Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation Strategy: Discussion (3 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Was Mr. O'Brien right? Were his figures correct? Were they exactly right or roughly correct? Are the actual figures worse? Is it the Minister's position that there are recurring overspends and that there is not a single incident which places unprecedented pressure on the health service? Deputy Bernard J. Durkan was also right to say patients had to be at the centre of health services,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation Strategy: Discussion (3 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Mr. Duffy has acknowledged that there should be further engagement at some point . That is grand, but does the Minister not accept that the time might be now?

Perhaps the position is worse now, perhaps it is not - I do not know. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation Strategy: Discussion (3 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses. I am sure when we finished Sláintecare they probably hoped they would never be in this room again but here they are back. I will make a political point. I do not normally but my colleague has and I will join in. I welcome the Fianna Fáil commitment to Sláintecare. When we launched it, the strongest commitment we got from Fianna Fáil was that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation Strategy: Discussion (3 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: It was not and we were all in the AV room together. I am not the only person who saw it. My view is that the legislation comes first. The legislation to entitlements is the driver. Earlier, the Minister appeared to be putting it the other way around. When everything is put in place, then and only then are we going to be in a position to legislate for maximum waiting times and...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Second Stage (4 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: It is with great pride that I speak on behalf of Sinn Féin on this historic legislation. I intend to raise points in the spirt of co-operation and I wish to be as constructive as possible regarding the legislation because it is incredibly important that we get this right. The reason it is so important is that right across the world we have seen that, once abortion laws are passed, it...

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (10 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: This is also the third budget for which I have been in the Dáil Chamber. I have a new washing machine at home and it does not spin as much as this Government and its Fianna Fáil partners do in terms of this budget. When I look at the health section of the budget, behind the spin, the backslapping and the high-fiving that is going on, we see that the health service is now dependent...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I will be a small bit parochial to illustrate a broader issue. In this instance, I am sure the Chairman will not object because I believe he shares the concerns I have. Fingal County Council has an objective regarding the location of fast-food outlets. I fully accept the point that was made earlier about local shops being turned into what are effectively fast-food outlets. What is the...

Louise O'Reilly: In "A Healthy Weight for Ireland", one of the action points states that guidelines and support materials should be developed "for those working in developing the built environment for urban development and planning in relation to reducing the obesogenic environment".
