Finance (Covid-19 and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Second Stage (9 Mar 2022)

Thomas Gould: We talk about the rising cost of fuels and worry about the upset this is causing people. I am being contacted by people who worked on the front line during Covid-19 wondering if there are any details on when and to whom the bonus will be paid. While Ministers are kite-flying about further restrictions to the eligibility, people are waiting on this and are relying on it in some cases. There...

Proposal for a Council Decision on Hate Speech and Hate Crime: Motion (9 Mar 2022)

Thomas Gould: We have all watched the devastation and the scenes in Ukraine recently. Perhaps the most devastating of all of these images were those of families being ripped apart and of women and children and, in some cases, children on their own travelling across borders. I am very aware that thousands of these children and women will be coming to Ireland in the coming weeks. Some have already come....

Flexible and Remote Work: Motion [Private Members] (9 Mar 2022)

Thomas Gould: At this moment in time in this State, we are being squeezed on all sides due to the rising cost of living, inaccessible healthcare, the mental health impact of a two-year pandemic and the stress of returning to the office. God forbid that a worker, couple or family might want to rent or buy a house of their own. I know the Government cannot solve all these issues overnight, but there are...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (8 Mar 2022)

Thomas Gould: To be honest, I am shocked and flabbergasted by the comments of the Minister of State. Keltoi worked with people in addiction or with serious and complex mental health issues. He has come in here two years after its closure to tell us it will remain closed. That is not good enough. These are people who have serious issues. Is the Department of Health or the HSE using Covid-19 as a way of...

Thomas Gould: That is a cop-out.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (8 Mar 2022)

Thomas Gould: This is the closure of a facility by the back door using the cover of Covid. It is scandalous.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (8 Mar 2022)

Thomas Gould: The Keltoi rehabilitation unit was closed in March 2020. We were promised at the time that it was a temporary closure due to Covid-19. It is still closed today. Why? There are serious issues with addressing dual diagnosis in this State. Addiction is often caused by trauma, but so too are serious mental health difficulties. When they are presented together, people often have nowhere to...

Thomas Gould: Will the Minister consider expanding funding to the citizen science mapping project?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Further and Higher Education (8 Mar 2022)

Thomas Gould: OpenLitterMap is a citizen science project established in Cork city, following a very simple concept. People see litter and they record it. This project has the potential to assist local authorities in targeting areas where there is constant litter and also in helping communities to identify litter black spots. This research gets no funding from the Department, which is very disappointing....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Further and Higher Education (8 Mar 2022)

Thomas Gould: As I said, in the 1990s the derelict sites register was established and after speaking to the Department, we still do not have data about the derelict sites that are littering every community in the State. That is where a citizen science mapping project would be vital. Citizens could take photographs and upload them to a central database. We would be engaging with the community to tackle a...
