Following this 50th anniversary year, 2017 signalled a shift in focus for MHI as planning began for our next 50 years. Given the scale and scope of change within the mental health sector it has become more difficult to anticipate future changes with any great certainty. In 2017 there were a number of important developments in the State’s approach to mental health services. Given the number of deliberative fora considering mental health provision, there is a real risk that once again, a coherent strategy will prove elusive. When combined with renewed organisational, structural and leadership changes within the HSE there is a risk that the momentum for reform in mental health in Ireland could be compromised or lost. In contrast in 2017 there was a very positive continuation of the trend towards openness and transparency from those who experience mental health problems. Public awareness and concern for mental health continues to grow and many high profile individuals in industry, sport and public life have come forward to share their experiences of mental ill health and recovery. This can encourage others to come forward and seek help and to start out on a path for recovery. In 2017 MHI made great strides to strengthen the organisation’s resilience and effectiveness. Our new CEO Martin Rogan took up his position in January 2017. Martin brought with him exceptional skill, knowledge, expertise and is well networked in the mental health sector in Ireland and Internationally. This has been a significant factor in the continuing and indeed deepening relationship not only with our main funder, the HSE but with the wider MHI family and of course all of our stakeholders. In addition to a new CEO in 2017 we welcomed new Board members Dr. Pat Bracken, Martha Griffin and Dr. Colman Noctor extending our skillset and complementing the reach of our current Board Members. Towards the end of 2017 additional funding was secured under the HSE / GENIO Service Reform Fund to create new programmes and opportunities for people with self- experience. I am delighted that MHI has been in a position to be a practical partner and to act as the employer to advance these important developments. We are keen to build on this foundation with additional developments into the future. These new appointments will have an immediate impact on our effectiveness on a national basis. We have had some changes in our staff team during 2017 and I would especially like to acknowledge the work and contribution of Patricia Bourke, Head of Professional Standards and Training and Karen Galligan, MHI’s former Research Officer. I would like to wish them both well in their new roles. 8 MENTAL HEALTH IRELAND Annual Report 2017 Improving governance at MHI was a priority in 2017 and great work was done by our dedicated team culminating in our revision of our Memorandum and Articles of Association which was endorsed by Members at the AGM. I am pleased to report that this was just the start of a very comprehensive governance programme that continued throughout 2017. By using a structured Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) process we have created a template for Mental Health Associations to follow which will safeguard service users, the local associations’ work and retain public confidence. Developing our new Strategy With a new team and significantly improved governance, MHI was in a position to really focus on the development of a new 3-year strategy. In November 2017, the CEO presented the new draft strategy to the Board. Given the broad scope of work undertaken by MHI and MHAs the Board felt that it would be helpful to group our activities under a number of pillars. These fall into three major categories, Promoting Positive Mental Health, Supporting and facilitating recovery and strengthening our organisational structures. Key themes in the MHI Strategy can be grouped as follows; 1. Mental Health Promotion 2. Living Life Well 3. Organisational Fitness Especial thanks is due to all of the Head Office staff, Area Development Officer team at Mental Health Ireland and the Board members for their continued support and commitment. I would also like to acknowledge and celebrate the work done by former MHI Board members who completed their term in 2017, Brian Glanville, Alice Murphy and my predecessor, Maria Molloy. I am very grateful for the welcome extended to me as the new Chair, by the new Board members and to the new members of the senior team. I believe that MHI is well placed to continue its success in 2018 and beyond. Thank you Fiona Ross, Chairperson Board of Directors, Mental Health Ireland MENTAL HEALTH IRELAND Supporting Positive Mental Health 9 CEO’s Welcome Welcome to Mental Health Ireland’s Annual Report for 2017. 2017 was a dynamic year for Mental Health Ireland with a number of changes happening within our Board, Staff team and across many programmes and projects. Following the retirement of Orla Barry In January 2017, I had the great honour of taking up my post as CEO of MHI. During her tenure, Orla developed the organisation and brought forward many new developments and worked with the Board to revise the governance structures. I could quickly see that this was going to be a very hard act to follow. I first became involved as a Mental Health Association volunteer in 1983 and I immediately got a sense of the unique value volunteers bring to mental health. There is something about the vitality and energy that volunteers bring to their work that is difficult to describe but it has a special freshness and appeal. Many people with mental illness can be especially sensitive to the true motives

Chapter 1- Introduction INTRODUCTION TO REPORT 1.1 In March of 2008, the then Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Micheál Martin T.D., announced the establishment of an advisory group (the Group) to review the current legislative framework regarding the public interest aspects of media mergers in Ireland. This review was undertaken in the context of a wider review taking place on the operation and implementation of the Competition Act 2002. 1.2 The Group was asked to examine the provisions of the Competition Act 2002 in relation to media mergers and in particular the “relevant criteria” specified in the Act, by reference to which the Minister currently considers media mergers. 1.3 The Terms of Reference of the Group were:- To review and to consider the current levels of plurality and diversity in the media sector in Ireland. To examine and review the “relevant criteria” as currently defined in the Act. To examine and consider how the application of the “relevant criteria” should be given effect and by whom. To examine the role of the Minister in assessing the “relevant criteria” from a public interest perspective and the best mechanism to do so. To examine international best practice, including the applicability of models from other countries.

Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Taoiseach his plans for a new programme for Government. [37537/18] 02/10/2018WRA00600The Taoiseach: The Programme for a Partnership Government was agreed in May 2016 during the formation of the Government. This is a five year programme of work being under- taken for the duration of the present Dáil. The Government publishes progress reports on the Programme for Government each year - the second of which was approved by cabinet in May 2018 and is published on my Depart- ment’s website. This report reflects the significant work undertaken by all Government Depart- ments to deliver progress across a wide range of issues, including housing and homelessness, education, health and rural development. There is more work to be done. The Government remains committed to tackling challenges head on. The experience of the last two years means it is now reasonable to chart an ambitious path for the remaining three years of the current Dáil’s term. That path is about ensuring that – to the greatest extent possible – every citizen is enabled to achieve their full potential. We will continue to work towards improving access to our health services; increasing the supply of affordable housing; planning for Brexit; generating quality employment; driving justice and policing reform; continuing the gains that have been made in education; and much more besides.
