Liam Quaide: I echo Deputy Clarke's points. The Minister of State said last week that it was important not to tie the hands of psychiatrists in this regard because they often have to make very difficult decisions at critical times and may not have a bed available in a CAMHS inpatient unit. This is a valid concern for a psychiatrist in that particular context. What we are doing here, however, is...

- Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Jun 2025)
Liam Quaide: I thank the witnesses very much for being here today. In recent years, the problems in children's disability network teams and, indeed, child and adolescent mental health services have been well acknowledged and documented, and there have been efforts to address those. However much of a distance we have to go with that, the first stage is acknowledging the scale of the difficulties....

Liam Quaide: I want to take up the point about the psychology trainee posts. An additional 45 psychology trainee placements were announced, which was very welcome. Initially, the psychology managers had been told that, through the pay and numbers strategy, this would not affect recruitment outside of that. I know that in some parts of the country, areas are being asked to forfeit posts in order to make...

On 8 April, I submitted parliamentary questions to all regional health areas separately on primary care psychology waiting lists. I asked for the years and months spent waiting, as well as the longest wait time. What the HSE...

Liam Quaide: I emailed Mr. Gloster about another point. I do not know if he had a chance to look at it. Due to my role in mental health I have a strong focus on people with severe and enduring mental health difficulties. They fall under the ambit of this committee, particularly given the focus we have on the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities. This is a cohort of people who...

Mr. Gloster mentioned the progress that has happened with the Owenacurra Centre. Two houses have been acquired in Midleton, which is brilliant. That rebuild is stalled but it is going through the planning process. My experience of that campaign, and that of...
