- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 38 - Department of Health (Revised) (25 Jun 2025) David Cullinane: I accept that, but Deputy Carroll MacNeill is the Minister and she said that she wants to achieve efficiency within the healthcare system.

Vote 38 - Department of Health (Revised) (25 Jun 2025) David Cullinane: I want to get clarification on a number of issues. Last year, the health committee considered the review into the termination of pregnancy Act 2018. It was a very detailed review, commissioned by the previous Government. The work was done by Ms Marie O'Shea BL, who made very clear recommendations. I do not see it anywhere in the programme for Government. I think the committee has written...
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 38 - Department of Health (Revised) (25 Jun 2025) David Cullinane: No, I do not need that. I know what was done operationally. There are issues that the Government has to make decisions on. What the system does with regard to resources is a different issue. I am talking about issues like the three-day wait. There were legislative changes. Those are what could be considered the more contentious issues.
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 38 - Department of Health (Revised) (25 Jun 2025) David Cullinane: I agree, but the point is that a considerable body of work was done. It is a very significant report, which stands on its own merits. We all have our own views on lots of the issues, which are complex. Because such a volume of work was done and it does stand on its own merits, it is important that the report be given the status it deserves. It is important for the public to know where the...

David Cullinane: 192. To ask the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 16 of 29 February 2024, and given the continuing prevalence of the large, colourful and attention-grabbing tobacco price lists used in shops to highlight certain tobacco products, if she will examine providing for such amendment in the Bill to further regulate nicotine inhaling products, which is currently being...
- Nursing Homes and Care for Older Persons: Statements (Resumed) (24 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: As was said, the first priority should be ensuring people are cared for in the home and in the community. The difficulty is that many older people are waiting for intensive home care packages. In the previous term and the previous programme for Government, the then Government promised a statutory home care scheme. It never the light of day. I am not sure when that will ever come. I...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Apprenticeship Programmes (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: I too have been contacted by the Waterford-Wexford ETB. The issue seems to relate to the contract training programme for apprenticeships. My understanding is that there was a bid process previously, known as a funding allocation request, FAR, to the then Department of Education, based on the number of apprenticeships an ETB would fund and they would get the funding on that basis....
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Apprenticeship Programmes (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: The Minister has acknowledged that a funding pressure has been identified so we know there is an issue. The question then is how it will be resolved. I welcome that the Minister said no class or apprenticeship will be either suspended or cancelled. I have been told by the Waterford-Wexford ETB that many of the phase 2 classes for July have not been called, which could affect up to 500...

David Cullinane: I have lost count of the number of times I have raised the need for funding for Waterford Airport in the House.

Despite all the personal statements of support I have received, more of which I have no doubt...
