Hospital Waiting Lists: Motion [Private Members] (23 May 2023)

Catherine Connolly: I never get praise like that, a Chathaoirligh. May you enjoy it. I think it is appropriate that the Minister of State at the Department of Justice is here, because there is a complete lack of justice, fairness and equality in our health system. It is ironic that is has been left to the junior Minister for Justice to be here for a health debate. I thank Sinn Féin once again for...

Accommodation Needs for New Arrivals: Statements (23 May 2023)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the opportunity, however short, to take part in this debate. It is appalling that a small group of people would be allowed to burn out tents, board buses and block roads. That is unacceptable behaviour.

They did not tell me anything about a...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Care Services (23 May 2023)

Catherine Connolly: -----but, suspiciously, it has been out three times. It has produced two reports and I am waiting on a third. The earlier report, which was published the year before last, included mention of a day centre. The next report did not mention a day centre. It seems to me that the HSE is utterly failing in its duty. There was a lot more honesty in the past. Let me refer to the words of an...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Care Services (23 May 2023)

Catherine Connolly: That is the question. I have any amount of emails begging me to draw attention to what was happening prior to the pandemic because of problems with staffing. The day centre was allowed to go so the nursing home could keep opening. The beds in the nursing home are empty. This was a wonderful facility that got praise from HIQA. It failed to be compliant on two of the criteria but I do not...
