David Cullinane: Hear, hear.
- National Cancer Strategy: Motion [Private Members] (16 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: Sometimes you have to own your own failures. I am looking at the countermotion from the Government. Not only does the Government not own its own failures, but in a breathtaking and very arrogant and deliberate way, it actually misrepresents what has been said by all those healthcare professionals who have come out very strongly with regard to the lack of funding for the national cancer...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: I welcome all of the witnesses. Ms O’Connell mentioned that the previous session the committee had on long Covid took place in October 2022. This is correct. At that meeting, the HSE informed us the knowledge about long Covid was still emerging and evolving, as Ms O’Connell pointed out. The HSE stated that over time the services provided to sufferers would develop and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: I thank Ms Corey and Ms O'Connell. In her opening statement Ms O’Connell said that many of the long Covid clinics remain unstaffed or understaffed. There are staff but there is understaffing in most, if not all, of them. I am looking at the briefing document we got from the HSE, which speaks about the eight post-acute Covid clinics and the six long Covid clinics, and there is one...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: With regard to the centre of excellence and the one-stop shop that was promised, Ms O'Connell has said this is not in place. I do not see it mentioned anywhere in the opening statement from the HSE so I assume it does not exist and has not been progressed. What was Ms O'Connell's understanding of what that one-stop shop was meant to do?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: I thank Ms O'Connell for that. She mentioned GPs and in my first question about improvements, she said there are examples of GPs who have done the research in this area and are responding very well but she also said is not the case across all GPs. Has Long Covid Advocacy Ireland had any engagement with the Irish College of General Practitioners, ICGP?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: It does and the committee should probably write to the ICGP to get an update from it on what training it has provided and pass that on to the witnesses to see if more can be done because that is an important area. My last question concerns the recognition of long Covid as a long-term illness. Yesterday, the Government announced the temporary special scheme for paid leave for healthcare...

David Cullinane: I thank Ms O'Connell.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: Go raibh maith agat. The witnesses are all very welcome. They heard the testimony from the first session. The witnesses in earlier are people who are sufferers of long Covid and advocate for patients. Their experience has been slightly, or I would say radically, different from some of what I have heard said here, which is a bit alarming. I just want to start with the last session we...
