Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (15 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: If ever there was a scheme that epitomised the lack of planning, co-ordination and consistency by the Government to a level that was almost calculated to cause division, it is the pandemic bonus payment. The 11 officers in the stores and material management department of University Hospital Kerry changed their shifts and organised PPE in the hospital and in the community, as well as doing...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Ukraine War (15 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: The efforts of the Civil Service, civil society and ordinary communities in welcoming Ukrainian people to Ireland have been nothing short of extraordinary but surely the recent allocation of responsibility for integration to the Minister of State, Deputy Joe O’Brien, is an acknowledgement that the Government's response needs a more focused approach. That Minister of State already has...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cancer Services (16 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: When a patient has been diagnosed with cancer and their life is in turmoil, the first thing they need is a bit of stability. Oncology patients who have to attend University Hospital Kerry have been at various stages in the palliative care unit, then there was a proposal to send them to a private hospital and they are currently in the day ward. What plans does the Minister have to give...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cancer Services (16 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: I have also been in contact with the new general manager and I wish her well in her endeavours over the next few years. However, while I hear what the Minister is saying in regard to capital stages and the design team, the Minister still has not given a date as to when he expects the new permanent unit to be completed. He is right in referencing palliative care but, from 1 March, I...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cancer Services (16 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: Can the Minister even give a year as to when he expects this to be open? He mentioned the problem with day surgery. The problem in the last three or four years has been that whenever there is a surge, whether due to Covid or otherwise, elective day surgeries are the first to be cancelled. On any given day, University Hospital Kerry cannot guarantee that an elective surgery will actually...

Co-ordination of International Protection Services: Statements (16 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: It is nearly two years since the Government published its White Paper on ending direct provision. This followed on from the Catherine Day report into the system and recommendations from the Joint Committee on Justice. Both offered some hope of an end to the inhumane system of direct provision, which is totally inefficient and expensive and where one provider earned €400 million....

Pa Daly: Arising from what the Minister has said and the Second Stage of the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022 last week, I know we are awaiting the facial recognition technology aspect. When does the Minister think that legislation will be ready? I know the Commissioner committed to a pilot programme. In advance of that, will the Minister commit to some sort of independent...

Pa Daly: If someone today wanted a trial date in the Circuit Criminal Court in Dublin, he or she would get one in 2025. The waiting period in Dundalk is also bad. In Kerry, someone would be waiting for longer than two years to get a trial date. Of course, that might differ in circumstances where a child is involved, for example. Someone would be waiting 15 to 18 months in the Central Criminal...

Pa Daly: I wish to ask a supplementary question. It would be wrong of me to let this opportunity go without mentioning the decision taken recently by Kerry County Council to give a portion of ground to the Courts Service for the construction of a new courthouse. Notwithstanding that the decision was taken by a full vote of Kerry County Council, it would be a mistake to move the existing court...
