Trends in Mortality and Estimates of Excess Mortality: Statements (18 Oct 2023)

David Cullinane: You do indeed. I welcome the fact that we have statements on trends in mortality and estimates of excess mortality.

I have seen some misinformation and mischaracterisation in respect of this topic, especially online, which...

Investment in Healthcare: Statements (19 Oct 2023)

David Cullinane: We were all hoping that we would hear more from the three Ministers today. Today, from my perspective, it is more about the Government trying to control the narrative, change the story and shift the blame but not fix the problem it created with the chronic and very deliberate underfunding of our health service. In reality, we are now being told that we should stand logic on its head, that...

Notwithstanding my opinion on it, however, Ms O'Shea's clear recommendation is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Oct 2023)

David Cullinane: The last time we were here I asked about the sequential implementation of the recommendations and what was felt was possible here because there are some recommendations that I would argue need to be teased out. I ask the witnesses to echo that again in terms of their recommendations to legislators, where would they start, what could be done immediately and how legislation could be changed. ...
