Catherine Noone: I wholeheartedly agree with what Senator Mac Lochlainn has said about the dumping issue.

That is reflected in how we are performing internationally on the environment. So much more needs to be...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: HIQA Report: Engagement with Tusla (20 Jun 2018)
Catherine Noone: I thank the representatives of Tusla for attending this afternoon's meeting. We appreciate it. They have acknowledged the systemic failures that exist within Tusla as an organisation. I do not intend it to be personal when I say that the people at the top of Tusla need to have a cold, hard look at the organisation based on this report. Perhaps they are doing that. It is too bad that we...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: HIQA Report: Engagement with Tusla (20 Jun 2018)
Catherine Noone: It relates to the point that was made by Senator Clifford-Lee with regard to social workers. Given the rate of turnover, I find it hard to believe there is no morale issue. I do not get what the difficulty is when it comes to social workers. There is an issue when it comes to front-line workers. The primary managers within Tusla are responsible for putting structures and protocols in...

Like most others, I was truly shocked to hear such major failings had occurred in how Tusla managed allegations of child sexual abuse. HIQA's report...

Catherine Noone: I thank the Minister of State at the Department of Health for taking this matter on behalf of the Minister for Health, on whom I call to consider introducing fibroscans to improve the diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD. Ireland is facing an epidemic of liver disease. NAFLD is driven by obesity and diets that are high in fat, sugar and salt. Sadly, many are unaware of the...
- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Disease Management (28 Jun 2018)
Catherine Noone: That is appreciated. I know of the good work the Minister of State is doing and could not agree more with the general idea that if we are and keep well, we will prevent disease. This is a tangible and specific way to prevent this disease at low cost. The answer is great, but the prevalence of the disease is worthy of a more specific measure. I would appreciate hearing any further comment...
