Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: General practitioners, GPs, are the cornerstone of our primary care services. Primary care is at the front line of health service provision and deals with the bulk of the health needs of our population. It has lower costs than acute care and can deliver a better preventative quality of care faster and closer to home. I do not need to emphasise the importance of our GPs but for the...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (11 Oct 2018)

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Schools Building Projects Status (11 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: It is freezing cold in the prefabs. Parents are concerned that the coming storm will do away with the prefabs altogether. That might not necessarily be a bad thing.
