- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Governance in Irish Athletic Boxing Association: Discussion (3 Nov 2021)
Imelda Munster: I note Mr. Kirwan said that it was anonymous and it is under investigation. However, it is hard to credit that he does not know.
- Nurses and Midwives: Motion [Private Members] (2 Nov 2021)
Imelda Munster: Healthcare staff have done Trojan work since Covid first hit and their contribution can never be quantified. The entire country owes them a debt of gratitude. Their hard work and dedication got us through this crisis and they continue to carry out that work in exceptionally difficult circumstances. Levels of burnout and exhaustion are at an all-time high as healthcare workers face into...

- Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Statements (21 Oct 2021)
Imelda Munster: October is breast awareness month. This is a very positive initiative in terms of promoting awareness and ensuring that everybody is breast aware. Early detection is absolutely vital when it comes to breast cancer because it saves lives. It is very important that everybody knows how and how often to check their breasts, what changes to look out for and what to do if one notices a change....
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Tusla, the Child and Family Agency - Financial Statements 2020 (21 Oct 2021) Imelda Munster: I want to ask Mr. Gloster about funding. He has stated publicly that his organisation needs between €80 million and €100 million. I understand the additional funding it has been provided with in budget 2022 amounts to €61 million. How will that affect Tusla's ability to provide its services?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Tusla, the Child and Family Agency - Financial Statements 2020 (21 Oct 2021) Imelda Munster: I am curious. Mr. Gloster said it was between €80 million and €100 million. Given that Tusla's caseload has increased by 23% on 2019, how will it affect service provision on the ground?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Tusla, the Child and Family Agency - Financial Statements 2020 (21 Oct 2021) Imelda Munster: I thank Mr. Gloster. He said earlier in response to other Deputies that his plan is to cut back on private providers. What he has just said is the budget allocation has pushed this back even further again. He will not be able to achieve what he wants. We do not want to be here this time next year with Mr. Gloster telling us Tusla had to put it back. It is clear from what he just said it...

Tusla, the Child and Family Agency - Financial Statements 2020 (21 Oct 2021) Imelda Munster: A short while ago, Mr. Gloster spoke about Tusla having to carry out inspections of private providers. He said it did its best in carrying out these inspections. Does Mr. Gloster have any idea what percentage Tusla is able to inspect in any given year?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Tusla, the Child and Family Agency - Financial Statements 2020 (21 Oct 2021) Imelda Munster: It is clearly putting Tusla under further strain. It is inspected by HIQA and it has to inspect private providers.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Tusla, the Child and Family Agency - Financial Statements 2020 (21 Oct 2021) Imelda Munster: Mr. Gloster does not have the figures and that is fair enough. What struck me when he said it was that surely in real terms the lack of ability to carry out this as thoroughly as Tusla would wish very much poses a real risk to children or families. I am speaking about real terms insofar as Tusla is limited in the number of inspections it can carry out on those providing care in the private...

Tusla, the Child and Family Agency - Financial Statements 2020 (21 Oct 2021) Imelda Munster: How many are on the team?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Tusla, the Child and Family Agency - Financial Statements 2020 (21 Oct 2021) Imelda Munster: I accept that entirely and in fact it is quite shocking. My point is if schools, crèches and private providers of care are counted, Tusla does not have the ability-----

On average this is 20 a year. Mr. Gloster said fewer than five had been placed on the strict improvement programme. Were any deemed not suitable to receive further funding?

Tusla, the Child and Family Agency - Financial Statements 2020 (21 Oct 2021) Imelda Munster: Could we get the details on those over the past five years?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Tusla, the Child and Family Agency - Financial Statements 2020 (21 Oct 2021) Imelda Munster: It is the HSE that carries out the audits. Who dictates how many are carried out in a given year? How is it determined which organisations are audited? How often are they audited?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Tusla, the Child and Family Agency - Financial Statements 2020 (21 Oct 2021) Imelda Munster: That is less than I thought. That is an average of less than 20 a year. As we stand today, has Tusla received all of the 2019 and 2020 financial statements from these organisations?
