Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Julianstown Bypass: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: The date has not been confirmed. We all hope it will be sooner rather than later. However, there is no evidence to show this will alleviate the serious congestion in Julianstown. There are no short-term public transport options being put forward or plans that would alleviate the concerns of the residents of the village. Does Mr. Mullaney agree that the road is not fit for purpose given...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Julianstown Bypass: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: The residents of Julianstown had marked down that the first step was to upgrade the R132 to a national road. Given the business case submitted by Meath County Council and its director of services, would Mr. Mullaney propose that the road be upgraded to a national road?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Julianstown Bypass: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: Would that be a first step? It certainly would not harm any business case.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Julianstown Bypass: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: I welcome what Mr. Foley said about Meath County Council accelerating the public transport analysis and everything that we need to bring it up a notch for the preliminary appraisal. If that could be done in the next 12 months, is it his opinion that Government would approve the funding for the bypass of Julianstown to include this if everything is tightened up and good to go?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: Page 83 of the programme for Government deals with delivering home care supports. I refer to the case of Hannah Donnelly from Drogheda who was admitted to Temple Street hospital in March 2017 for much needed surgery. She has Apert syndrome. Complications arose, as a result of which she has been in hospital for two and a half years. Medical advice given in March 2018 stated the best place...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: The list of 78 primary care centres caught my eye. That list includes 14 health centres that are public private partnerships, PPPs.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: It is the chart that was furnished.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: Of the list of 78 primary care centres, 14 are PPPs. It caught my eye for the simple reason that I understood that PPPs were used when there was a risk associated with a building or the running of a particular project. I do not understand what risk is involved in building a health centre, unless we are saying that people will stop getting sick, will not need public health nurses anymore,...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: The contractual cost is important, but I am particularly keen to get to the root of what the HSE saw as the risk. What was the risk identified by the HSE in building health centres and how was that measured in the context of the 14 PPPs?

Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon Financial Statement 2017 (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: Bord na gCon's accounts have shown a steady decline in the past seven or eight years. Its turnover has fallen and the State subvention is rising to fill the gap. There is a drop in attendance. Some sponsorship has been withdrawn from Bord na gCon. Greyhound racing is on the decline internationally. I believe there are only eight other countries where it is legal. It clearly would not be...

Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon Financial Statement 2017 (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: Given the exposé in the RTÉ "Prime Time Investigates" report, people would question an industry that allows such cruelty to animals. I am not suggesting Bord na gCon allowed it but whether Bord na gCon was aware it was taking place. If the board was not aware it was taking place, that raises even more questions. Certainly, people saw that Bord na gCon took no action to prevent it...

Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon Financial Statement 2017 (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: There was a comment by a vet on the RTÉ "Prime Time Investigates" programme that drugging dogs is rampant and sophisticated. According to the documentary, other drugs are given to dogs to cover up the drugs they are given to run faster. While this was not reflected in the data in Bord na gCon's annual report, would Mr. Dollard give an outline of the methodology that is used to test the...

Imelda Munster: The testing is sophisticated enough to catch drugs.

Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon Financial Statement 2017 (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: In response to questions on the "Prime Time" programme, Mr. Dollard referenced a report and stated that Bord na gCon had rehomed 1,000 dogs but that there was no accounting for the other 5,000 or 6,000. He stated that that was because Bord na gCon did not have an accurate database. He also mentioned that legislation on traceability and so on was to be commenced and that animal welfare was a...
