Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Jun 2023)

Paul Gavan: I again raise the issue of University Hospital Limerick, UHL, in respect of the HIQA report published just last week. I agree with the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, INMO, that it makes for bleak reading. I will summarise it as quickly as I can. In the 15 subcategories of the report listed, UHL was found to be fully compliant in just one area, substantially compliant in seven...

Seanad: Local Government Matters: Statements (28 Jun 2023)

Paul Gavan: It is good to see the Minister of State, Deputy O’Donnell. I am going to continue the theme of housing and I am sure the Minister of State will not be surprised by that. I have to be frank with him. The situation in Limerick city is dire, and I think the Minister of State knows that. The fact that no affordable homes were delivered in Limerick by the Government last year is an...

Paul Gavan: I second the amendment.

Seanad: Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (28 Jun 2023)

Paul Gavan: It is good to see the Minister back for what I expect is once last time considering where we are. I support this amendment because, not for the first time, it goes to the heart of one of the critical issues that, regrettably, he has never given an adequate answer to. He has never been able to justify this figure of 180 days nor has been able to justify why, if people have done that time,...

Seanad: Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (28 Jun 2023)

Paul Gavan: I am aware of the amendment on which I am speaking. I am also aware that this is one of the last occasions on which I can speak about this issue. The Acting Chairperson knows the rules for Report Stage. I am conscious in particular of all the people who have taken the time to be here or to watch the proceedings at home. They are very hurt by what is happening here. Many of them have been...

Seanad: Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (28 Jun 2023)

Paul Gavan: Let me be clear. The Minister is yet to give us a clear response on this issue. How does he justify the 180-day rule? How does he justify excluding thousands of people from this scheme? It is horrendous. As I have said to him before, he will not be remembered as the Minister who resolved these issues. He will be remembered as the Minister who continued to fail the survivors of mother...
