Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Agriculture Schemes (6 Apr 2022)

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Agriculture Schemes (6 Apr 2022)

Seán Fleming: The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy McConalogue, asked me to respond to this Topical Issue matter on his behalf.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Agriculture Schemes (6 Apr 2022)

The proposed compensation...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Insurance Coverage (6 Apr 2022)

Seán Fleming: My understanding - and I stress the word “understanding” - is that although Clare County Council oversees the fair and supports it with financial assistance, the fair itself falls out outside the scope of the Casual Trading Act 1995 due to its historical charter status. As a result, it cannot avail of group insurance schemes operated by the market, active support teams and the...

National Maternity Hospital: Statements (31 Mar 2022)

Seán Fleming: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the new national maternity hospital. It is important to acknowledge that women have been failed by the State for too long, which this Government recognises. My colleague, the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, published the Women's Health Action Plan 2022–2023 just a while ago. This puts women at the heart of the policymaking process for the...

Seán Fleming: The essence of this debate is women's and children's health.

National Maternity Hospital: Statements (31 Mar 2022)

Seán Fleming: As I said, the women's health action plan deals with the issue of the national maternity hospital. There is rightfully a huge amount of interest in the national maternity hospital. The creation of the new national maternity hospital is the greatest infrastructure investment by the State in women's health. We have to recognise that we are building a once-in-a-generation world class national...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Management of Estates (31 Mar 2022)

Seán Fleming: I wish to point out, based on my earlier contribution, that there is extensive legislation in place to regulate the formulation of rules by management companies that cover multi-unit developments.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Medicinal Products (31 Mar 2022)

Seán Fleming: I thank the Deputy for his reference to the note I circulated before I spoke, which deals with the HSE having sufficient scope from the legislation to consider the unique circumstances surrounding orphan drugs, such as small patient numbers. The evidence suggests these expensive orphan drugs are getting reimbursed even, in many cases, when they far exceed the National Centre for...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Strategies (31 Mar 2022)

Seán Fleming: I will ask the office of the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, to make direct contact with the Deputy on the funding provided versus what was spent, the areas to which it was allocated and the funding that continues to be available, as I do not have that information to hand. Neurorehabilitation services play a critical role in supporting recovery and maximising the ability of those with...
