Joint Committee On Health: Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I am not a member of the committee but decided I would butt in. I apologise. I was told we had the guts of an hour. I listened to a considerable amount of the discussion before I made my journey in and as Deputy Ward said, it has been incredibly useful. Some of the questions I was going to ask have been answered. I will do what I generally do and engage in a brain dump. I might add that...

Joint Committee On Health: Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Everyone has spoken about intergenerational trauma. People all come from a different place and the damage is already done.

Comóradh Sheachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (9 Mar 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: -----agus Instagram ach tá cuid mhór fadhbanna maidir leis sin. Sin an fhadhb atá agam faoi láthair. Táimid ag caint ar an nGaeilge agus an fhadhb atá againn ná nach bhfuil go leor daoine ag labhairt Gaeilge istigh nó lasmuigh den scoil. Tá cuid mhór fadhbanna ann.

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Will the Minister of State consider local authorities' definition of "adequately housed", where grown adults are living in their parents' home or another house, are deemed to be adequately housed and, on that basis, are not then included on the social housing list? They meet the other criteria like income thresholds and such. In some cases they feel they are forced into seeking private...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Provision (9 Mar 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I will come back on that because there are a huge number of people who find that, if they are living in their parents' home, they will be told they are adequately housed. If someone is in a situation of technical overcrowding or whatever, he or she will then be eligible to get on the housing list.

That is accepting there are people who have huge issues around some of the...
