Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Nursing Home Charges: Department of Health (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: It does not solve the retrospective cases and the issues people faced at the time, including having to sell a home to fund care. That is the point I am making. In the 2005 Supreme Court decision on the Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2004, it held that the retrospective provisions of the Bills were nullified, which nullified the rights of persons with full eligibility to recover moneys for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Nursing Home Charges: Department of Health (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: The Supreme Court stated that the attempt by the Government to rectify that via the Act in 2004 was unconstitutional.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Nursing Home Charges: Department of Health (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Mr. Watt mentioned the fair deal. On the future and moving towards more home care, home living and caring for persons and loved ones in the home, where does he see the Department moving towards? Both private and public nursing homes cannot get staff. That may change in the future with the ups and down of the economy and employment. Where is the Department moving and what vision does Mr....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Nursing Home Charges: Department of Health (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: A number of years ago, the issue seemed to be funding to get the hours. Now, it seems to be getting the staff to fulfil those hours. From talking to loved ones who are lucky enough to have hours and staff, staff are arriving in certain cases at 11.30 a.m. for the first call, which is too late for the personal care required by older people. A huge focus is needed on ensuring, however it is...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Seirbhísí Fuíolluisce Poiblí sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as a bheith linn tráthnóna agus cuirim fáilte rompu. Is í seo an fhadhb atá ag áiteanna eile sa Ghaeltacht agus, mar gheall air sin, an fhadhb atá ag an nGaeilge. Sna háiteanna ina bhfuil an teanga is láidre, tá cuid de na scoileanna i mbaol. Is fadhb mhór í sin. Luadh go bhfuil 51...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Seirbhísí Fuíolluisce Poiblí sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: An bhfuil siad ag déanamh go maith?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Seirbhísí Fuíolluisce Poiblí sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Is iontach é sin. Luaigh Máirín Ní Choisdealbha-Seoige an scéim Croí Cónaithe. D'athraigh muid coinníollacha na scéime sin chun go mbeadh sí feiliúnach do scéimeanna faoin tuath. Is rud tábhachtach é sin agus is deas é a chloisteáil go bhfuil sé ag feidhmiú go maith. Tá fadhbanna in...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Seirbhísí Fuíolluisce Poiblí sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Déanann sé sin ciall, más féidir an ciste sin a fháil. Is í sin an cheist. An bhfuil díomá ar na finnéithe faoi na fadhbanna ó thaobh chead pleanála i dtograí cosúil le Páirc na Mara?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Seirbhísí Fuíolluisce Poiblí sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: All right. Fágfaimid ansin é.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Seirbhísí Fuíolluisce Poiblí sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Is deacair aon rud a rá. Tá na fadhbanna seo in áiteanna i gConamara agus tá Conamara difríocht. Tá rudaí an-difríocht i mo cheantar féin. Tá easpa tithe ann freisin ach sin scéal eile ó thaobh airgid agus costais. Is maith an rud go bhfuil daoine ag iarraidh fanacht agus go bhfuil suim acu fanacht sa cheantar, go bhfuil suim ag...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Seirbhísí Fuíolluisce Poiblí sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Roghnaíodh Craughwell agus Clarinbridge i mbliana do scéimeanna séarachais na comhairle contae. Tá súil agam go mbeidh áit éigin i gConamara ainmnithe don chéad scéim eile. Caithfidh na finnéithe, muid féin agus na comhairleoirí contae an brú a choimeád suas chun go roghnófar áit sa Ghaeltacht, áit...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Happy St. Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, it is not exactly an issue relevant to St. Valentine's that I have to report. Nonetheless, he has gone and done it. He has dismissed the board of Inland Fisheries Ireland, IFI. The Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, has completed the work of the Department and the chief executive officer from last spring, targeting the board and finally getting rid of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Absolutely. The CEO had a statement out very quickly today after the board was sacked. He was delighted with himself. I feel for the hundreds of decent IFI employees with no leadership from the CEO, the Department or the Minister. There is no direction from anyone. I believe the Minister, Deputy Ryan, is a decent man but in this, he is totally misguided, and wrongly advised on purpose by...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Local Authority Funding (9 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: The Minister of State is welcome. I thank the Office of the Cathaoirleach for choosing this matter. We debated this topic when sittings were taking place in the convention centre. In that context, I may be making the same speech several years later on funding issues relating to Galway County Council. Most of us are former members of local authorities. We know the range of services that...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Local Authority Funding (9 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. I acknowledge the supports that have been provided but they are not enough. They are way short of the mark. The funding allocated from budget 2022 and to Galway County Council works out at €802 per capita, which is the second lowest per capitafigure. Kildare County Council is the lowest and Meath County Council is just above that. Per...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: The Deputy Leader is welcome this morning. First, I express my sympathies to the people of Türkiye and Syria on the tragedy there and the unfolding rescue and recovery attempts following the devastating earthquake. While we have issues in this country, thankfully we do not have such geological incidents that cause the hardship and devastation we have witnessed in those countries. I...

Seanad: The Royal Hibernian Academy (Amendment of Charter) Bill: Referral to Joint Committee (9 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: I move: That the application for a private Bill entitled The Royal Hibernian Academy (Amendment of Charter) Bill, being a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Charter of 1861 under which the Royal Hibernian Academy is incorporated and to alter the provisions relating to membership thereof and to provide for other matters connected therewith, be referred to a Joint Committee on the Bill which,...
