Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Certain Institutional Burials (Authorised Interventions) Bill (Resumed) (18 May 2021)

Holly Cairns: I take it that the Minister believes it is just as vital in each site, regardless of the nature of the unmarked grave, as it is in Tuam. Why is there not a clear right of access to information for relatives in the Bill? Maybe it is not necessary but I am asking why it is not in the Bill. The Minister spoke about it being inappropriate for three agencies to be involved around the...

Holly Cairns: Would the Minister consider bringing the powers of the coroner into the agency rather than keeping them separate, if the two are allowed to work together after exhumation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing Disability Services Model and Withdrawal of Occupational Therapies from Schools: Engagement with HSE (13 May 2021)

Holly Cairns: I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee. I will start with one question and come back in afterwards. If there is time for that, that would be great. Regarding the children's disability network teams, CDNTs, can the witnesses highlight where they are in place and the numbers of areas that still have to be reconfigured? What is the timeline for the full implementation of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing Disability Services Model and Withdrawal of Occupational Therapies from Schools: Engagement with HSE (13 May 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing Disability Services Model and Withdrawal of Occupational Therapies from Schools: Engagement with HSE (13 May 2021)

Holly Cairns: Just to let Ms O'Neill know, that is not actually the case in a number of areas in Cork and Kerry. People are still waiting for those teams to come in and are looking for updates from the office. Perhaps that is something that can be followed up on separately.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing Disability Services Model and Withdrawal of Occupational Therapies from Schools: Engagement with HSE (13 May 2021)

Holly Cairns: Okay, I will follow up on that separately. Regarding the assessment of needs, the children's committee oversees some of disability matters as well and we had the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, in recently, which was great. I want to highlight to the witnesses that there was some discrepancy between what she said and the standard operating procedure, SOP, for the assessment of needs....

Holly Cairns: I appreciate that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing Disability Services Model and Withdrawal of Occupational Therapies from Schools: Engagement with HSE (13 May 2021)

Holly Cairns: That makes complete sense. It makes sense that this would be more of a suggested guideline. It sounds like it is being misinterpreted in lots of instances in respect of the 90 minutes. Perhaps that wording along the lines of "shall take up to one to one and a half hours" is kind of misleading. We could look at changing that. I thank Ms O'Neill. I appreciate the response.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (12 May 2021)

Holly Cairns: When I asked the Taoiseach about planning on the site of a mass infant grave at Bessborough, he told me it was inappropriate for a member of Government to intervene on planning matters. How does he reconcile this with his statement yesterday on Glanbia? Is that an appropriate thing for a Taoiseach to do? I presume the Taoiseach is aware that Glanbia is in partnership with a Dutch company...
