- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: When we discussed this on Committee Stage, and there was lengthy discussion of this with the Minister's officials at briefings on this matter too, the concern that we had was that it could be perceived that providers were being asked to police access to services, so I welcome the fact that the wording here essentially says that the regulator must be satisfied on the basis of information...
- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: Again, I raised concerns on Committee Stage, and on Second Stage, that the net loss of income was not covered under reasonable expenses so the fact that the Minister has agreed to that and that the amendments reflect that and use the terminology that was recommended in the various amendments by Members of the Opposition is very helpful. I thank the Minister for that and I will be supporting...
- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: The current draft of the Bill provides that children in very limited circumstances can participate in AHR, for example in egg donation, where a procedure or a progressive disorder - that is the terminology that was used in the original draft – is likely to cause infertility. As the Minister said, these amendments remove the references to "progressive disorder". I hear what the...
- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: If I am reading the amendments correctly, they provide that where two intending parents enter into an arrangement but one dies before the embryo transfer takes place, the previously given consent is considered revoked. I have been asked to ask the Minister whether any provision has been made, allowed or considered for intending parents to indicate ongoing consent in the event of a death so...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Community-based Cancer Support Services: Discussion (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: I welcome our witnesses. I will start by giving a shout out to the Solas cancer support centre in Waterford in my constituency for the great work they do. I visited the centre last year in advance of the budget and the ask then was the same as is being asked now and which is the purpose of the meeting. I was blown away by the range of services provided. It struck me coming away from that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Community-based Cancer Support Services: Discussion (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: My question is more about whether the centres have seen a drop-off.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Community-based Cancer Support Services: Discussion (29 May 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Community-based Cancer Support Services: Discussion (29 May 2024)
