Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Insurance Cover for Crèches: Discussion (18 Dec 2019)

Robert Troy: I appreciate the Chairman's facilitating me to ask a couple of questions as I am not a member of the committee. Has the Minister personally met the CEOs of the insurance providers that have withdrawn from the market or of the sole provider who remains in the market?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Insurance Cover for Crèches: Discussion (18 Dec 2019)

Robert Troy: I think it would be a worthwhile exercise. The Minister has not yet been able to quantify the number of high-risk providers. As the broker or insurance provider is signalling that there will be a problem with high levels of risk, there is an awareness that a number of people will be in this category. If that were not the case, this issue would not have been raised in the course of the...

Robert Troy: Okay.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Insurance Cover for Crèches: Discussion (18 Dec 2019)

Robert Troy: If this is a requirement, it is possible that services will close. The Minister said earlier in reply to my colleague that the parents should be asking. If this is a requirement, Tusla must know whether providers have an insurance.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Insurance Cover for Crèches: Discussion (18 Dec 2019)

Robert Troy: We could not stand over such behaviour.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Insurance Cover for Crèches: Discussion (18 Dec 2019)

Robert Troy: I would like to make two final points. I am conscious that we are running short on time. I asked the Minister about meeting the company that withdrew in the context of the need to collect much-needed information. What was the reason or rationale for its withdrawal? Do we know whether it related to claims? Why did the provider in question withdraw? What needs to change to encourage and...

Section 39 Organisations: Motion [Private Members] (17 Dec 2019)

Robert Troy: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate and commend Sinn Féin on bringing forward this motion. I want to give an example of a facility in my constituency that shows the effects of the Government’s inaction on section 39 workers. I have been working closely with my colleague, Councillor Joe Flaherty, on highlighting the issues facing St. Christopher's Services...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Facilities (17 Dec 2019)

Robert Troy: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for being so flexible in the taking of this topic. It is third time lucky because I have sought to raise this matter for the past two weeks but it was not taken because no Minister from the Department of Health was available to reply. I take the opportunity to congratulate the community in Longford-Westmeath and the wider area on the fantastic community spirit...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Facilities (17 Dec 2019)

Robert Troy: The publication of the HSE plan today superseded much of this debate. Nonetheless, as the Minister of State has said, to facilitate the new building, the current ambulance service needs to be relocated. It is important to identify a temporary site that is fit for purpose. When it goes back to the permanent structure, that again must be fit for purpose. When will the HSE draft plan be...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Dec 2019)

Robert Troy: I will. This is surely a question the Taoiseach can answer. In reply to parliamentary questions tabled both by me and Deputy Michael McGrath on the number of times the Minister for Justice and Equality, the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation and the Minister for Finance met the heads of the insurance companies in Ireland, I was surprised to learn that in the past 12 months,...
