- Seanad: Directly Elected Mayors: Statements (29 Jan 2019)
Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I thank the Minister of State. It was very eventful here before he came in. It was a great honour for us all to be in the Chamber today. My colleagues in Fianna Fáil support the roll-out of directly elected mayors in our cities. However, I am concerned that the Government's decision to send the idea of a Dublin mayor to a citizens' assembly is a delaying tactic. Dublin should lead...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I was staggered to read over Christmas that after 47 days of being issued, a hospital bill for cancer patients who do not have a medical card or private health insurance inpatient charges of up to €800 had not been paid. After a year of treatment such as chemotherapy or radium therapy, the patient is referred to a debt-collection agency under the HSE policy. Cancer has taken over...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Electoral and Referendum Reform: Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government (23 Jan 2019)
Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I welcome this proposal and the functions which would be assigned to the commission. We have seen lately in different referendums that people will vote for something that they feel is important to them.
