Seanad: Commencement Matters: Ambulance Service Provision (15 Jul 2015)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for coming to the House to respond to this issue regarding the national ambulance service, which is an issue in Kerry but also nationwide. It is about joined up thinking with regard to our national ambulance service and how the lack of that has affected Kerry, Cork and many other rural areas. The epitome of the position was highlighted by a response from officials within...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Ambulance Service Provision (15 Jul 2015)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister of State for her outline of the services. The main issue is the paramedics in Kerry will tell one there are simply not enough ambulances. It is not the case that they were not there before; they were and they were withdrawn. The emergency ambulance in Millstreet was taken away. The second ambulance in Killarney was taken away. Will the Minister of State ask for a...

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister of State.

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Jul 2015)

Mark Daly: I ask the Leader to organise a debate on the post office service. We saw what happened in recent days when the banks in Greece were shut. If we have a properly functioning post office service, in the event of a similar situation arising in Ireland, at least we would a post office service. What the Government is doing with the post office service is an omnishambles. This system will fall...

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Jul 2015)

Mark Daly: As the Minister pointed out, the service has continuously advised people to go accident and emergency departments, which is probably the worst place a person on the organ donor waiting list should go, because he or she could contract an infection. I also support my colleagues in calling for a debate on the Ballymurphy massacre. While the murder of Fr. Mullan was atrocious, the murder of...

Seanad: Transplant Patient Services: Motion (15 Jul 2015)

Mark Daly: I move: "That Seanad Éireann calls on the Government to ensure: - that the vacant posts in Beaumont Hospital in urology, with an interest in transplantation, be categorised as very urgent and receive an exemption to the current pay scales on offer; - that the recent practice of instructing transplant patients to attend hospital Emergency Departments be complemented by providing...

Seanad: Transplant Patient Services: Motion (15 Jul 2015)

Mark Daly: The most important point is that the hundreds of people who are awaiting organ transplants are suffering anxiety and are in a state of distress as a result of this uncertainty.

Seanad: Transplant Patient Services: Motion (15 Jul 2015)

Mark Daly: It is a disappointing reply even on the practical matter of continuing to ask transplant candidates to attend emergency departments given that we know their very attendance could affect their health and lead to a catastrophic result for them. I understand the issue of staff not being available, but to continue to ask people to put themselves in harm's way in a health service is deeply...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Sustainable Development Goals and Ireland's 60th Year of UN Membership: Discussion (9 Jul 2015)

Mark Daly: I thank the ambassador for his presentation. My focus is on the COP21 conference which is one of the most important to be held not only this year, but this decade. I read an interesting piece by Lara Marlowe on the conference in which she referred to the experience of an adviser to President Hollande at a previous conference in Morocco. A participant there said that people in Paris will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Business of Committee (9 Jul 2015)

Mark Daly: I attended the meeting of the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement yesterday, at which I spoke to other members about the correspondence received by that committee on the matter. I was not, unfortunately, in attendance at the committee when it dealt with correspondence matters. I retabled the motion for discussion at this meeting following on from the...
