Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Awareness, Prevention and Services for the Treatment of Sepsis: Discussion (15 Nov 2023)

Seán Crowe: I am conscious that there is a public information element to this in the symptoms that people get. These include low blood pressure, fever and increased heart rate. Further, Lil Red’s Legacy Sepsis Awareness Campaign talks about shivering fever, feeling very cold, extreme pain or discomfort, pale or discoloured skin, being sleepy and difficult to rouse, being confused, feeling like...

Escalation of Violence in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Nov 2023)

Seán Crowe: The number of dead and injured in Gaza is so large that it almost defies our ability to comprehend. There are 11,180 dead, 4,609 of whom are children and 3,900 of whom are children. There are 28,200 injured and 2,700 trapped in rubble. By the time this debate ends, 12 more children will have been killed. Children are being wiped out by the murderous Israeli military, which is hell-bent on...

Defective Dwellings Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Nov 2023)

Seán Crowe: I thank my constituency colleague, Deputy Duffy, for bringing forward the Bill. As early as 1977 the Law Reform Commission recognised the gap in legislation and the very real challenges facing home owners who find themselves in a defective property and the challenge in trying to ascertain who is legally liable and where the blame lies, be it the builder, the subcontractor, the architect, the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)

Seán Crowe: Apologies have been received from Senators Hoey and Black. I am told some of the members will be attending a Private Members' Bill and I think Deputy Durkan is next door at the finance committee meeting. I therefore apologise if people leave, come and go, but that is the nature of these meetings. Before we get to the main item on today's agenda, the draft minutes of the committee meeting...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)

Seán Crowe: We have almost come to the end. Generally, there seems to be consensus that people are in favour of the Bill. The witness mentioned that, at the moment, 11,000 people are using this scheme. I am surprised we have not even done an assessment of those people in terms of encouraging others into this system. For anyone listening at home, we would encourage them, if they have accommodation, to...

It would be useful for the committee and for the people who are listening in at home. There is a public element to these committees and that might be useful for people. I do not think there is anything else....

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2023)

Seán Crowe: It is hard to believe that in the new year, it will be 13 long years since Fine Gael took office. Things have gone from bad to worse and we now have an abject crisis in housing. During much of that time, the Minister's party has supported those Fine Gael Governments. We have heard the Taoiseach say that we have turned a corner. The Tánaiste insists we have made great strides. I...
