Deputy Enda Kenny asked the Taoiseach if he will report on the implementation of the revised Programme for Government; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48402/10] An Taoiseach (Deputy Brian Cowen): I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 to 5, inclusive, together. As the Deputies are aware, the core focus of the renewed programme is to stimulate sus- tainable economic recovery and job creation. It sets out the agreed areas of focus for each individual Minister whose duty it is to ensure that those commitments within their particular portfolios are implemented. As I have stated on many occasions, we all have to adapt to changed economic circumstances. The international environment, while showing signs of recovery, is still fragile. Our focus is to stabilise our finances. Furthermore, we need to increase the competitiveness of the economy such that when the economic recovery takes place we are best positioned to take advantage of that recovery. The renewed programme for Government takes account of these realities and sets out mechanisms that will allow us to achieve these objectives. 705 Ceisteanna— 18 January 2011. Questions [Deputy Brian Cowen.] The implementation of the renewed programme is an ongoing process which takes account of developing circumstances including the availability of resources. A progress report detailing the programme’s implementation is the subject of ongoing evaluation and will be made avail- able shortly. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Among the commitments in the programme for Government is a commitment that the Government will proceed with the proposal to hold a constitutional referendum on children’s rights. I have had the opportunity to meet the Minister of State with responsibility for children, Deputy Barry Andrews, and I do not intend to go into the details of that. It is not what this question is about. Given that we had all-party consensus and that we now have the Government’s own proposed wording, is it the intention of the Taoiseach and the Government to hold a referendum on this new wording? Will the referendum be held in conjunction with the general election? Has the Taoiseach given his blessing to Deputy Barry Andrews’s stated intent to have that referendum in the course of the Government’s remaining time? If so, when will the referendum Bill be published? On a separate matter, the last time we addressed the programme for Government in the Dáil, which was prior to the 2011 Budget Statement, I pointed out that, on education, the programme says, “Those with special needs will be safeguarded”. I asked the Taoiseach at that time if he would rule out any further cuts to special needs assistance and other supports and if he would keep to the commitment contained in the programme for Government to, “continue to develop therapy services for children with special needs attending mainstream schools”.I am sure Deputies of all political interests in the House know that, following a directive issued in December, special educational needs organisers, SENOs, are no longer in a position to appoint new special needs assistants, SNAs. In fact, the only power remaining to them is to cease SNA support for a specific child in need of special needs assistance in the classroom. Given the commitment in the programme for Government, the Taoiseach’s own response before the 2011 budget and the fact that children who are, by SENO assessment, in need of special support are not getting it, will the Taoiseach, in the weeks remaining to him, ensure that this draconian diminution of support is reversed, in the interest of children who need this special intervention at a critical stage of their educational development? The Taoiseach: As for the first matter, I indicated late last year that much advanced, detailed and good work has been done regarding a proposed wording for the children’s referendum. As the Deputy noted, this was brought to the attention of the Cabinet and approval was given for the Minister of State, Deputy Barry Andrews, to speak to spokespersons from other parties in the House and then to proceed to publish a wording, subject to those discussions or on the basis of having those discussions at the same time or listening to what people have to say and getting their views on it. This issue has been raised constantly in this Chamber and much work has gone into it. I believe it to be a good body of work and those who have had the opportunity to study it regard it as such. The question of when it will be taken is a matter yet for decision, consistent with the require- ments for the holding of referendums. Consequently, no decision has been taken as yet for the holding of a referendum. However, I believe the work that has been done to date should be brought into the public domain and discussed with Opposition Members and the Government will make a decision. While the Government obviously will reserve its right to make a decision, it wishes to hear the views of others and this is the process in which the Minister of State is engaged at present. 706 Ceisteanna— 18 January 2011. Questions In respect of the second matter, as the Deputy is aware all the budgets have been allocated for this year. Moreover, he is aware that we are in a tight situation with regard to expenditure and the expenditure ceilings must be respected. The Government has made every effort in the course of pre-budgetary discussions over many Cabinet meetings to protect to the greatest possible extent those in our society who are most vulnerable. The Government is very proud of the record it has achieved on the disability issue over many years and there has been a transformation in the last five to ten years in the provision of funding, structures, resources and personnel. There now are thousands of the special needs assistants mentioned by the Deputy whereas ten years ago, they numbered in the hundreds. Again, it is a question of being obliged to work within budgets. Although it is not possible to change that, it also is important that the SNA system both works with the best possible efficiency and meets the needs of those who require it. A very good job is being done, in the circumstances, in that regard. I simply contend that the allocation of resources has been made. It will be a continuing priority for the Government to seek to protect to the greatest possible extent those who are most vulnerable in our society. We must ensure this is achieved to the greatest possible extent. This task will be ongoing during the course of this financial year but it certainly is a sentiment that has been expressed by the Government to the agencies concerned. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: In respect of the first matter, given that the Taoiseach has indicated that the Government has not yet made a decision, does he believe that within what presumably is a period of weeks that remains, there is a sufficient timeframe to accommodate the publication of the referendum Bill, the presumable appointment of a referendum com- mission and all the other elements, including the finance, to underpin a referendum campaign? Is this feasible or doable within the time that remains? On the second matter regarding children in need of special needs assistance, particular cases have been brought to my attention in which the individual child is regarded as being, in the phrase used by the special educational needs organiser, SENO, involved, of the highest priority. However, there is not at present within the gift of the SENO the opportunity to appoint a special needs assistant as the aforementioned child undoubtedly requires. The situation is highly serious and I again use the opportunity, in the limited time that is open to me, to ask the Taoiseach to revisit this particular area because children will lose the chance to avail of essential supports in preparing for their current and future education prospects. Finally, what of the section in the programme for Government entitled, Protecting the Family Home? I note that repossession orders have increased from 109 in 2007 to 311 in 2010.

Prayer. ———— Leaders’ Questions Deputy Micheál Martin: The Nyberg report is a candid and clear assessment of the origins of the financial crisis and at its core is an analysis of the systemic failures, which is far more challenging than a more narrow approach. It confirms that one cannot simply take action against a number of individuals and expect that everything will be fine. It explicitly addresses the roles of the banks, regulators, politicians—— Deputy Pat Rabbitte: No, it does not. Deputy Micheál Martin: ——Departments, auditors, the media and commentators. A Deputy: And Fianna Fáil. Deputy Micheál Martin: I suggest to the Taoiseach that were Members to respond properly to the lessons of what went wrong, they must commit themselves to a much wider set of specific regulatory reforms.

  • A Policy Trajectory Analysis of the National Strategy for Higher Education to 2030 in Ireland - an Institutes of Technology Perspective
    A Policy Trajectory Analysis of the National Strategy for Higher Education to 2030 in Ireland - An Institutes of Technology Perspective Ciarán P. Ó hAnnracháin A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education School of Education University of Sheffield January 2018 Abstract The National Strategy for Higher Education to 2030 was commissioned by the Higher Education Authority and was published in 2011 under the chair of Colin Hunt. The National Strategy, along with policy implementation and review documents, makes some radical proposals for the reconfiguration of the HE landscape in Ireland with much of the focus on the restructuring of the non- university sector, particularly the fourteen Institutes of Technology (IoTs), while maintaining a “binary divide”. The reform agenda has provided many challenges to the Institutes of Technology sector, and a policy trajectory approach to policy analysis is adopted to investigate the proposed changes to the Institutes of Technology sector. The tensions and shift in power dynamics are key elements to the process of reform in what is a contested space. These tensions are explored from the perspective of the Institutes of Technology sector through a process of critical discourse analysis conducted in the policy document and semi-structured interviews with key policy stakeholders. A historical policy review of the evolution of the non-university sector in Ireland, alternative models in the European Higher Education Area and alternative proposals to the Hunt Report are used as counterpoints to frame the analysis. The analysis revealed that while the Report was initially broadly welcomed, the proposals and their implementation are far more complex and contentious, and there is less cohesion, particularly in the Institutes of Technology, on how the sector can ensure parity of esteem with, and a distinctive mission from, the traditional university sector.

  • Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q4 2019
    Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q4 2019 May 2020 Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness Quarter 4 of 2019: Social Housing Construction Status Report Rebuilding Ireland: Social Housing Targets Under Rebuilding Ireland, the Government has committed more than €6 billion to support the accelerated delivery of over 138,000 additional social housing homes to be delivered by end 2021. This will include 83,760 HAP homes, 3,800 RAS homes and over 50,000 new homes, broken down as follows: Build: 33,617; Acquisition: 6,830; Leasing: 10,036. It should be noted that, in the context of the review of Rebuilding Ireland and the refocussing of the social housing delivery programme to direct build, the number of newly constructed and built homes to be delivered by 2021 has increased significantly with overall delivery increasing from 47,000 new homes to over 50,000. This has also resulted in the rebalancing of delivery under the construction programme from 26,000 to 33,617 with acquisition targets moving from 11,000 to 6,830. It is positive to see in the latest Construction Status Report that 6,704 social homes are currently onsite. The delivery of these homes along with the additional 7,813 homes in the pipeline will substantially aid the continued reduction in the number of households on social housing waiting lists. These numbers continue to decline with a 5% reduction of households on the waiting lists between 2018 and 2019 and a 25% reduction since 2016. This progress has been possible due to the strong delivery under Rebuilding Ireland with over 100,000 (100,124) households supported to the end of Q4 2019 since Rebuilding Ireland in 2016.

  • Downsizing the Community Sector
    Changes in employment and services in the voluntary and community sector in Ireland, 2008-2012 by Brian Harvey 2012 1 2 Executive summary and key judgements This report is an examination of the cumulative impact of the cuts in spending on the voluntary and community sector in Ireland over 2008-12, specifically examining their effect on employment. The voluntary and community sector had, at the start of the financial crisis in 2008, a value of €6.5bn, received about €1.89bn in state funding and employed 53,098 people (full-time equivalents). From 2008-2012, government spending on current services fell -2.82%, our benchmark. Using the government’s own figures from the budgets of 2008- 2012, government funding for the voluntary and community sector has fallen by the following amounts: Health services, the largest funder - 4.5% to -29% Voluntary social housing, the next largest - 54% National supports -48% Local Community Development Programme - 35% Initiatives against drugs - 29% Family support projects - 17% Dormant accounts -87% In response, voluntary and community organisations have sharply reduced their spending, their last options being the dismissal of staff and the closure of services. Such a dramatic full in funding is estimated, based on a contraction in the order of 35%, to lead to a loss of employment in the voluntary and community sector of 11,150 jobs by end 2013 and that employment in the sector may be down to 36,638 by end 2015. The voluntary and community sector works alongside public services, whose numbers have also been sharply reduced and are scheduled to fall by 37,500; and by the closure of state agencies valued by and important for the functioning of an effective voluntary and community sector.

  • The Word “Legend”
    True Legends are Gathering in Ballybofey… The word “Legend” is an often overused word in describing great sporting prowess or great GAA games and an official definition states “anyone or anything whose fame promises to be enduring”. The exploits of the youthful Clare Hurling team in winning the Liam McCarthy Cup on Saturday evening last, and in doing so beating a well fancied Cork side managed by the great Jimmy Barry Murphy, are already gaining legendary status. The fact that Cork only managed to lead both games for only 90 seconds is a testament to the Clare team but a word of warning….legends are not made in one sporting year !! The more mature readers will recall the fair haired Pat Spillane from the Templenoe Club in the Kingdom of Kerry, setting off on many a solo run from his own half back line and kicking score after score in All-Ireland Finals…I thought that he ran on the tips of his toes..!!!!…then again Legends can perform true feats of skill. True Legend…11 Munster Medals, 2 National Football Medals, 8 All-Ireland Medals and 9 All-Star Awards. Or Colm O Rourke gracefully weaving around flat-footed corner backs to score goals and points at ease, almost like a giant in slow motion. True Legend. 5 Leinster Medals, 3 National Football Legends, 2 All- Ireland Medals and 3 All-Star Awards. Peter Canavan struck fear into whole football teams when he got the ball within scoring distance and his deft touches when scoring goals would be the pride of any Premiership player on €150k a week.

  • The Changing Structure of Irish Sub-National Governance
    Local Government Research Series Report No.4 January 2013 The changing structure of Irish sub-national governance Muiris MacCarthaigh In the midst of multiple reform programmes at national and sub-national levels, and in order to avoid incoherence, it will be important to manage coordination of local government reforms and abide by the vision as set out in ‘Putting People First’ for Irish local government contents excutive summary 2 1.

Challenges emerging 26 references 34 Dr. Muiris MacCarthaigh is a Research Officer with the Institute of Public Administration Report No.4 January 2013 1 The changing structure of Irish sub-national governance executive summary irish government at all levels is currently undergoing arguably its most intensive period of reorganisation and realignment since independence. the future shape and role of local government has been the focus of recent media consideration, but less emphasis has been given to the current and proposed developments affecting non- elected local and regional public bodies. in this paper, building on a survey of local and regional bodies in ireland published by the institute of public administration in 2007, the current landscape of irish sub-national governance is considered, and a number of issues pertinent to the reform agenda are raised. since the publication of the oecD’s seminal report on the irish public service in mid 2008, a series of reports and programmes have been published which have directly or indirectly made recommendations for reforming irish sub-national government, both in structural terms with a view to consolidation, but also in relation to resource allocations.
