Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Schemes (31 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister. One cannot but make one's spake, if you know what I mean. I am glad to hear that Dún Laoghaire made an application because, of course, if it were the case that other councils had not had the same proactivity and made applications, funding may well have been available. Who knows, that might even be the case now? I was wondering about the supervision of the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Schemes (31 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister for that welcome update. I would love to get more information about the building acquisition measure she has announced and which is so constructive and positive. I know Dún Laoghaire seems like a Dublin town, but it is very much a community town with considerable vacancy and dereliction. Through Digital Dún Laoghaire and with the council, we are trying to...

Passport Services: Statements (26 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am sharing time with Deputy McAuliffe. When I was driving to the House this morning, I saw a queue outside the Passport Service office at 8.45 a.m. It was a long queue and it reminded me that today would be another day of passport issues to be dealt with by the team in my office, who are at their wits' end. I thank them for their work as well as that of the Passport Service. Every...

Irish Apprenticeship System: Statements (26 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister, Deputy Harris, for visiting a number of schools in my area in Dún Laoghaire this year to describe to them the new apprenticeship model that is an alternative to going to university, which seemed like the only option for many. The feedback from students, parents and teachers on these visits was excellent. They were a direct way of showcasing the work of the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Reviews (26 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I raise this matter on behalf of Rebecca Price and Pat Kiely, whose baby Christopher was wrongly diagnosed with a fatal foetal abnormality in Holles Street in March 2019. Baby Christopher's life was ended wrongly in 2019. The family has sought a review to make sure this does not happen to anybody else and that no other family grieves in the way Rebecca and Pat do on behalf of their baby and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Reviews (26 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am very glad to hear the Minister mention the role of clinical genetics. If they had been utilised in this case, this simply would not have happened. If there had been an external review, the parents would not have felt the need to go to the High Court to highlight the circumstances of this case. Hospitals cannot be allowed to review themselves. I thank the Minister for expanding the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Reviews (26 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That is essential. We have very eminent geneticists in this country as well. Dr. Willie Reardon, who was involved in this case, is a very eminent geneticist and has been a great support to Rebecca and Pat. I thank the Minister for confirming the appointment of Professor Lesley Regan. Rebecca and Pat have looked to meet with her and I hope that can be facilitated. Something going wrong...

Health Service Executive: Financial Statements 2020 (26 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I only want to discuss therapeutic services for autistic children. What will be done to try to make sure that people are getting assessments of need and the therapeutic services that they need? In my constituency, I have one child whose parents were told by the HSE that there was an assessment of need done on 10 May 2021. I questioned the parents about this and they were confused because...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: What does that mean? I ask Mr. Reid to speak to me in practical terms. I have a child who is waiting 26 months for an assessment. When is he likely to get an assessment under the new plan? If a child is born today down the road in Holles Street Hospital and an issue becomes apparent in the first year of his or her life, under the timeline for the interim solutions and new plan, when will...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: My point is that people do not get the services in a universal way. I am sorry to cut across Ms O'Connor. That may be so in some community healthcare organisation, CHO, areas. The witnesses will be aware that the Ombudsman for Children is doing a report on the consistency across CHO areas, which is due to be published in 2022. Certainly, in my own area of CHO 6, it is not so for the...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Then there is the additional complication of an intellectual disability being brought in with an assessment of need in respect of autism and how that can be an additional complicating and delaying factor.
