Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Primary Care Centres (15 Sep 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I appreciate the Minister of State outlining some of the difficulties with the site, but it is clearly water long under the bridge since 2012. What people want to know now is, first, when will the design team be initiated? I appreciate that the Minister of State confirmed it will be appointed, but when will that be done? Second, is the funding in the capital programme to deliver this...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Primary Care Centres (15 Sep 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister of State for his bona fides on this issue. I acknowledge that he is taking the question on behalf of the Minister. We have a very strong team in the Department, led by the Minister and the Ministers of State. I hope that they, working with me and other Government Deputies who represent the area, will be able to deliver on the commitments in the programme for Government...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Primary Care Centres (15 Sep 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I welcome the Ministers of State, Deputies Butler, Rabbitte and Feighan, to the House. Having waited eight years for a Minister to champion their primary care centre, the people of Finglas will be delighted that three Ministers of State have come along all at once. This project dates back to 2012. The HSE, local GPs, elected representatives and the community all agree on the need for a...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Autism Support Services (9 Sep 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. In the immediate aftermath of the election, the Taoiseach, Deputy Micheál Martin, said that there was an urgent need to provide the country with a functioning government. In outlining the many reasons why that was needed, he spoke very passionately about how parents of children with a disability must fight to secure a place each September for their...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Autism Support Services (9 Sep 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister of State. At the heart of her reply, as well as the experience of any parents who sit before us at a clinic explaining their real urgency and frustration, is the issue of transparency. Many of those parents do not feel part of the process but feel they are subject to the process. Many do not believe there is transparency about how a school or ASD unit is established,...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Human Rights and Civil Liberty Considerations (9 Sep 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I appreciate the witnesses attending the committee today. Dr. Ronan Glynn, on RTÉ on Friday night, talked about us closing chapter one and moving into chapter two, where chapter one was about us suppressing a huge outbreak of a disease that we we were very unfamiliar with, and chapter two is about us learning to live with this virus. The actions that were taken in the first chapter may...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Human Rights and Civil Liberty Considerations (9 Sep 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: While I share the witness's concerns on the broader point, I must say that I have not met, in my clinic, anybody who said that they have been removed from the payment on the ground of genuinely seeking work, nor have I heard tell of this from any of my colleagues. So, the questions is, is it a current and legitimate concern, or a broader concern regarding the overall legislation in the...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Human Rights and Civil Liberty Considerations (9 Sep 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I accept that, but at present, I am not aware of any people who have been removed on the grounds of genuinely seeking work, and the Minister has been clear about the two-week holiday requirement. Are the organisations aware of such people, other than those contacting Mr. Bowes with a concern?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Human Rights and Civil Liberty Considerations (9 Sep 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: It would be good if Mr. Bowes could provide the committee with some of the numbers around that because we could include that in our report, that is, how many people have been removed on that basis. On the second point about those who were removed for permanently leaving the State, and there is a lot of debate around this, I certainly believe that many ordinary people would feel that it...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Human Rights and Civil Liberty Considerations (9 Sep 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: On leaving the State, or being on a flight during a period when the Government was advising people they should not leave the State – that was a guideline, obviously – the question is whether that was enough. Was that a reasonable ground to assume people were leaving the State permanently? I agree with Mr. Bowes. I do not believe fair procedures were used here and that all the...
