Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The redevelopment of some of the other projects is really very important. The Cloverhill remand project comes to mind. It is not the Minister of State, but I would be worried if the Department was not able to progress more than one project at a time. Clearly, one can be engaged in design of one project while completing the fit-out of Limerick Prison, which is very considerably advanced...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I have a supplementary question on the prisons. Deputy Martin Kenny was speaking about addiction services. Going back to the issue of women's prisons, I refer to Dóchas. Obviously, Limerick caters for people who have much longer sentences primarily, even from Dublin. In Dóchas, there is a particular concern that the bulk of people who are there are suffering from sexual trauma,...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: They have no money either. People do not leave money for the tuckshop either. I have spoken with the governor of Limerick Prison. I am also a member of the Committee of Public Accounts, and I do not ever want us to have a situation where we are criticising the governor for getting different types of products into the prison, whether period products, shampoo or different things like that,...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The Minister of State made some strong announcements that I very much support concerning the expansion of the Garda youth diversion programme and the consultation regarding 18- to 24-year-olds. He secured an additional €6 million or €7 million for Garda youth diversion projects. Some of that funding came from last year as well, but it looks to me like there is a budget of...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I agree with everything the Minister of State said. I am sorry for having raised a subject, Garda youth diversion projects, covered in the justice Vote, but I presume that juvenile liaison officers come under the Garda Vote. Let us continue.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: One of the gaps or points of concern in this area is that the Garda Youth Diversion Bureau in Harcourt Square makes the decisions as to whether to prosecute young people or to put them on the youth diversion programme. In this regard, one of the concerns I have had for many years is that when a referral is made, whether it is for a welfare referral, an anger management course, a sexual...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I note 92 trainee gardaí started in Templemore yesterday, which is welcome. There were difficulties with recruitment this year and there is underspending on that, which the Minister of State has accounted for. There are many different reasons for that to look at in the future. What is the plan for recruitment for next year to make sure we do not have that underspend? We do not...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister of State. It looks like there is a 33% increase in the overtime budget, having accounted for the underspend on recruitment, which is in the Minister of State's notes. It is an extraordinary additional spend on overtime. I note the significant reasons for that, including the investigation of organised and serious crime, which remains a significant concern for An Garda...

Abuse at Certain Educational Institutions: Statements (24 Nov 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: It is with tremendous sadness that I again contribute to deeply important statements on abuse at certain education institutions, specifically Willow Park Junior School and Blackrock College, which are located in the geographic heart of my constituency. I will speak about four issues, namely, first and foremost, the survivors, as well as the broader school community in my constituency, the...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I wish to ask the Tánaiste again about the implementation of the sexual offences Bill where we would have legal representation for victims of sexual assault. I met with Aimee Foley who very bravely became a public advocate for this in challenging her own father and the difficulty she faced in terms of communication with the DPP and understanding court process would be made easier by...
