Tackling All Forms of Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence: Statements (3 Jul 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the House for facilitating this important debate. Previous contributors referred to watershed moments and Groundhog Day. Unfortunately, we have had those too many times. We devoted an entire afternoon in the Dáil to statements about the late Ashling Murphy 12 or 18 months ago and the issue was in sharp focus, both in the media and in political discourse. It was being spoken...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Moving Together: A Strategic Approach to Improving the Efficiency of Ireland’s Transport System: Minister for Transport and Communications (3 Jul 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I welcome the Minister and his officials and thank them for their continuous engagement with the committee. I want to go through a few points. One point I have repeatedly made at the committee is that in the months of July and August, when the schools are closed, people can get around any town or city in Ireland with relative ease. This morning, I got the 7.40 a.m. train and as there is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Moving Together: A Strategic Approach to Improving the Efficiency of Ireland’s Transport System: Minister for Transport and Communications (3 Jul 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I am sorry for interjecting but the clock is always against us. I thank the Minister for his detailed reply. Some of the positive gains we have made over the past three years are now at risk of being eroded. I am speaking of the Local Link service. Many of the new routes that have been licensed by the National Transport Authority, NTA, are linked to locations in rural Ireland where...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Moving Together: A Strategic Approach to Improving the Efficiency of Ireland’s Transport System: Minister for Transport and Communications (3 Jul 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I fear the situation will be replicated. I ask the Minister to raise this at Cabinet. Due to what we have gained in respect of those services, we should decouple them from the initial criteria and just say it is merited to have a bus in that community - it could be anywhere in Ireland - and retain that service. I have two final questions. I will go through them quickly. Point 29 of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the witnesses from the HSE for their engagement. I have a number of questions. I will begin with child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS. The Department of Education last year launched a pilot in-school therapeutic support scheme in counties Cavan, Laois, Leitrim, Longford, Mayo, Monaghan and Tipperary. Have the witnesses any metrics as to how CAMHS waiting lists have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Cathal Crowe: They include counties Cavan, Laois and Leitrim. Perhaps we could take Cavan as a sample county.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Cathal Crowe: That is interesting. Only seven counties were included in the pilot scheme but two of them, Cavan and Monaghan, are in CHO 1. That is an interesting improvement. I was interested to hear the figure because I come from the primary school profession and there is a long-held belief that many of these supports can be provided in schools if the resources are in place rather than putting...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Cathal Crowe: There is a lot in that question and many counties are involved. Perhaps at some stage the witnesses could come back to the committee about the comparisons between a CHO area that has this pilot scheme and one that has not. I would love to see if the scheme has worked from the perspective of the HSE. The Department has its metrics that are pulled from the same pot. I am wondering if the...
