- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (23 Nov 2023)
Violet-Anne Wynne: People born with physical disabilities often endure a multitude of health challenges. The amendment the scheme requires would greatly assist families in improving access to transportation for the many doctor and hospital visits required by those with disabilities and, as previously mentioned, would give necessary access to employment. The current criteria for obtaining the primary...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (23 Nov 2023)
Violet-Anne Wynne: I thank the Minister for letting us know about the appeals board getting back up and running but, as he has said, the success rate at that level is very low. The answer is to make the necessary amendments and have the scheme up and running as soon as possible because the reality, as outlined by the Minister based on his having met people in the circumstances in question, is that they are...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (23 Nov 2023)
Violet-Anne Wynne: I will come back on the case I have encountered in Clare. The Minister has advised that amendments have been possible in particular cases. I am not sure if it is the Minister for Finance who is able to ensure these. The individual in the case in question, who lives out as far as west Clare, has a full-time carer who lives in the home, but that carer is not blood related so they cannot...

Violet-Anne Wynne: I thank the witnesses for coming to this meeting and for their opening statements. It has been a very worthwhile discussion so far and has touched on various topics impacting our constituents North and South. It may not have been what the members of the committee were expecting to hear, as we are solely focused on unification and what that might look like. I often get asked how we can make...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Winter Preparedness in the Hospital System: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)
Violet-Anne Wynne: I thank the committee for allowing me time to address the witnesses. I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their opening statements and for taking our questions. From what has been said so far about the embargo and the information that has been outlined here this morning, as has been mentioned, it does seem quite arbitrary and ambiguous. I am grateful for the further clarification from...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Winter Preparedness in the Hospital System: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)
Violet-Anne Wynne: Okay. Could Mr. Gloster reply in respect of the job offers?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Winter Preparedness in the Hospital System: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)
Violet-Anne Wynne: I thank Mr. Gloster for that. It makes a lot more sense now. I appreciate that. A lot of pieces of information that Mr. Gloster provided to other members is quite positive. It is important to mention that hospital settings are a high pressured environment, especially UHL, without having a model 3 hospital in the region as well to support it. The work is tense, extreme and high...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (21 Nov 2023)
Violet-Anne Wynne: I thank the Tánaiste. The mention of time and there being too much of it almost feels as if there is a sentiment to the effect that maybe time is being wasted. That is obviously not the Tánaiste's intention, but for victims to hear we do not want too much time to go into such an inquiry is not really bringing about their priorities. It has felt to them that their concerns are not...

Violet-Anne Wynne: 49. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence if he accepts that the equating of “trips, slips, and falls” with rape and abuse was an unfortunate error in his letter to victims of the Defence Forces who have been subjected to such horrendous crimes; if he will recall and reissue the letter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50910/23]

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (21 Nov 2023)
Violet-Anne Wynne: Does the Tánaiste accept that his equating of "trips, slips and falls" with rape and abuse was an unfortunate error in his letter to members of the Defence Forces who have been subjected to such horrendous crimes? Will he recall and reissue the letter and make a statement on the matter?
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (21 Nov 2023)
Violet-Anne Wynne: I thank the Tánaiste and appreciate the information he provided in his response. It has been said previously in the Chamber that the Women of Honour are reasonable people. I have met representatives of the group and they felt the Tánaiste's choice of words was wrong. He mentioned he felt their reaction was unfair, but I respectfully request he reflect on his use of language in...
