Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2023)

Patrick Costello: I welcome the Minister. She mentioned earlier the graduated response the Garda uses. The Commissioner used that term as well, but surely the beginning of any graduated response should be prevention. Particularly when dealing with groups that are deliberately organising, the prevention should be looking at and dealing with them. The Minister says that there have been 800 protests this...

Patrick Costello: The Act allows the Minister to give directions and revise priorities.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2023)

Patrick Costello: I will keep my question very short. It is not just about the Minister asking the Commissioner what he needs. It is about her saying that, as a Government, we feel the State needs a certain thing or that a certain area should be a priority. There is a clear escalation here. Arson attacks are increasing. There are communities where there are vigilante patrols, where people feel law and...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (6 Dec 2023)

Patrick Costello: BusConnects is bringing many positive changes to the city. However, the residents of Chapelizod have expressed their concern to me because six routes that go through the village are becoming one. Other areas such as Bluebell are seeing a similar level of disconnect. I do not know how we will get people out of cars to meet our climate ambition unless we give them a meaningful bus service....

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Access to CAMHS for Individuals with Dual Diagnosis: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Patrick Costello: My experience of CAMHS is mostly as someone referring people to them. My biggest frustration was, to be blunt, the gatekeeping that happened a lot. If there was a suggestion of substance abuse, CAMHS would shut down and not take the person. Where there was a suggestion of disability, CAMHS would shut down and not touch the case. Ms Grogan made the point that people who are engaged with...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Access to CAMHS for Individuals with Dual Diagnosis: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Patrick Costello: Dr. McCarney talked about the hub and spoke development model. I have been taking notes because, as Ms Grogan has said, Bernard Gloster is on his way in and we will ask him about these matters. Dr. McCarney made reference to the interest group, the special group to carry out the midway review, the new recommendations and the hub and spoke model. When was that recommendation made?

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Access to CAMHS for Individuals with Dual Diagnosis: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Patrick Costello: I will come back to it because I am conscious that I am running out of time. I have one or two quick questions for Ms Moore Ryan. She talked about overmedication and the flippant responses from some clinicians. I have experienced that as a referrer but obviously it is a lot easier because I am not the one looking for help for myself. I appreciate that it is very different to be on the...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Access to CAMHS for Individuals with Dual Diagnosis: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Patrick Costello: To be brief, for my first question, I will ask for a follow-up in writing to the committee instead of an answer now. The model of care was launched earlier this year and there are the CAMHS operational guidelines from 2019. Is there a review process? Does the review include consultation with the public and service users? A written note to the committee would be fine. One issue is...
