney: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this important motion. I welcome its introduction. As the Minister knows, public transport is a rare species in the west of Ireland. We know all about it. I listened to some of Deputy Bríd Smith's comments about a 24-hour service and thought how happy people in parts of rural Ireland would be with a five-hour service. There are many things I...
