Pa Daly: Mar gheall ar an gcúram maolaitheach, an bhfuil a lán difríochtaí idir na contaetha sa Stát seo?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Healthcare Provision and Healthcare Professionals: Discussion (17 Oct 2023)

Pa Daly: Two things stood out from what Dr. O'Shea said. In his submission to the committee, he said he was not advocating for dementia to be included in the legislation as a qualifying condition at this time. Does that mean he is open to including it at some stage? He also said he wanted to adopt a conservative approach initially. Does he mean that is what he wants initially with it being...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Healthcare Provision and Healthcare Professionals: Discussion (17 Oct 2023)

Pa Daly: I have a question that Professor Landers or Dr. Colleran might answer. One of the recommendations made by Irish Doctors supporting Medical Assistance in Dying is that a regime should be applicable to individuals over the age of 18 with a progressive, incurable and terminal illness. It has been stated that a definition of "terminal illness" will need to be specified in order that it would...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Agency Bill 2023: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2023)

Pa Daly: We are singing from the same hymn sheet here. I can withdraw my amendment No. 3 in favour of Deputy Ó Ríordáin's. Concern has been expressed by NGOs which want the agency to have more autonomy. We need more accountability. The Minister being directly responsible is not necessarily a negative thing, but there is a balance to be struck. I will withdraw my amendment and...

Financial Resolutions 2023 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (11 Oct 2023)

Pa Daly: The first issue I want to mention before I go into other issues is the recruitment ban that is currently in place in University Hospital Kerry for clerical and administrative staff. There are currently 50 whole-time equivalent, WTE, vacancies in that hospital in an area that has been traditionally under-resourced for years and where the administrative staff are underpinning every service...

Pa Daly: The report, which is five years old, was quite unequivocal and stated the absolute priority should be that front-line district police should have the resources to perform their core community safety duties.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (11 Oct 2023)

Pa Daly: This question gets down to police presence on the streets. Gardaí tell me that a lot of their time is taken up, apart from paperwork and inputting, doing non-police work. Five years ago, the Commission for the Future of Policing in Ireland suggested a lot of reform in non-core duties and taking gardaí of all levels away from non-core duties. What steps are being taken to...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (11 Oct 2023)

Pa Daly: I have a few points in relation to what the Minister said. I acknowledge the large amount in the budget and that the training allowance will be increased, which we called for. I also acknowledge that many civilian staff have been hired but the Department previously stated that, for every one civilian staff member hired, one garda could be deployed back to front-line duties. That has not...
