- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Families for Reform of CAMHS (17 Jan 2024)
Seán Crowe: I know of another case where the child was coming up to the age of 18 and the family felt they were being put on the long finger and being put off. It was suggested that they might go to a private charity. Would that be unusual coming up to that age?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Families for Reform of CAMHS (17 Jan 2024)
Seán Crowe: I am concentrating on the issues with the emergency departments again. I know of a case of a family where the child, a young adult, was self-harming, suicidal and walking around naked, was showing all the symptoms and it was clearly a breakdown, and there were no supports. They were being released. The family at one stage said they could not take the person back. The option was a homeless...

Seán Crowe: Going back to the issue of key personnel being missing on those teams, I have put this question to various officials and the Minister. How do you recruit for a post where someone will have a workload of hundreds of cases or even a thousand cases? It is impossible to get someone to take on that workload without additional supports.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Families for Reform of CAMHS (17 Jan 2024)
Seán Crowe: Yes. If we stay silent on an issue, how are people to know there is a problem there? Last of all, the group's survey says one in nine people accesses services through a TD. That is an indication the system does not work because TDs are not the way for people to get medical supports or assessments. It is wrong the system relies on TDs and that needs to change as well. It should happen...

Seán Crowe: We talked about the financial costs but there are other costs on relationships, for example. We all know, unfortunately, that if you have a child who has issues it puts huge pressure on families. I mentioned that, in some families, there is more than one child in that situation. We did not mention An Garda Síochána. That is another service called on which is totally unsuitable...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Families for Reform of CAMHS (17 Jan 2024)
Seán Crowe: As politicians, it is not uncommon that we would come across cases where families have brought a loved one to the emergency department, they have been released and then there has been a suicide. There is a tsunami of that across the State, as we know, but we do not have the figures until a year or two down the road. We hear those stories quite often about the families who have tried to get...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Cardiovascular Health, Stroke and Heart Attack: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)
Seán Crowe: As a committee, we should be asking what the delay is in publishing it. I get Ms O'Shea's point regarding some of the information gathered for the review but I assume others are living the same experiences she experienced six years ago. Her disease has moved on but the challenges relating to it are still there. It does not make sense that it still has not been published six years later. I...
