Committee on the Future of Healthcare Report: Motion (22 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I compliment all the members of the committee. I was not on the committee, but it is an honour to have an opportunity to speak this evening. Deputy Shortall did a phenomenal job in pulling all of these different personalities together for the past 11 months, starting with four hours twice a week and moving up to 12 hours a week. I thank my colleagues, Deputies Kelleher, Brown and Brassil...

Appointment to the Judiciary Nomination Procedure: Statements (21 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: This question I ask is not in breach of Cabinet confidentiality. If one was running the bridge club at home and there was a conflict of interest where two people were going for a job, would the committee, in good party policy, not ask the person with a vested interest to stand out of the room while the position was being discussed?

Appointment to the Judiciary Nomination Procedure: Statements (21 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: Oh, now.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Foster Care Services: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I apologise for being late. I will not ask any of the questions already asked. I will wait for answers to what Deputy Funchion has asked. Earlier Deputy O'Sullivan spoke about the various parties with whom we engage and we spoke about the Garda. I assume we engage with the Department of Education and Skills, the teaching profession and preschool officers because they have a huge role. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Foster Care Services: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: What supports are in place for grandparents, uncles or aunts fostering children from the UK or another jurisdiction? Some of my colleagues can help me. I believe the Deputy was asking about supports for relative carers. They receive an allowance from us in respect of caring for these children.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Foster Care Services: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: Yes. Just to explain my question, I am asking about situations where the family network is in another jurisdiction but the grandparents, for example, are living in Ireland - a situation where a care order has been given in another jurisdiction for those grandparents to care for the children, resulting in the children moving here. While they are getting a small allowance from another...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Foster Care Services: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: All right. I am talking about a specific case here so I apologise. It is something I have come across only very recently. While the case is exactly as Mr. Quinlan has described the second category of cases, we are talking about grandparents doing their very best with four kids but, because of the currency exchange rate at this moment in time, they are falling short by an awful lot. While...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Foster Care Services: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I will continue in the same vein with regard to the escalation, where if the schools have an issue that they wish to raise they will not be shut down straight away. They must feel that the door is open. They are minding children for seven hours per day and they know the foster parents who are coming to the school. If they want to lend support or to be engaged, they do not need teachers...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Foster Care Services: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Foster Care Services: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: It does not need to be just the social care worker, one can also have a community development worker as well. Sometimes we get hung up on titles. If the person has the right skill set, that benefits the whole community.
