Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Access to Community Neurological Rehabilitation Teams: Discussion (17 May 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: I may be wrong in thinking some of the issues there might be lifestyle based and could be better treated in a less specific way. If people are waiting six months for a neuropsychology service, perhaps the follow-up service we spoke about earlier would be better suited to them. Reference was made to prisoners and other people in carceral environments. If CHO 9 were further along in its...

Neasa Hourigan: 80. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if she will outline the work undertaken by her Department to support the 200 people facing redundancy from a company (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24359/23]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Redundancy Payments (23 May 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: Will the Minister outline the work undertaken by herself and the Department to support the approximately 200 people facing redundancy from the company Indeed?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Redundancy Payments (23 May 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: It sounds as though the Department has been very active on the issue. I wonder if Indeed has been active, however. This matter affects a number of people in my constituency. The text or bumf from the company states that it will offer individual consultations to staff facing redundancy and meaningful engagement but the reports I have heard are that this has not happened, or certainly not in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Redundancy Payments (23 May 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: I thank the Minister. It sounds like the Department is doing its piece in respect of the employees but the question is whether the company is subject to the kind of scrutiny that would ensure it is doing what it is required to do. I am not sure that is the case. All present are aware there is a natural ebb and flow of employees in the sector, and that is to be expected, but we should be...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (23 May 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: 83. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if she will outline her Department's plans to provide support for healthcare workers experiencing long Covid as a result of their service; her plans to provide recognition of long Covid under the section 87 of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24358/23]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (23 May 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: Will the Minister outline the Department's plans to provide support for healthcare workers experiencing long Covid as a result of their service? What are the Minister's plans to provide a recognition of long Covid under the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005? Can I have a statement on the matter?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (23 May 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: I thank the Minister. I am glad she brought up the principles of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005 because I argue that the people we sent into our hospitals - I do not just mean nurses and doctors but healthcare assistants, cleaners, and housekeeping and catering staff - were not able to shelter in place. They were not able to stay at home and mind themselves like the rest of us....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (23 May 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: Ireland has not always had the best history in dealing with post-viral illnesses, recognising them early and giving people supports. I welcome Deputy Colm Burke's comments. We have seen some countries in the EU recognise long Covid and provide social supports in respect of it. France, Italy, Denmark and Sweden have all accepted that Covid is not going away and, therefore, we will have...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Naval Service (24 May 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: Along with the Syrian refugee and human rights activist, Ms Sarah Mardini, Mr. Seán Binder was arrested in 2018 and accused by Greek authorities of espionage, aiding human trafficking and belonging to a criminal organisation. Mr. Binder, whose mother lives in Togher, has spent a significant part of his life in Ireland. In 2018, he volunteered as a lifeguard with a humanitarian NGO on...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Naval Service (24 May 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: I thank the Minister of State, and I welcome some of his comments about Operation Irini. The detail he gave is instructive because it shows that these operations and their funding are quite complex. They often stray into areas for which they were not originally envisaged, but they also have to be dealt with. Our funding should operate in a similar way. The way in which the Government...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Strategies (24 May 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: Under core activities in the statement of strategy, policing reform and community safety are cited four times. This week, the Commissioner of An Garda Síochána stated that the far right is not growing. That may appear to be the case from the Commissioner's office, but to migrants it very much feels like it is growing. The Constitution protects the right of people who live in this...

Ceisteanna - Questions: An Garda Síochána (24 May 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: 21. To ask the Taoiseach if he will provide an update on the work of the policing reform implementation programme office in his Department. [24232/23]
