Workers' Rights: Motion [Private Members] (16 Sep 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: I met with Debenhams workers in my constituency on Monday. I have also met with them on a number of previous occasions. They are a fantastic group of people. They remain strong. They are unbowed and unbroken. If anybody thinks they will wait this out and expect the workers to give up their protest, it is not going to happen. They would be very much mistaken. The workers' passion and...

Last week, every single day, in University Hospital Limerick there was an average of 50 people on trolleys.

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.

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...

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...

I was disappointed that Ms Considine made no commitment to extend this opening period....
