Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Stability Programme Update Scrutiny: Economic and Social Research Institute (9 Mar 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: My follow-up question comes from a more domestic perspective. We saw a significant failure to spend in terms of our capital allocations over the past couple of years. Covid was the cause of some of that but we have talked a lot about capacity within various sectors. I presume some of the effects of the Ukraine-Russia crisis will impact that capacity issue as well and supply. Does Dr....

Neasa Hourigan: I do not see any more Deputies on the line. To be honest, at one stage I thought this meeting would not happen because of our IT difficulties, so I am glad we were able to have this conversation. I thank Dr. McQuinn and Dr. O'Toole for their assistance to the committee today. It was a very interesting conversation. The committee's next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, 23 March, at...

Joint Committee On Health: General Scheme of the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: I thank all our guests. My first questions are for Ms Lillis, although Dr. O'Mahony might also have something to say. I might explore the issue of independent advocacy and how it might look in real terms. Ms Lillis was clear it is not just about legal representation but that it is a broader issue. In her estimation and that of anyone else who wishes to give one, who would fulfil that role...

Joint Committee On Health: General Scheme of the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: I thank Ms Anderson very much for that. I will go back to the issue Dr. O'Mahony raised with regard to the criminal justice system and diversion mechanisms. He mentioned things like proposals for law reform. A body of work seems to have been done on that. Does Dr. O'Mahony envisage that as something that would live within the current legislative work or does it require separate and...

Joint Committee On Health: General Scheme of the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: That is an important point for all of us. It should live in this legislation although it may need other supporting pieces down the road. I will turn to Dr. Morrissey who, at the beginning, spoke a little bit about stigmatising language. We are trying to be very aware of those things but it is a live issue and moves all of the time. Will Dr. Morrissey outline her concerns in that regard to us?

Joint Committee On Health: General Scheme of the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)

Is that a larger or separate piece of work or something they would see...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE (2 Mar 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: I will try to keep to the time. I want to ask a number of questions but I will first follow up on some of the answers to Deputy Shortall's questions. A visual representation of the governance structure for the Kerry-Cork CAMHS would be incredibly useful. I definitely need that because I am also completely confused. Who does the patient safety adviser work under? Who is the line manager?
