Paul McAuliffe: I move amendment No. 36: In page 40, between lines 22 and 23, to insert the following: “55.There will be a requirement for political parties to provide full transparency on their property portfolio including proof of property purchase funds.”. I welcome the work that has been done in the background by the Minister on this issue, as well as the amendments that have been...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Committee Stage (31 May 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: Whether the Department is willing to make this commitment or if it needs to be made in legislation, the amendment has the merits the Deputies described, particularly as regards younger people. It is obvious there are many issues affecting young people, for example, mental health, employment and major economic decisions the country makes during periods of growth and contraction. We should...

Paul McAuliffe: In the context of some of my own amendments which we will be dealing with later, specifically amendment No. 74 where I propose to prohibit online advertising, I ask the Minister of State to take on board the widespread concern expressed by members of this committee. We feel that in many ways, the regulations regarding online political advertising are really a facilitation of it. I do not...
- Passport Services: Statements (26 May 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: When a debate of this nature occurs in the House it is due to a failure of a State service to deliver the service people expect. Whether that is medical cards, access to services for people with disabilities or older people, or, in this case, passports, the issue is an important one. It is sometimes thought that access to a passport or travel is a frivolity or luxury and other issues are...

Health Service Executive: Financial Statements 2020 (26 May 2022) Paul McAuliffe: With respect, I am just making sure we get to make our contributions. Other members have speaking slots elsewhere and we all time our time. We always try to get our questions and answers within the ten minutes. We have had a supplementary slot by the Chair in regard to waiting lists, and also Deputy Murphy. My point is that we have a second round. It is not fair on other members.

Health Service Executive: Financial Statements 2020 (26 May 2022) Paul McAuliffe: I thank the witnesses for being here today. It is the first opportunity for us with all of them present to acknowledge what has taken place over the past two years. Some of the witnesses were more visible in the battle against Covid than others. That speaks to the hundreds of thousands of people in the HSE, in particular, those working in hospitals and as carers. I acknowledge that now...

Health Service Executive: Financial Statements 2020 (26 May 2022) Paul McAuliffe: What is worrying, however, for many of the people who come to me seeking mental health services is that money could be allocated and they would not see the service outcome. Is there a perceived acceptable level of time or lag before that sort of money can be delivered into service delivery? There is a real frustration, especially in mental health services. Perhaps I might be better...

Health Service Executive: Financial Statements 2020 (26 May 2022) Paul McAuliffe: The real frustration is particularly around weekend and out-of-hours access to mental health services. Perhaps I am wrong about some parts of the country, but I still find it alarming that on-call consultants are available in adult out-of-hours mental health services, but the same on-call consultants are not available for child mental health. They are both paid the same amount of money. I...

Health Service Executive: Financial Statements 2020 (26 May 2022) Paul McAuliffe: It has been good to see Ms O'Connor acknowledge that. It is incredibly serious for the families affected. I was very pleased to be the third speaker this morning because it was after 10 a.m. I understand the HSE capital plan was published this morning at 10 a.m., which means the witnesses can answer my questions on it now. I was very pleased to see a couple of projects in particular. I...
