- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Nursing Homes (2 May 2024)
Cathal Crowe: The Minister of State will know about this question because we recently discussed it in a lot of detail. Will she give consideration to a new capital funding stream to support the voluntary nursing home sector in meeting HIQA requirements and providing for all of the upgrades required each year, which are quite costly? Before I resume my seat, I will congratulate the Minister of State,...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Nursing Homes (2 May 2024)
Cathal Crowe: We had a very positive meeting last week with the Oireachtas Members from Clare. We met Marie O'Malley, representing Carrigoran House, and Michael Harty, formerly of this House, representing the home at Cahercalla. Both of those community hospitals provide fabulous care. These are outstanding facilities in our county providing healthcare to those at an advanced stage of life who have...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Nursing Homes (2 May 2024)
Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister of State. That meeting sounds very positive. Long ago I used to believe the budget was set each autumn but I know work on the new budget has already begun. It is positive the Minister of State has had those negotiations and talks. Even though we are talking about our country's older population, a comparison could be drawn with childcare at the other end of the age...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Nursing Homes (2 May 2024)
Cathal Crowe: Can I correct the record? I said "public childcare" but I meant childcare providers that are engaged with ECCE contracts. There is no public childcare per se.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Relating to the Provision of Dentistry Services: Discussion (1 May 2024)
Cathal Crowe: I join others in welcoming our witnesses. I apologise for not being here earlier this morning because I was at another meeting. I do not mind who answers my first question. We are now more au fait with the number of doctors and nurses in acute hospitals who have come into Ireland from beyond the European Economic Area after availing of D visas. Do the witnesses have any metrics on...

Cathal Crowe: Can I ask-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Relating to the Provision of Dentistry Services: Discussion (1 May 2024)
Cathal Crowe: Okay. I will explain the reason I ask. This is anecdotal. I am not a dentist and have no training or expertise in any of this. When the war in Ukraine was kicking off and we had many Ukrainians arriving in our country, I recall a Ukrainian-qualified dentist making contact with my office. She said she had identical qualifications that could have worked in Ireland but she felt that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Relating to the Provision of Dentistry Services: Discussion (1 May 2024)
Cathal Crowe: Is the examination pathway comparable with what colleagues in general practice face? Do doctors and nurses who come into this country also face examinations? Again, anecdotally, I have heard that the steps dentists must take to become a fully practising dentist here are rather excessive and punitive. That is what I have been told. Admittedly, it was 18 months ago that I had the meeting I...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Relating to the Provision of Dentistry Services: Discussion (1 May 2024)
Cathal Crowe: I get the points that have been made, and perhaps I am being simplistic, but yesterday, in a different realm, Ireland decided what countries are safe for migration purposes, which is a broad and sweeping statement. Surely some analogy can be drawn with that. If there are other countries beyond the EEA, for example, Ukraine, where the system of education, training and practice is similar to...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Relating to the Provision of Dentistry Services: Discussion (1 May 2024)
Cathal Crowe: On whose head it is to strike that agreement? Is it for the Minister for Health or the Dental Council to do that?
