Topical Issue Debate: General Practitioner Services Provision (2 Feb 2017)

Jackie Cahill: Despite the Minister's reply, I do not believe the scarcity of GPs is being addressed. We spoke about health services the other night and about giving people the option of being cared for in their own homes. The preferred option of most people in their old age would be to be looked after in the security and comfort of their own home but if we do not have a proper GP service in rural Ireland...

Topical Issue Debate: General Practitioner Services Provision (2 Feb 2017)

Roads Funding: Motion [Private Members] (1 Feb 2017)

Jackie Cahill: I welcome this Private Members' motion. I found the Minister's comments extremely insulting. No one has a preserve on defending rural Ireland.
