Hospital Overcrowding: Motion [Private Members] (20 Nov 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank Deputy Donnelly for bringing forward this motion. I am a Galway Deputy and University Hospital Galway is always in the limelight for the wrong reasons with regard to trolleys. Today, there were 40 people waiting on trolleys in University Hospital Galway. On 4 November, there were 71. The Minister addressed the embargo and I wish to follow up on that. At present, we are waiting...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: Discussion (20 Nov 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank Dr. Muldoon and Dr. McAuley. I welcome the young adults in the Gallery. It is great to have them here as we mark the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. I thank the witnesses for finding the time to attend this meeting. I know they have left an event that they were hosting in Dublin Castle. I would like them to share with us and with the viewers who...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: Discussion (20 Nov 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: It is enlightening to hear it. I think it is a game-changer or a step-changer. We saw the event that was held in the Dáil last week on the initiative of the Ceann Comhairle. Dr. Muldoon's office is doing similar work. Young people need to feel that their voices are being heard. It is fantastic that the event is being live-streamed into schools around the country. I compliment Dr....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: Discussion (20 Nov 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: I met Tusla representatives on Monday when they were on its regional roadshow in Galway, and they talked about this particular project. That is a pilot that is taking place. If Dr. Muldoon had the magic ball in front of him, how many of these service centres would we need in Ireland? Ireland is not that big. It has taken ten years to bring that to pilot stage, so are we planning forward...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: Discussion (20 Nov 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: I compliment Senator Noone on what she said. Unless we, as adults, do not call this what it is, namely, bullying, harassment and inappropriate, how do we expect children to call it what it is? It is incumbent on us to step forward. It might be seen as weakness or not being able for it. We are able but we need to call it for what it is. Until such time as adults identify that this...

Supporting Children out of Emergency Accommodation and into Homes: Statements (21 Nov 2019)

The Oireachtas Joint Committees on Children and Youth Affairs and Housing, Planning and Local Government have spent a lot of time on this issue. They interviewed a large number of advocacy groups and those working in the area, including the Ombudsman for Children and Focus Ireland, among others. The resulting report, which was...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Direct Provision System (26 Nov 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: Nearly 2,000 children are in direct provision at the moment. It is regrettable that 30 of those children are failing to access education in Monaghan. I wonder if this problem has arisen because they are housed in temporary accommodation. Is that the problem behind it? If so, is there a way that the Departments of Justice and Equality and Education and Skills can ensure that, when we are...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Direct Provision System (26 Nov 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: To continue on from where my colleague left off, it seems there is no collaboration on this Topical Issue matter, even in terms of trying to get it organised here this evening. That has played out in terms of what has happened in Monaghan. We are an open nation, and we are welcoming, but we have to lead from the top. We need to ensure that all Departments are working together and that...
