Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 32 - Business, Enterprise and Innovation (Revised) (27 Mar 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: We will see. Subhead B6 refers to subscriptions to international organisations. I raised this previously with the Minister of State, Deputy Halligan. He seems to be on the same page as me but the Government has not got there yet. I refer to the application to join European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN. Have we done anything about that? Has there been a meeting with CERN?

Vote 32 - Business, Enterprise and Innovation (Revised) (27 Mar 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister of State for his presentation. Under subhead C8, an extra €350,000 has been allocated to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, CCPC. For what specific purpose is that allocation? My understanding - I could be wrong - is that an EU directive to tackle unfair trading practices has been agreed and a competent authority in Ireland will be needed to...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Overcrowding (13 Mar 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: This question follows on from Question No. 2, which was taken earlier. Having spoken to nurses' unions, I understand there is a concern that University Hospital Limerick will lose 17 inpatient beds in the coming weeks due to the closure of ward 1A. The Minister of State announced earlier that five additional beds are being provided under the winter programme. He also mentioned that 17 beds...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Drug and Alcohol Task Forces (13 Mar 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: As the Minister of State knows, funding for local and regional drug and alcohol forums and task forces is vital in the fight against drug and alcohol addiction, which has had a devastating effect in many of our communities. Is the funding provided to these task forces sufficient to meet the aims of the national drugs strategy which we all want to succeed? I have grave concern that it will...

I note the additional funding announced in advance of the motion Sinn Féin tabled last week on the topic, but it is not enough....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services Staff (13 Mar 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: CAMHS are in utter disarray. At the end of 2018, approximately 2,560 children and young adults were on the CAMHS waiting list and almost 300 of them had waited for more than a year to be seen. In my CHO area, which includes Limerick, approximately 245 children and young people are on waiting lists for assessments, while 60 of them have waited for more than a year. As the Minister of State...

Maurice Quinlivan: I have lost count of the number of times I have come into this Chamber to ask the Minister when substantial action will be taken to address the horrendous overcrowding in University Hospital Limerick, yet nothing has been done.
