Vote 41 - Policing Authority (7 Apr 2022) Colm Burke: My apologies for not being able to join earlier. Forgive me if I go over areas that have already been covered. I was caught on some other issues during the day. I thank Ms Hall for her presentation, which I have read.

Vote 41 - Policing Authority (7 Apr 2022) Colm Burke: I will go back to the multi-agency approach. I was involved in a project in Blackpool, Cork, with the local gardaí. This is going back 15 or 18 years, when local gardaí worked very closely with the community, such as, for example, in respect of instances where young people dropped out of school. When we did a survey of the people who had come through the training schemes there, we...

Vote 41 - Policing Authority (7 Apr 2022) Colm Burke: The other issue that needs to be taken into account is the cost issue. For instance, when I was chair of the board, I remember having to spend a lot of money that I did not have and being rapped on the knuckles for spending it. It was costing us approximately £600,000 at the time to provide services for about 50 young people. If four of them were in custody, that £600,000 would...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Apr 2022)
Colm Burke: I am next on the list to ask questions. I will be very brief. My first question relates to Sláintecare and the implementation of it at a regional level. On the replacement of the independent chair for the consultant contract negotiations, that person retired back in December because they were appointed at High Court. A new chair has not been appointed. We now have a scenario where...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Apr 2022)
Colm Burke: We have moved to a situation in four major medical facilities, namely, Donegal, Sligo, Mayo and Kerry, where they cannot get applicants for jobs. Many of the consultant posts are now one in two. What is Mr. Watt's answer for dealing with that issue? We were talking about Sláintecare in the context of having access to services, no matter what part of the country someone is in....
