86. Deputy Liam Quaide asked the Minister for Health her views on whether child and adolescent mental health services in intellectual disability, CAMHS-ID, services remain significantly underdeveloped nationally; the current number of approved CAMHS-ID posts, broken down by discipline and team; the number of new CAMHS-ID posts approved in 2026; the shortfall between current approved posts and the …

I ask about CAMHS-ID services, which are specialist teams for children and adolescents with a moderate to profound intellectual disability and coexisting mental health difficulties. According to the HSE, and by its own admission, no CAMHS-ID team nationally is staffed to the level recommended in its own model of care. Will the Minister of State set out the current number of approved CAMHS-ID posts…

I already established, earlier this year, that the staffing levels of CAMHS-ID teams across the country are abysmal. These are children and teenagers with very complex needs. They experience major challenges across all aspects of their daily lives, including with communication and learning. Some have physical and sensory needs, as well as significant mental health difficulties. Yet, the specialist…

The Department is not funding the teams. That is the main issue. There is a stark double standard here. In mainstream CAMHS, multidisciplinary staffing is treated as basic good practice. In CAMHS, there is meant to be consultant psychiatry, psychology, social work, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy, but we know the CAMHS-ID services are patchy and understaffed. In some areas, th…

It is less than half of what it is meant to be.

I move: That Dáil Éireann: agrees that: — every adult with an intellectual disability has the right to live as independently as possible in their own community, with the supports they need to live with dignity, autonomy and security; — Article 19 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) recognises the equal right of disabled people to live in the com…

I came here today in a genuine spirit of constructive engagement with Government. I have no interest in reducing this crisis to party politics, but I have to say the response of the Minister, Deputy Foley, and that of the Minister of State, to this motion has left me utterly deflated. I have no doubt that sentiment will be shared by many people who have tuned in today who are counting on Governmen…

27. Deputy Liam Quaide asked the Taoiseach if he will report on his recent meeting with US President Donald Trump. [48680/26]

The Taoiseach originally told us the occupied territories Bill could not be enacted because of legal constraints. More recently, he admitted that the real obstacle, in his eyes, is the fear that American companies might abandon Ireland. This is despite the fact that his own party not only voted for this Bill in 2019 but actually introduced it to the Dáil on behalf of Senator Frances Black. He prom…

How about enacting a Bill that you voted for?

What about enacting a Bill that you voted for?

The Taoiseach voted for the Bill and then gutted it.

10. Deputy Liam Quaide asked the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee on water quality will next meet. [44846/26]

More than 500 Ukrainian residents in Trabolgan, east Cork, are facing eviction from the holiday village. They include 167 children and 74 pensioners. Many of those children are settled in local schools. These are people who fled war and have over time become part of the community in east Cork. Local teachers, SNAs, volunteers and community groups have worked in partnership with them to help the ch…

First, I commend my colleague, Deputy Gibney, on today’s Private Members’ motion and for her strength of advocacy on Palestine. The Israel-Ireland match should not go ahead. This is not a normal sporting fixture. It is a fixture involving a state that is carrying out genocide in Gaza, maintaining an ethno-supremist system of apartheid and accelerating ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, East Jerusa…

7. Deputy Liam Quaide asked the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee on housing will next meet. [38776/26]

The recent RTÉ "Prime Time" programme on dereliction should shame the Government into action on this issue. It showed that driving the blight of dereliction is an abject failure of enforcement as well as a failure to even record the number of properties that are being left to rot in our towns, villages and cities. The problem is painfully visible in east Cork. Castlemartyr is a beautiful, historic…
