Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Apr 2024)

Simon Harris: Gabh mo leithscéal. It does matter because when you publish draft legislation alongside a referendum, stating that it will be the law if people vote "Yes", it has to count for something. I welcome the constructive way in which the Deputy engaged on the matters. I am not being coy about the three matters. I am being honest. The Government has yet to consider them, but we intend to...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Apr 2024)

Holly Cairns: To hear that a year after a report was given to the Government it has not been considered is extremely worrying. I heard the Minster for Health say yesterday that we have to be cognisant of what people voted for in the repeal referendum and in any plan to reform the law and the Taoiseach referenced it now too. I do not know if they are suggesting that they think the majority of people who...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Apr 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy McDonald. First, I answered her three questions sequentially and clearly. I will continue to engage with her on the three answers I gave her. Second, it is a little dismissive to suggest words and rhetoric when 120 procedures this year is not rhetoric and massive levels of investment in theatres and hiring more nurses and doctors are not words; they are real actions. I know...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Apr 2024)

Holly Cairns: Stop the clock. I am just waiting for them to leave. The "RTÉ Investigates" programme about our abortion services that aired last night was harrowing. It was also infuriating because everybody in this Chamber is already aware of all of the problems with these services. The Government has been sitting on the expert report that pointed out these problems for 12 months. Instead of...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Apr 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach says that nobody wants to see children in agony and pain, but that is exactly what we see. I spoke last night to one mother whose child is now no longer a child. They are now 19 and inoperable. Why are they inoperable? They are inoperable because they waited and waited and waited. The mother said directly that they followed all the right protocols and all the care paths -...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Apr 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: Scoliosis is a debilitating and painful condition for a person's spine twists and curves. It can cause the ribcage to press against the lungs and internal organs making it increasingly difficult to breathe. It is especially tough on young children. Where children do not get the surgeries they need on time, the consequences are devastating. The longer they wait, the more complex the...
