- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Health Services for the Blind and Vision Impaired: Vision Ireland (24 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: I welcome all our witnesses. Their main call seems to be for a national vision strategy. They set out the reasons for that, including guiding policymakers and setting out a coherent plan. Representatives from the Irish Cancer Society who were before the committee a number of weeks ago talked about the national cancer strategy. While having a national strategy is very important, their...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Health Services for the Blind and Vision Impaired: Vision Ireland (24 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: I will add one point because we are tight on time. A national strategy is very important and I support Vision Ireland's call for it. Mr. Mullaniff talked about moving some of the services, or maybe putting more of a priority on community care as opposed to having a higher dependence on acute care, which is one of the tenets of Sláintecare that makes perfect sense. We are told the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Health Services for Persons with Lung Fibrosis: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: I welcome the representatives from the Irish Lung Fibrosis Association. I thank them for their advocacy. I know they are regular visitors to Leinster House and have correctly been lobbying all of us in standing up for patients in this area. I am looking at the four main asks in the opening statement. None of them are asks that should not be delivered in my view. I will start with the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Health Services for Persons with Lung Fibrosis: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: Before Ms Cassidy does so, I say to the Chair that this is not rocket science. The first thing we need is the patient registry. Without that, as Ms Cassidy has said, you cannot plan. Whether it is the current or a future Minister for Health or those in the HSE, you need to have the data. In far too many areas of healthcare we are not collecting the data. We do not have registries. This...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Health Services for Persons with Lung Fibrosis: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: I call for a debate on children's healthcare and in doing so I want to raise a very important point with the Taoiseach. On 16 April, during the Taoiseach's first Leaders' Questions, Uachtarán Shinn Féin Teachta McDonald raised the very serious issue of children with scoliosis and spina bifida with him. His response on the day was not to give full answers but to mislead the...

David Cullinane: The Taoiseach will have seen that the Journal.ie did a fact check-----
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: I am simply making the point that, independent of me, Sinn Féin and Fine Gael, the Journal.ie did a fact check and found the Taoiseach's claim to be false. I say again that it found the his claim to be false. I am asking the Taoiseach, in good grace, to withdraw the false claim he made. More importantly, I am asking for a debate on this issue. Last week, I raised the issue of Liam...
