Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Health Related Issues: Update (2 Mar 2021)

David Cullinane: In my view, the reason the offer of €100 per week was declined by the healthcare trade unions was because it was seen as a slap in the face by most student nurses and midwives. I ask the Minister to revisit this issue, engage with the healthcare trade unions and put in place a fair settlement. There is universal political support for dealing with this once and for all. I hear what...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Health Related Issues: Update (2 Mar 2021)

David Cullinane: I will ask the Minister about testing and tracing, which is important as well. Unless we keep on top of the virus and unless we can keep the numbers down low, that will present more challenges for our healthcare system.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Health Related Issues: Update (2 Mar 2021)

I want to relay to the Minister one remark that was made by the representative of the Irish Hospital Consultants...

We had lengthy discussions on Second Stage, in which we set out our overall view of the Bill and the Government's failure in this area. At the heart of that failure is the matter being addressed by the amendments tabled by various...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (25 Feb 2021)

David Cullinane: There are reports from many GP surgeries across the State that they have not received the vaccines they were due to receive in recent days. Today in Ballyfermot, a 91-year-old woman was in a GP surgery waiting for her vaccine but had to be told to go home. That is happening far too often. Numerous other such cases were raised with the Minister today. Can he find out what is happening and...

Health (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (24 Feb 2021)

David Cullinane: This Bill has been a long time coming. It is nine months since NPHET recommended that discretionary elements of travel should end. It is disappointing the solutions in respect of checks and controls at airports are still not in place today when we are debating a Bill which still does not solve the problem. It is still a case of half measures. The Bill will not deal with the real threat of...
