Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Update on Child and Family Services: Tusla (10 Dec 2015)

Robert Troy: If Tusla is as successful as the catchphrase he quoted was in that general election for that particular party, we would be doing okay. I thank Mr. Jeyes and his colleagues for coming before us today and for giving us a breakdown of the plans and proposals and some of the work that has been ongoing in Tusla since its formation. I am not going to make any comments except to ask a few...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Update on Child and Family Services: Tusla (10 Dec 2015)

Robert Troy: I also referred previously to a women's refuge centre in Mullingar which received a letter one day to say its funding had been cut for the coming year because the service being provided is being reviewed and domestic abuse services for women in the midlands are being streamlined.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Update on Child and Family Services: Tusla (10 Dec 2015)

Robert Troy: Does Mr. Jeyes think it is fair that these organisations are under review and that funding streams to them are being cut before the review is complete, not taking on board the good work they are doing in their communities?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Update on Child and Family Services: Tusla (10 Dec 2015)

Robert Troy: What is the figure for a full complement of social workers in the organisation and what percentage of that complement is in place? Mr. Jeyes said that while Dr. Muldoon's report was welcome and shone a necessary light, it relied on outdated figures. Will Mr. Jeyes tell us exactly how many cases remain unassessed?

Robert Troy: I welcome the Minister and his officials. I will try to contribute in the good spirit of the Minister when he concluded his presentation. Mr. Jeyes was before us this morning and highlighted the alarming issue of the IT support Tusla is receiving from the HSE. I am not in any way criticising the Minister but I believe he needs to intervene. Tusla is receiving support in the region of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Children and Youth Issues: Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (10 Dec 2015)

Robert Troy: I want to make a point on the Oberstown centre. I am delighted to hear the Secretary General is due to meet senior management there. To clarify, I agree totally with the amalgamation of service because I do not want to see duplication. I also want to make a point on the staffing issue which is backed up by the fact that the Minister is in the fourth round of advertisements for personnel to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Children and Youth Issues: Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (10 Dec 2015)

Robert Troy: I thought we would have an opportunity to ask more questions. I am glad Ms McNally clarified this, because my point on community employment workers is that some of them have a level 6 qualification. I argued it should not have been extended by a year, but the Minister did so. The eligibility criteria of community employment schemes mean the people on them are allowed to work a maximum of...

Bankruptcy (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (15 Dec 2015)

Robert Troy: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate and I compliment my constituency colleague for ensuring this legislation was brought forward. This is one of the first backbench Bills to be enacted during the Government's five-year term. While I compliment my colleague, it is a great shame on the part of the Government parties that they have introduced Friday sittings and lauded...

Bankruptcy (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (15 Dec 2015)

Robert Troy: The legislation will, hopefully, reach new levels in addressing the crisis endured by so many people over the past number of years. It will amend the Bankruptcy Act 1988 by reducing the automatic period for discharge from bankruptcy from three years to one year; reducing the term of bankruptcy payment orders from five years to three years; providing that where the family home has not been...
