Tracker Mortgages: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2017)

Lisa Chambers: Any trust that was starting to be restored in our banking system has been shattered. How did 11 institutions end up doing the exact same thing? Are citizens expected to believe that it is a coincidence? It is quite likely, as people expect, that we will no evidence to support that suggestion when this process ends. However, it is what people believe and they will always believe it. ...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination Arising From Rape: Mr. Tom O'Malley, NUI Galway; Dublin Rape Crisis Centre; and Dr. Maeve Eogan, Rotunda Hospital (25 Oct 2017)

Lisa Chambers: I thank the witnesses for their presentations and for their engagement on this matter.

Questions on Promised Legislation (25 Oct 2017)

Lisa Chambers: The first line of the health section in the programme for Government refers to access to timely care, which is laughable in a context of waiting lists exceeding 680,000. In my constituency of Mayo, we are in the bizarre position that children cannot even get on to the waiting list for children's physiotherapy services itself. We have 662 children who quality for paediatric physiotherapy, of...
