Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Issues Surrounding Water Quality and Supply: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: You might have heard the question I put to the EPA and the HSE regarding the security risk at water treatment facilities and whether we had sufficient cybersecurity and physical security in place to prevent a malicious attack on somewhere like Ballymore Eustace which provides 40% of our water supplies. Is that something Irish Water can comment on? What measures are in place?

Paul McAuliffe: If I could be given the times taken to see patients on the general waiting lists, it would be beneficial. To tackle the problem and prevent what has happened in one CHO area from happening in others, bearing in mind that there is a bit of a postcode lottery in that some lists are much longer than others, an audit was to be carried out across the whole country. I do not know whether that...

Paul McAuliffe: I acknowledge that more work is being done, but clearly there is increased demand. We have to match that. On Mr. Reid’s point about communications, I want to move on to the disability side because it is one of the areas I find so frustrating. Let me outline my experience. Young mothers and fathers regularly tell me they have had a chat with their child’s school or...

Paul McAuliffe: I have one comment. We have done a lot of work in getting new ASD classes in mainstream schools. The Taoiseach has indicated that we are going to go further and put an obligation on all education providers to include people with disabilities. Many of those teachers are realising the problems parents have. We can open these classes but if we do not have treatments and therapies, we are not...

The general scheme of the Bill concerning maternity leave for councillors was with the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage last week and is welcome.
