- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Access to CAMHS for Individuals with Dual Diagnosis: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)
Mary Seery Kearney: That leads to two follow on questions. The first relates to recruitment. At present, there is a recruitment freeze in the HSE, but disability services are exempt from this. Are CAMHS services exempt? The CDNTs are hugely under-resourced. I have talked to some of the members of those teams over the years and found that many are of the opinion that parents amplify, exaggerate and...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Protecting Vulnerable People: Discussion (5 Dec 2023)
Mary Seery Kearney: Can we listen to what Dr. McDonagh is actually saying? I am sorry but Dr. McDonagh has the floor. I am sorry to interrupt, but any time she comes before the committee, it is exceptionally valuable. It is always very challenging, and it is correct that we are challenged. I want to hear from Dr. McDonagh, not from anybody else. It is not appropriate for anybody else-----

The whole point of this morning was to not have others speak for Dr. McDonagh. She demonstrated that very well, and that being the point. I am used to Dr. McDonagh making that point so it was very powerful. However,...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Protecting Vulnerable People: Discussion (5 Dec 2023)
Mary Seery Kearney: I thought someone was being incredibly rude and wanted them to be removed from the room if they were undermining Dr. McDonagh in any way. It suggests I might be somewhere on the same page with her. Dr. McDonagh and Mr. Wycherley, and Professor O'Neill and Dr. Hartney, have expressed exactly what is one of our concerns throughout this committee's meetings. That there is the lived experience...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Protecting Vulnerable People: Discussion (5 Dec 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Protecting Vulnerable People: Discussion (5 Dec 2023)
Mary Seery Kearney: Dr. McDonagh's testimony was very powerful and I feel totally inadequate in following her with a question other than to say that it is very powerful. I also hear Dr. McDonagh make the point regarding Travellers and suicide and the value of people in our State. I very much hear and want to honour that. I also want to address something from the last round of questions where Professor O'Neill...
