- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Closure of Owenacurra Centre: Engagement with HSE (14 Dec 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: We just had a discussion about putting people into the community which Mr. Kane and I both know mostly means normal houses. The idea that we would always have single-storey buildings is extraordinary. I have never come across it. The benefit to people who have mental health difficulties of a site that is in the centre of a town would be significant. I cannot understand the choice to make...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Closure of Owenacurra Centre: Engagement with HSE (14 Dec 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: We could debate the insulation qualities or the possible retrofits on Roh-fab but we would probably bore everybody at this stage. I know I have only two minutes so I have a quick comment and question. It is incredibly frustrating when asking about 24-hour residential for the answer to speak about community mental health teams and people's placement in home care. Characterising A Vision for...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Closure of Owenacurra Centre: Engagement with HSE (14 Dec 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: It certainly sounds like the witnesses are saying that. They have said there are zero plans for places in east Cork because we have community mental health teams, home care and weekend cover. That is the answer that has been repeated three or four times during this session.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Closure of Owenacurra Centre: Engagement with HSE (14 Dec 2021)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Closure of Owenacurra Centre: Engagement with HSE (14 Dec 2021)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Closure of Owenacurra Centre: Engagement with HSE (14 Dec 2021)

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Jan 2022)
Neasa Hourigan: I have a question around the changes to the LPT we saw in 2021. It has been stated by the Minister for Finance that there will be no change to the Exchequer as a result of the post-2013 houses coming on stream and the new scheme in general. Would it be possible for the Taoiseach to confirm whether that means the extra money will be retained for self-funding by local authorities? I am aware...
- Violence Against Women: Statements (19 Jan 2022)
Neasa Hourigan: I welcome the debate around this issue and the statements of our Ministers on the changes in direction that may be undertaken as regards gender-based violence in 2022. It was important to include an audit of Department actions on this issue in the programme for Government. I know how seriously the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Deputy O'Gorman, and the...
