Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (3 Feb 2022)

Brian Stanley: It does create problems, although I will not get into that now. It is not open to the clerk to the committee to contribute right now but dealing with two issues in one day would create difficulties and I am conscious of that. We need to be realistic about what we can cover. The preparation for a meeting in any given week is considerable, as members will know from the work they put into...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (3 Feb 2022)

Brian Stanley: I would suggest that is not a bad option but I want to allow the secretariat to comment and I cannot do that in public session. Provisionally, there is a suggestion we go with that. It is widely recognised that what the Deputy has proposed is worthy and needs to be dealt with as an urgent issue. I ask her to bear with us until we deal with the rest of the meetings. I think she will be...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (3 Feb 2022)

Brian Stanley: I ask members to be helpful on this. I will return to it soon, given it will not take very long if we allow it to happen. There was a suggestion that we would have two meetings but that would add a further complication. I ask members to bear with me while we nail this down conclusively. I qualify this by saying that, if we decide to take 10 March as the meeting on mental health and if we...

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service: Motion [Private Members] (1 Feb 2022)

Brian Stanley: The motion calls on the Government and the HSE to address the crisis in mental health and disability services for young people and children. We know this is a growing problem, unfortunately. The services have been at breaking point for too long and patients simply are not getting the timely and quality care and intervention that they need and deserve. Last week, the issues in south...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services (27 Jan 2022)

The hospital has ceased services to allow for its refurbishment and day care services were being housed in a part of the hospital that was being used for storage, but I am told it is not going to reopen. This has...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services (27 Jan 2022)

Brian Stanley: I thank the Minister of State for the reply and agree wholeheartedly with much of what she stated. She set out the case in detail. Even so, when the HSE closes the door, it can be difficult to get it reopened, as the Ceann Comhairle will be aware. It closed the door of the day care centre in Monasterevin in 2014 and that has not reopened. I have raised concerns, and I am sure the Ceann...
