Health (Amendment) (Professional Home Care) Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (24 Sep 2020)

Réada Cronin: I commend Deputy Colm Burke on the Bill. I welcome the opportunity to speak as it will allow me to talk about the care of our older people. In this regard we are really talking about ourselves because, if we are lucky, old age will come to us all. I am sure that most of us here would like to live independently at home for as long as possible and then, if necessary, with some form of...

Covid-19 (Transport): Statements (23 Sep 2020)

Réada Cronin: With regard to public transport and Covid-19, I want to raise the roads less travelled within and between the towns and hinterlands of north Kildare and the connectivity between these areas and the rest of the country and, in the main, Dublin. For many in north Kildare, Dublin is so close but for medical appointments or a visit to family and friends the lack of public transport makes it a...

Climate Action: Statements (17 Sep 2020)

Réada Cronin: I am glad to see the Minister back again. I congratulate him on his new post. I hope the United Nations report on biodiversity did not keep him tossing and turning in the leaba last night. Between that report and the screening of "Unquiet Graves" on RTÉ 1 yesterday, I certainly did not get my seven hours' sleep, but I digress. Few politicians get to debate not just the kind of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Maternity Services (9 Sep 2020)

Réada Cronin: I thank the Minister of State for her response. I still believe a solution must be found. There is no shortage of personal protective equipment, PPE. At the start of this pandemic, we are all very anxious and there was a shortage of PPE. Naturally, it had to be kept for our healthcare workers but there is no shortage now so a solution can be found. Labour can go on for 24 hours, or more...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Maternity Services (9 Sep 2020)

Réada Cronin: This is such a serious issue for expectant parents that it requires us to choose the terms we use very carefully, but the only word that comes to mind to describe the position is "bonkers". It is straight up bonkers that an expectant father can go for a pint in a dry pub with a €9 meal and will soon be able to go for a pint without a meal in a wet pub, but he cannot accompany his...

Réada Cronin: I commend my comrade, Teachta Cullinane, on bringing forward this important motion. For many of us, time is of the essence in catching and treating cancer. Medicine is so advanced that a person has the opportunity to become cancer-free if a diagnosis is made and treatment is begun as soon as possible. Since the Covid-19 crisis, I have been contacted by people and families all across north...

Réada Cronin: I thank the witnesses for their hard work trying to keep the country safe. A friend called me yesterday to tell me to turn on "Drivetime" because the Kildare county coroner, Professor Denis Cusack, was on. I heard that, according to him, he had sent his report to Dr. Glynn. I asked the then Minister, Deputy Harris, to examine this-----

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: State Response to Recent Spike in Covid-19 Cases (Resumed) (26 Aug 2020)

Réada Cronin: Okay. I asked the then Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, to investigate this matter in early June. Will Dr. Glynn examine Professor Cusack's report, please, and undertake a swift process to determine why Kildare suffered so disproportionately? I had believed it was because we had more nursing homes than other counties, but that was not the case. There is some reason for Kildare...
