- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (2 Jun 2022) Neasa Hourigan: I presume the Centre for Effective Services has the various figures that we spent on the 2017 to 2021 plan. We looked at this in 2021 and of 149 actions, 12 were fully complete. These figures could be out of date. Obviously there are actions that are ongoing, but is there a ballpark of how many actions were complete at the close of the 2021 plan? What was the spend over the course of that...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (2 Jun 2022) Neasa Hourigan: It is probably contained in the contract that there is a significant population of Roma in my constituency. It is often a huge challenge to ensure we have the language capabilities and translators when we reach out to groups. Is Ms Baxter confident the proposal contained in the contract with the Centre for Effective Services will be able to do this?

- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (2 Jun 2022) Neasa Hourigan: I am trying to get at sense of what the process is like. It is between the Departments and not necessarily for public review. A vast array of services in Ireland cover disability and they sometimes sit in two camps. Was an audit done based on a rights-based approach to disability services? I am also a member of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Disability Matters and I am running between...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (2 Jun 2022) Neasa Hourigan: Mr. McCarthy rightly identified that the transfer is from the Department of Health and not the Department of Social Protection. There are many services in various programmes. For clarity, was there any point at which all of the services were set out and then identified as being best suited for the Department with responsibility for equality and inclusion? Was it constrained to transferring...
