Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Cross-Border Healthcare Directive: Discussion (8 Mar 2021)

Joe O'Reilly: I agree with my colleague, Senator Robbie Gallagher, on the impact on the Border areas. We share the same constituency on the Border quite amiably and certainly so between elections.

That is a...

Joe O'Reilly: The Chairman's point that the scheme, while wonderful, indicates shortcomings and inadequacies in our health service that need addressing is a given. I congratulate PDFORRA.

There is a large PDFORRA membership living in Cavan town and beyond....

Joe O'Reilly: Aontaím go láidir gur chóir Seachtain na Gaeilge a cheiliúradh. Is é an tslí is fearr leis sin a dhéanamh ná iarracht a dhéanamh ár dteanga shaibhir dhúchais a úsáid eadrainn féin agus go poiblí. Chun tús a chur leis sin, ba mhaith liomsa na hionsaithe ar an nGarda a cháineadh go láidir. I have been...

Joe O'Reilly: I will follow on from where Senator Byrne finished off. He has a much more in-depth knowledge of these issues than I do but I hope the questions I ask will be of use to us in compiling our report and of use to others because many of those who are listening or watching online would like to ask the same questions since they are fairly fundamental. I join the Chairperson and Senator Byrne in...
