- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Environmental Impact of Local Emissions: Discussion (30 Nov 2022)
Jackie Cahill: Thank you. I will conclude the meeting. I do not know how we are going to take this to the next stage. The only commitment I will make this evening is that the committee will meet in private session and we will discuss what we can do to take this forward. As someone said, a full tribunal is outside the scope of this committee. However, we have heard the evidence this evening and it is on...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticulture Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (30 Nov 2022)
Jackie Cahill: On behalf of the committee, I thank Mr. Boland for his frank answers and for going through his report in such detail.

We will discuss this matter at a private meeting in order to see how we can advance the...

Jackie Cahill: We are hearing the evidence this evening, but for the record, nothing has been proven on this case. I am not in any way trying to be smart or anything else but we have had evidence presented against many State agencies this evening. Unfortunately, we have never got to a case where somebody has adjudicated on this, so I wish to say there has been no verdict on any of the State agencies. I...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services Staff (29 Nov 2022)
Jackie Cahill: I thank the Minister of State and I acknowledge her efforts in the area of disability. I also acknowledge the work the staff are doing. No staff working in this service want to see waiting lists. When parents who are waiting for an assessment and services for their child ring me, their frustration is so palpable. They very much feel they are letting down their child and not giving them...

Jackie Cahill: I want to raise the issue of the number of psychologists on the north Tipperary children's disability network team, CDNT. I recently received a response to a parliamentary question I submitted to the Minister for Health in which I was informed that there are currently seven whole-time equivalent psychology posts in the area. Following further inquiries, however, I came to learn that two of...

Yes, we have to meet the challenges of climate change, but if that hinders our...
