Imelda Munster: That is exceptionally long too. If a person goes for a job in any other sector they ask how much notice must the interviewee give. If the person says it is two weeks they say "Oh brilliant, start then in a fortnight".

Imelda Munster: No, but other professions have managed to go through the vetting process and that. It is public knowledge - and I am not saying this to be insulting - that the recruitment process for applying for a job in the HSE takes forever.

Imelda Munster: The HSE, as the service provider, is the last place, not the disability area. They have trained and qualified in the field.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (25 Jan 2024)

Imelda Munster: Let me rephrase it so, a Cheann Comhairle. If there were concerns that there were any breaches of the FOI Act or the Local Government Act, would the Tánaiste have serious concerns about those breaches, and what would the Government actually do? Would it look at reforming the FOI Act, or indeed what safeguards exist when local authorities breach them? Is that a matter he takes...

Gaza and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2024)

Imelda Munster: The horrors Israel has been committing in Gaza since October are frankly indescribable. I think I speak for most people when I say we watch TV screens and we cannot believe what we are watching because of the utter barbarity of it and also the fact nobody is doing anything to stop it. The civilian population of Gaza have been subject to the most depraved, indiscriminate bombing campaign in...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Football Association of Ireland's Facility Investment Vision and Strategy, and Governance Issues: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Imelda Munster: First, it is extremely disappointing to hear of the latest fiasco around the CEO's pay given all that we had all gone through with governance in the FAI. The grassroots have been badly let down and I am disappointed to see more of the same attitude today. Mr. Barrett was appointed the independent chairperson and the thinking behind his appointment was to have a white knight. Given all...
