Other Questions: Maternity Services Provision (15 Nov 2017)

Robert Troy: I thank the Minister. He is right that the national maternity strategy states there must be equal access to standardised ultrasound services for every pregnant woman, not just where there is a potential risk to the child or the mother. That followed the identification of a geographic inequity in the availability of 20-week foetal anomaly scans. The Midland Regional Hospital, Mullingar does...

Other Questions: Maternity Services Provision (15 Nov 2017)

Robert Troy: I appreciate that the Minister has undertaken to look at Mullingar hospital given its location, the number of counties it serves and the high level of births that take place there, as I said at the outset. On the recruitment of the additional 52 sonographers, obviously that will not happen in one year. Has the process of recruiting the additional staff commenced? Quite often what happens...

Other Questions: Mental Health Services Funding (15 Nov 2017)

Robert Troy: When will the local people be making the decision? This organisation has failed to secure any State funding for the past two years despite the large number of people it is supporting. The Minister of State was correct in what he said. This organisation has organised bucket collections and fundraising cycling events. The former Taoiseach, at my invitation, participated in a fundraising...

Other Questions: Mental Health Services Funding (15 Nov 2017)

Robert Troy: It is noticeable that the Minister of State failed to outline the funding for 2016 and 2017, which was cut. It was cut because of what happened in Console. Rightly the Department had to ensure that State money that was being allocated was going to help the people who needed it. Good2Talk is governed by a board of directors. It complies with the CRA requirements. It works within clear...

If so, did he have to undergo any interviews and, if...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Foynes Port Company: Chairperson Designate (15 Nov 2017)

I am not saying it would be a bad thing and the most important thing is to increase connectivity to the port. The port is designated as one of Europe's TEN-T ports, so is there an opportunity to avail of funding from Europe?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Transport Authority: Chairperson Designate (15 Nov 2017)

Robert Troy: I have met Mr. Barry on a number of occasions - at the opening of the N52, the opening of the M4, the opening of the M6 - when he was CEO of the National Roads Authority. At that time, there were significant sums being invested in the road infrastructure and one can see the benefits. We are reaping the benefits of it. Certainly, it is much easier to get around the country than it was in...
