Health Service Funding: Motion [Private Members] (24 Oct 2023)

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...than 100 patients on trolleys in UHL every single day. There are 62 more patients on trolleys in the one hospital covering Clare, Limerick and north Tipperary than the three hospitals in County Cork combined. That is interesting. The Minister for Health has lost the confidence of the staff in UHL and student doctors and nurses who cannot get their hands on visas to get to Australia...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Departmental Reports (15 Dec 2021)

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...know, an underestimate. This morning I sent a copy of the transcript from last week's Committee on Disability Matters and I implore the Minister of State to read it. There is a family in west County Cork who spend at least double what this report outlines trying to offer supports and therapies for their daughter, who has a rare condition. It is shameful they must do this, as I am sure...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning disability services with the UNCRPD and considering the future system and innovation: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Dec 2021)

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...Ms Walsh and Dr. Walsh for their honest and open statement. It is glaring and stark to hear the differences they have experienced in terms of access to services and supports between Galway and Cork and between Ireland and Australia. Even more striking is detail of how much more support Zoë's peer in Australia received. It is disappointing to hear that is the case in Ireland. They...

Recovery of Tourism and Aviation: Statements (7 Oct 2021)

Violet-Anne Wynne: .... I propose, as I have done on many occasions, the reintegration of Shannon Airport into something similar to what the DAA was, to be known as the national airport authority. As we know, in 2008 Cork and Shannon had comparable footfall numbers of 3.2 million and seemed to be on an equal footing. Fast forward ten years and there is a massive difference of 1 million after separation. We...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate (7 Oct 2021)

Violet-Anne Wynne: ..., particularly those in Sinn Féin, have called for the establishment of a national airport authority whereby Shannon Airport could be reintegrated. Does Mr. Ó Céidigh endorse a national umbrella for the orchestration of the three main airports in Dublin, Cork and Shannon and what are his views on that? Does he believe Shannon Airport is best placed to run independently?...

Written Answers — Department of Health: Mental Health Services (29 Sep 2021)

Violet-Anne Wynne: 250. To ask the Minister for Health if he plans to increase the number of child and adolescent mental health service units made available nationwide given they are only in counties Dublin, Cork and Galway and only two of them take out-of-hours admissions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (14 Jul 2021)

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...that it could. One constituent of mine, who has been on a waiting list for a routine test since October 2019, was called yesterday and told that a referral will be issued for the Mater hospital in Cork. When will primary healthcare services in the mid-west region-----

Regional Airports and Aviation: Statements (17 Jun 2021)

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...a whole would be more resilient, sustainable and equitable if balanced, regional development was genuinely high on the priority list for the Government. Dublin Airport Authority will protect Dublin and Cork airports but what about the rest of the regional airports of this island? What about Shannon specifically? The dwindling numbers of both footfall and staff numbers demonstrated that...

National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Statements (2 Jun 2021)

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...personal protective equipment delivered, the airplane had to land in Shannon. This should give us an idea of how valuable the airport is. In 2009 the footfall through Shannon was 30,000 more than Cork Airport, but by 2019 it was 900,000 less than Cork. To say the separation from the DAA has disadvantaged Shannon is an understatement. In 2017 the economic footprint of Shannon was...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Public Transport (2 Jun 2021)

Violet-Anne Wynne: 92. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the way the decision to cancel several of the evening express 51 services from Galway to Cork was made; if there was an assessment of service users who would be impacted; and when the cancellations will be subject to review and potentially reinstated. [30156/21]

Regional Airports: Motion [Private Members] (11 Nov 2020)

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...These people paint a picture of doom and gloom and argue that Shannon Airport has received blow after blow. In recent weeks, Ryanair and Aer Lingus decided to cut their operations from Shannon and Cork airports for the coming weeks to save costs. This places hundreds of direct jobs and thousands of indirect jobs in jeopardy. People are saying that this is due to the Government's lack of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Aviation Industry (15 Oct 2020)

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...is with further bad news. This is seen as being directly down to the apathy from the Minister and his Department. On Tuesday, there was a commitment to additional capital funding for Shannon and Cork airports and a commitment to sign up to the EU traffic light system and here we are, just 48 hours later, waking up to this bad news. We cannot continue to allow our international airport...

Financial Resolutions 2020 - Financial Resolution No. 7: General (Resumed) (14 Oct 2020)

Violet-Anne Wynne: .... I commend them on their extensive work prior to the budget. They had to take to the streets and more besides, which is a difficult task when one is in despair. On Shannon Airport, the funding allocation of €10 million for it and Cork Airport is welcome. It is estimated that approximately €5 million will be granted to Shannon Airport. I have been calling for...

Defence (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (Resumed) (9 Sep 2020)

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...back retired members to fill these gaps. The aeromedical service in Athlone has come under pressure due to a lack of suitably qualified pilots in the Air Corps. Naval vessels are moored in Cork due to the lack of staff to enable them to go out on patrol. This is simply not good enough. Members of the Defence Forces recently came to the rescue of people in distress due to flooding,...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (Resumed) (10 Jun 2020)

Violet-Anne Wynne: Those who need access to flights have to drive by Shannon Airport and embark on a more than three-hour journey to Dublin Airport or Cork Airport. This surely is a contradiction in terms of the need for renewed focus on balanced regional development and, more specifically, the importance of reducing carbon emissions. Having this inconvenient journey added to the travel plans of people from...

Covid-19 (Transport, Tourism and Sport): Statements (3 Jun 2020)

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...be a poor decision, just as Aer Lingus' current treatment of Shannon will come to be seen as another major error of judgment. However, Aer Lingus appeared happy to maintain two flights per day to Cork with an average of only 16 passengers. That fact has not been lost on the workers of Shannon Airport or the wider mid-west population. We need the routes back, with priority given to...
