Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Imelda Munster: Okay, so if a county council were to say this year that it is still trying to wade through applications from 2021, what sort of additional funding would be given for that? Would the Department give sufficient funding to clear the backlog right back to the applications in 2021 and then sufficient funding to cover for this year?

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Imelda Munster: That seems strange because, to give Ms Timmons the example of Louth County Council for the minute, it has 610 applications. Hundreds of them are priority 1, that is, people who have had strokes, people who have serious mobility issues, people who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, or people in need of a wet room or a downstairs bathroom. The council has 610 on the waiting...

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Imelda Munster: That is just one serious case. There are people who cannot get into a bath or climb stairs and are waiting on downstairs wet rooms and stairlifts but cannot get any. How is the Department going to rectify this situation?

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Imelda Munster: We are getting this spiel the whole time. I have just said that there are 610 people waiting, hundreds of whom are priority 1. These are people who cannot climb the stairs and do not have downstairs bedrooms or who cannot get into a bath and do not have downstairs wet rooms. Many of us know people in such situations, for example, people with COPD who cannot even attempt to climb stairs,...

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Imelda Munster: Due to the scheme's underfunding, there are people who had strokes last week or limbs amputated who are being told to apply in January 2024 and that the council might get to them in 2025 because it does not have funding.

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Imelda Munster: Did the review find it was underfunded? There was a 2.3% increase last year, but building costs increased by 16.2%. This is nonsense and nowhere near enough. The Department has to sort this mess out and accept that these schemes are not funded adequately. I would like to hear back as soon as possible – not for myself, but for those who are sitting at home waiting for their houses...

Vote 24 – Justice (25 May 2023) Imelda Munster: I want to touch on the immigrant investor programme, or cash for visas or golden visas as it was more widely known. It is fair to say it was controversial from the very start. It is also fair to say there were some benefits for community-led projects in particular. My question is about oversight and transparency. The Department was tasked with approving the scheme and with oversight of...
