Public Health, Well-being and National Drugs Strategy: Statements (10 Sep 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: I wish the Minister of State the best of luck in his new role. Unfortunately, as I also said to the previous occupant of the position, I do not think he will be successful because he is not allocating the proper funding that is needed. The previous Minister of State went out to a huge number of communities. She was in my community of Limerick for a while and met a huge number of groups....

Covid-19 (Health): Statements (9 Sep 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: I will raise the issue of ongoing capacity and staffing issues at University Hospital Limerick, UHL. I am sure the Minister will be aware of it. The problems in this hospital are unresolved and figures show, unfortunately, we are a long way from having a resolution. In seven of the past eight days for which trolley figures are available, UHL has had the highest figure in the State. This...

Covid-19 (Health): Statements (9 Sep 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: Go raibh maith agat. I welcome the commencement of the construction of a 60-bed modular unit in UHL and acknowledge the HSE's efforts to commence the process of seeking planning permission for a 96-bed block but why it is taking so long? We have had an ongoing crisis for a number of years, since the amalgamation of the three local hospitals in Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's into UHL. We have...

Maurice Quinlivan: That is no bother, Acting Chairman. I welcome the opening remarks by both Ministers. They were very positive. As my colleague, Deputy Ó Laoghaire, said, we will check the Minister, Deputy Harris, on his actions on these and see how he gets on. Hopefully he will deliver on what he has said.

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: I refer to Mr. Gray's answers - or probably his non-answers - to the questions put to him by other members in respect of data collection. It is simply not credible that Mr. Gray would expect us not to ask about this matter. It has been the number one topic on all media channels since the Tánaiste said on Sunday that PPS numbers are somehow being collected at Dublin Airport. I would...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank Mr. Gray. He still has not answered the question. He must have known this would come up. I would like to ask Ms Considine about Shannon Heritage. She expressed concern about staff and the fact that the sites will not reopen in September. I understand they are to close at the end of August. I was disappointed that Ms Considine made no commitment to extend this opening period....

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: I wish to ask about Shannon Airport's separation from the DAA in 2013. The figures for Shannon Airport are quite clear. I have them in front of me. The numbers have not increased as quickly as those for Cork Airport. Has there been any discussion of Shannon returning to the DAA?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed) (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: My question is for Aer Lingus. I am a TD representing Limerick city. Shannon Airport is crucial to the economic development of the mid-west region and of particular importance is the Shannon-Heathrow service. When Aer Lingus made the decision to restructure at the start of the pandemic and stopped flights from Shannon, why did it allow flights from Cork and Dublin and why did it choose not...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed) (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: In reply to a Deputy earlier, Mr. Doyle referred to when demand for Shannon comes back. How will he know when demand for Shannon comes back if the airline has no scheduled flight from Shannon? How will he judge that?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed) (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: I understand that. I worked in the travel industry for 19 years and I know how search flights processes work. However, the question is who would search for a flight when one knows it is not there. How is Aer Lingus going to anticipate demand from and into Shannon?
