- Mental Health Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 Sep 2024)
Catherine Connolly: She might not remember it, but Planning for the Future was the document to change everything in 1984. That was followed by A Vision for Change covering 2006 to 2016. Again, it was brilliant. I had no problems with both documents, but I had a big problem with their implementation. Planning for the Future was to change everything from the mid-eighties onwards to stop institutionalisation,...
- Mental Health Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 Sep 2024)
Catherine Connolly: Okay. They still have two wards of court. Five residents are in that acute unit. The word "acute" signifies something. It is not chronic; it is acute. It has had five residents for more than six months. Interestingly, they did not tell us whether that is years or months. I believe that one or two patients, or people, have been residents in that unit for years. That ties in with the...
- Mental Health Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 Sep 2024)
Catherine Connolly: I welcome this Bill. It is a positive Bill and I welcome the progress. Its purpose of course is to replace the Mental Health Acts, 2001 to 2022, which Acts themselves replaced the Mental Health Act 1945. I might come back to that date later, in terms of admissions for that year, and the still high admissions. Of course, this whole Bill reflects a shift on international level, forcing us...
- Defamation (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (19 Sep 2024)
Catherine Connolly: I appreciate the time to speak on this Bill. I wish I had more time. The Dáil is just back in session and this is very serious legislation, as is the next Bill we will consider, the Mental Health Bill 2024. The Defamation (Amendment) Bill involves a lot of reading. I have a lot of people to thank for their help. Once again, under pressure, the library and research service has...

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Sep 2024)
Catherine Connolly: While it is within the remit of the Minister, I wish to raise school transport. It is a huge scheme every year, with 163,000 children availing of it. Properly functioning school transport is an absolute necessity for access to school, to allow people to go to work and for climate change. August and September are a nightmare every year all over the country. The emails I have received, as...

I appreciate the support from the committee and across the...

Catherine Connolly: Níl fadhb ar bith agam maidir le taighde neamhspleách agus tá gá leis, ach bronnadh an conradh bliain is trí mhí ó shin. Tá an freagra ceannann céanna, focal ar fhocal. Ba chóir go mbéadh níos mó eolais againn ag an bpointe seo. Bhí téarmaí tagartha i gceist. Bhí téarma i gceist. Cén uair a...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Pleanáil Teanga (19 Sep 2024)
Catherine Connolly: Bhí obair an-éasca ag an duine a scríobh an freagra sin because tá sé focal ar fhocal mar an gcéanna leis an bhfreagra a fuarthas cheana. Níl mé ag magadh. Tá sé thar a bheith tábhachtach. Tá an t-athbhreithniú seo ar siúl. Bhí an t-airgead le fáil ach níl tásc ná tuairisc ar an tuarascáil....
