Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (29 Feb 2024)

Pauline Tully: Just this week, I became aware that the manager in the Cavan CDNT is on maternity leave. Is she going to be replaced? The lady who is currently covering the position is based in Navan but that may just be temporary. We really need a full-time manager in the service.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (29 Feb 2024)

Pauline Tully: As the Minister of State has said, there is currently one respite house between two counties catering for adults and children on alternative weeks only. That is entirely insufficient and has been for years. The respite people are getting is in most cases insufficient. There are many on waiting lists who are not getting any. I have even spoken to people who have not applied at all even...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (29 Feb 2024)

Pauline Tully: I fully agree with much of what Professor Ashe said. I want to see a border poll and a referendum. My party is consistently calling for a plan and preparation for that to happen.
