Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Health: Health Service Executive (18 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: There are 700 funded posts vacant plus funding for another 136. How many are working in total? What is the vacancy proportion?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Health: Health Service Executive (18 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: There are 836 funded vacancies, so the money is there. I would rather the HSE got 200 of them than two. I would rather that it got 40 of them than four. However, in any process, there has to be a target and an outcome. I recognise that it is probably unrealistic to hire 836 people next year. However, I would like to know what the management target is. If the HSE does recruitment and has...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Apologies have been received from Deputy Lawless, who is attending a joint policing event on community policing. I ask Members and witnesses to turn off their mobile phones or to switch them to flight mode as they interfere with the sound system, make it difficult for the reporters to cover the meeting and adversely affect television and web streaming. The purpose of our meeting is to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Inspection of Places of Detention Bill 2022: Discussion (18 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: What are the views of the representatives of the prison visiting committees on this?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Inspection of Places of Detention Bill 2022: Discussion (18 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: No, on the point more broadly. I want to try to capture their experience of day-to-day visiting because there are a number of different prison visiting committees around the country that feed into the witnesses and Dr. Conroy and Ms Ryan are representing them. Anybody watching would benefit from hearing from them about what they do and see on visits. I would like them to describe that to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Inspection of Places of Detention Bill 2022: Discussion (18 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I wanted to ask that to tease out the issue between the role of the prison visiting committees vis-à-visthe other structures and how that could and should work. I visited Cloverhill with Ms Ryan a little while ago and I visited Limerick, though without the prison visiting committee. On the communication between the governor, the people who are in prison and the staff, some of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Inspection of Places of Detention Bill 2022: Discussion (18 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I would like to bring in the IPRT and Dr. Garrihy. I want to reconcile this point because it is obvious we have been left with some space in the Bill. The heads even reference that there is a review going on, so it is clearly an open question for the Department. We might as well have the conversation now.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Inspection of Places of Detention Bill 2022: Discussion (18 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I agree. We can take the appointments piece as agreed, essentially because that is dealt within the Bill and because we know where that is going. It is a matter of what it does, of independence and of interaction. I agree with Ms Brady's distillation of the points. Does Dr. Garrihy have a view?
