Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (29 Feb 2024)

Pauline Tully: I ask the Minister of State about anecdotal evidence of a 60% vacancy rate in Cavan's CDNT. Will she give an update on the vacancy rate both within Cavan and Monaghan CDNTs? I did not make reference to this in the previous question because I did not expect to reach this question today.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (29 Feb 2024)

Pauline Tully: Just this week, I became aware that the manager in the Cavan CDNT is on maternity leave. Is she going to be replaced? The lady who is currently covering the position is based in Navan but that may just be temporary. We really need a full-time manager in the service. A parent was in contact with me yesterday - and she is not alone in this situation - who was equally angry and upset and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (29 Feb 2024)

Pauline Tully: I fully agree with much of what Professor Ashe said. I want to see a border poll and a referendum. My party is consistently calling for a plan and preparation for that to happen. We cannot just walk into a referendum and a poll without preparation. I know we have been calling for a citizens' assembly but I think what Professor Ashe is talking about is a plan prior to that where we engage...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Development of a National Hearing Care Plan: Chime (28 Feb 2024)

Pauline Tully: Reference has been made to the national audiology review of 2011. I presume the purpose of the review was to assess the number of people with hearing loss who require help. Has another review been done since? How often should reviews be carried out? Why have none been carried out since 2011? Should they not be done more frequently to inform the State what services are required?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Development of a National Hearing Care Plan: Chime (28 Feb 2024)

Pauline Tully: It was said that many people only get hearing aids as a last resort, which is maybe because they do not want to be seen as getting older or whatever it is, but if people need corrective eyewear, they get glasses. Is the cost more of a deterrent, however? It may be both, which I presume will be addressed in the national hearing plan. The fact, for example, that dementia can be caused by...
