Written Answers — Department of Health: Child Protection (21 May 2024)

Mary Butler: It is a matter for each private/charitable service provider to satisfy itself that its consent policy is in accordance with the law. Where a service provider has legal concerns about the appropriateness of providing services to a given service user, it may be appropriate to seek legal advice. Section 4.1 of the HSE National Consent Policy sets out its position in relation to parental...

Neighbour Disputes (Vegetation) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (16 May 2024)

Mary Butler: I will keep it brief because I would only be reiterating what was said already. I am grateful for the opportunity to make some brief closing remarks on what has been a fascinating discussion. I thank Deputy Ó Snodaigh for initiating this Bill and the effort to address an issue that can become both serious and distressing for some in our communities, where they are in dispute with their...

Neighbour Disputes (Vegetation) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (16 May 2024)

Mary Butler: I am pleased to attend the debate to set out the Government's position on the Bill. I thank Deputy Ó Snodaigh for initiating the Bill, which is an effort to address the difficult matter of disputes that arise between neighbours over vegetation causing a nuisance. The Bill provides for mediation on neighbour disputes and formal adjudication, if necessary, by adjudication officers...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (16 May 2024)

Mary Butler: I thank Deputy Whitmore for raising this important issue. The Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, has been delayed. I was on standby to take this and I was under the impression that the Minister of State would be here. I have taken note of the issues raised by the Deputy and I hope the script will be able to provide some of the answers. From the outset I want to clarify that the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (16 May 2024)

Mary Butler: In fairness to the Deputy - and I believe the Ceann Comhairle will agree - as she had already suspended this particular question, and as I am not in a position to answer fully the Deputy's response, I will ask that one of the officials meet with the Deputy and she can discuss her issues in detail. I will try to organise this for next week. The Deputy has already deferred this Topical Issue...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Urban Development (16 May 2024)

Mary Butler: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue, an important one to many Deputies living in Dublin and to the general population. Dublin city centre has always been a vibrant destination for the locals, visitors and tourists who come here to enjoy all the wonderful amenities it has to offer. Recently, however, the social and cultural character of the city centre has changed, with increased...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Urban Development (16 May 2024)

Mary Butler: I thank the Deputy for his input to the debate and the views he has raised. In fairness to the Taoiseach, he was only in his second or third week in the role when he established a task force to take a view of the measures required to rejuvenate Dublin city centre, both north and south. We can all welcome the focus brought by Government on measures which will hopefully make all the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Guardians Ad Litem (16 May 2024)

Mary Butler: I thank Deputy Flaherty for raising this important issue and for offering me the opportunity to respond on behalf of the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman. I hope the statement I have will answer some of the questions he has raised. The unregulated nature of the provision of guardian ad litem services has been a matter of concern for some time. Currently, guardians ad litem, GALs, are appointed by...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Guardians Ad Litem (16 May 2024)

Mary Butler: The Deputy has raised a really important issue. The Department is continuing to work towards the establishment of the guardian ad litem national service to enable the full commencement of the Act. As I have said, a consultant, Anthony Douglas CBE, was contracted to support preparations for the establishment of the GAL national service. The outputs from this consultancy include the...
