Cian O'Callaghan: I wish to ask the Tánaiste about the children's disability network teams, CDNTs. Madison Maher is seven years old. She lives on the northside of Dublin. Maddie has an autism diagnosis. She is non-verbal and has a moderate learning disability. Maddie's assessment of need was carried out when she was just three years old. Since then, she has not been offered any of the necessary...

Micheál Martin: First, and I think Maddie is the child's name, it is not acceptable that we do not have sufficient early intervention teams in place for children at an early age. I say this because I accept the principle that early intervention makes a profound difference in a child's life and in the outcome for a child in terms of any particular need or issue that exists. The Cabinet agreed last week to...

Cian O'Callaghan: I was not asking the Tánaiste about assessments of need.

Cian O'Callaghan: I was giving the Tánaiste the specific example of a child who was assessed, referred to a CDNT and has been waiting for half her life and got no supports and none of the services or therapies she needs. She is now in severe difficulty as a result. I ask if the Tánaiste can answer this question. He has said 165 job offers have been made.

Micheál Martin: Yes.

Cian O'Callaghan: This is out of 800 additional posts that he said were approved. With 700 existing vacancies, 165 job offers are not going to cut it. Maddie has waited half her life for the supports she urgently needs. She is suffering as a result of the lack of intervention. She is now likely to need surgery as a result. She cannot afford to wait any longer. Thousands of children are in the same...

Pearse Doherty: Tá tuilleadh moille tagtha ar ospidéal na leanaí, agus tuilleadh airgid ag teastáil. Tá an Rialtas ina gcodladh agus é seo uilig ag titim amach agus ag dul le sruth. Many years ago, when Deputy Leo Varadkar was Minister for Health, he said that short of an asteroid hitting the planet, the national children's hospital would be built by 2020. Today we have...

Micheál Martin: Ní aontaím leis an Teachta. Is é an rud is tábhachtaí ná go mbeimid in ann an t-ospidéal seo a chríochnú agus go háirithe, in ann déileáil go láidir le BAM. Maidir leis na dátaí atá ag an Teachta, go bunúsach tá BAM freagrach as an t-ospidéal seo a chruthú. B'fhéidir nach bhfuil sé...

David Cullinane: You have tried that tack before.

Micheál Martin: -----in terms of a very strong and robust engagement between the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board, the Government and BAM. All the deadlines he came through with there are deadlines that BAM set. It is likely to be part of a commercial strategy by BAM to try to extract more funding and more money from the Irish people.

David Cullinane: What are you doing about it?
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 May 2024)
Micheál Martin: I put it to the Deputy that I am not going to take debate and I suggest he does not take debate either. For the last few years there has been a very robust engagement through dispute resolution mechanisms. The Deputy will cite hundreds of millions that have been submitted in respect of claims but the net outcome of those claims is actually a fraction of the overall cost of the hospital. In...
