- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Primary Care Centres Provision (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister of State for coming into the House. The reason I asked him to come here today was to give us an update on the proposed primary care centre for Bangor Erris. I am not sure if he has ever been to Bangor Erris, County Mayo. How would I describe it?
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Primary Care Centres Provision (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: It is on the way into Belmullet and it is quite famous. It is also famous for the wonderful doctor we have there, namely, Dr. Miklos Penzes. He and his team provide a wonderful service to the community of Bangor. Since 2000 to 2001 we have been promised a fully equipped proper primary care centre in Erris, to be situated in Bangor. Recently there was some discussion about having it as...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Primary Care Centres Provision (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: I am glad that the needs assessment has taken place but it actually took place 20 years ago. I really plead with the Minister of State to prioritise this primary care centre and to understand its urgency. If the GP in Bangor Erris leaves, it is no good to us. It is a real urgency. I ask the Minister of State to go back and speak to the HSE about this. The HSE fully understands the...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Primary Care Centres Provision (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: May I clarify? Is the Minister of State saying it will not be 2019 or 2020 but after 2020 before Bangor will be concluded?
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Primary Care Centres Provision (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: That would be worrying. We need to get it brought forward.

Rose Conway Walsh: I know. I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach and the Minister of State.
- Seanad: Order of Business (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: I was shocked but not surprised to read at the weekend that the partners and spouses of people who receive the State contributory pension are now being forensically audited and means tested by the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection. In some cases, after means-testing, payments have been reduced or stopped altogether. The process in itself is really frightening for...
- Seanad: Death of Shane O'Farrell: Motion (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: I acknowledge the presence of Lucia O'Farrell and her daughter. I am also mindful of James O'Farrell and the other daughters who are not here today. I thank Senators Norris and Boyhan for giving us the opportunity to bring the Minister into the House to discuss this matter. Seven and a half years is far too long. We need a public statutory inquiry now and I hope the Minister will give us...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: I was watching proceedings earlier. Going back to 2008, I agree that the national cervical screening programme was absolutely the correct thing to do. There are no ifs and buts on that but we need to separate that from the decision to outsource to the USA. That was deadly dangerous and unforgivable. The witnesses may dispute that. I think that Dr. David Gibbons resigned over this because...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: I would not expect the witnesses to do so. That is why we also need the Minister here. What information would Mr. Breslin have given the Minister, such as whether the resources were in place, so that he could say that the audit would be completed in May, as he said at the time? Have there been any changes that did not allow it to be done?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: When did it start? I refer to the 1,800 women contacted in relation to the Royal College Obstetricians and Gynaecologists audit.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: I seek the start and finish dates so that we can tell women when it is likely to be completed. People feel let down because they were promised that it would be done in May, without going through all the processes involved.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: That is correct, yes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: Would Mr. McCallion say that they will all be moved by, say, 31 March?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: Can we say that they will all be completed, that is, that the full audit will be complete, by September this year?
