Erin McGreehan: I welcome the Minister of State to the Seanad. What I raise today is a passion for youth work and clubs, and it is something I am interested in.

I have learned about funding from engaging with Youth Work Ireland and with Caroline Flanagan, who does incredible work in Dundalk and all around...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Youth Work Supports (26 Sep 2023)

Erin McGreehan: I cannot disagree with anything the Minister of State said in her speech. I want to highlight that there is a level of bureaucracy that comes from the ETB and someone has to be picked to deal with this. I want a national framework for clarity. Each ETB deals with things differently. I know it is a localised base, but really the people on the ground know. There is not a uniformity across...

Erin McGreehan: I welcome Mr. Hennessy this morning. It is nice to see him in person and, after the email correspondence, to put a face to the emails. I thank him for his contribution.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Increased Employment Participation, Self-employment and Entrepreneurship for People with Disabilities: Discussion (13 Jul 2023)

Erin McGreehan: No, but it is one place. It is one course. Departments and Enterprise Ireland all spoke about Professor Cooney's course. When we are pushing for budgetary changes for budget 2024, what are the asks? Is it a change in that partial capacity payment? Is it a movement from social welfare, away from that medical model or benefit model, towards an employment support scheme in the Department...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Health Services (4 Jul 2023)

Erin McGreehan: I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach, and the Minister of State is very welcome to the Chamber today. I wish to discuss the investment into community rehabilitation teams across the country, but more specifically with regard to my own community health organisation, CHO, 8, which County Louth is part of. As the Minister of State knows, CHO 8 represents Laois, Offaly, Longford, Westmeath, Louth...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Health Services (4 Jul 2023)

Erin McGreehan: I would almost cede my time to the Minister of State because what she is doing is incredibly impressive, as is across all her brief. The Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, has always had her hand on the pulse of what is going on at a local level and national level regarding disability care, neuro teams, and all of that. I am scrambling to take notes on all of what she has been doing over...

As a public representative, the Minister of State knows...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Disability Services (20 Jun 2023)

Erin McGreehan: The Minister of State outlined a fairly depressing picture of staff vacancies in County Louth. I am aware the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, is absolutely relentless and that it is also up to us to be relentless in this cause and in pushing the HSE to implement the recommendations of all these reviews and scoping exercises. We must work. The HSE has a responsibiltiy to pull out all...
