Neasa Hourigan: Most of the rooms in St. Stephen's Hospital do not comply with the room sizes that the commission is implying are unfit for purpose in Owenacurra. There is no consistency. In its discussion of St. Stephen's Hospital, the commission rarely referred to the fact that residents are sharing rooms. We know that some of the residents from Owenacurra have been moved not just to other facilities,...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Decongregation of Mental Health Settings: Mental Health Commission (8 Dec 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: No. I am out of time, unfortunately. I would like to go back to Saol Nua with Dr. Finnerty. I am under the impression that the commission did an inspection there. Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Decongregation of Mental Health Settings: Mental Health Commission (8 Dec 2022)
Neasa Hourigan: Okay, I just wanted to be clear on that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Decongregation of Mental Health Settings: Mental Health Commission (8 Dec 2022)
Neasa Hourigan: Fine, but the commission did an inspection and wrote a report. Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Decongregation of Mental Health Settings: Mental Health Commission (8 Dec 2022)
Neasa Hourigan: If the commission does an inspection and writes a report but is not regulating the facility, then it is not taking responsibility for the impact of that report. The commission is publishing a report on Saol Nua but saying that it does not regulate it.
