Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): General Practitioner Services Provision (24 Oct 2019)

Aindrias Moynihan: There are difficulties across the country but I need to be sure that the Minister of State recognises that local issues are making it more difficult for people to access GP services in Macroom than anywhere in else in the country. What we are looking for is to be able to compete on a level footing to fulfil that vacancy. The out-of-hours rota in the area, at one in seven, is over and above...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): General Practitioner Services Provision (24 Oct 2019)

Aindrias Moynihan: I am raising this issue because so many people, especially newer people in the Macroom area, are finding it increasingly difficult to get a local GP service.

They will often have to stay with their existing GP who could be many miles away in Killarney, Mallow, Ballincollig or anywhere up the country if they have moved to Macroom....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Social Insurance (23 Oct 2019)

Aindrias Moynihan: I thank the Minister for outlining the position. Farm assist replaces the former small farmer's dole. In the past, a limited number of people claimed the small farmer's dole who were at the same time, quite reasonably, caring for an elderly relative or minding children at home. Following the 2012 improvement, however, these people now find themselves excluded from claiming the carer's...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Child and Family Agency Staff (22 Oct 2019)

Aindrias Moynihan: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. Trust and the relationship with social workers are a significant key aspect of their role for the child and for getting results for them. I am pleased with the proposal to convert agency staff to permanent staff. There has been an emphasis on agency staff over the past while, with a 126% growth in the agency staff sector but only 3% growth in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Child and Family Agency Staff (22 Oct 2019)

Aindrias Moynihan: Continuity of care is the central aspect of this question, in the sense of a child being able to rely on having consistency and the same social worker being available to him or her. There seems to be an increased reliance on agency workers whereby there is more than a doubling of the number of agency workers. It is up 125% over the last four years while at the same time there is only a 3%...

Aindrias Moynihan: Ba mhaith liom rud éigin a chinntiú i m'aigne féin. Maidir leis an tástáil chaighdeánach, an mbeidh aon duine a bhíonn níos ísle ná an deichiú peircintíl sin i dteideal an díolúine? An mbeidh na daoine i dteideal an díolúine sin scaipthe thar na scoileanna go léir ar fud na tíre, scoileanna Gaeltachta,...
