Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: I suggest the legislation require the publication of the number of donations made by each hospital. We accept that there are quirks, but it should not come down to the fact that one hospital has an enthusiastic nurse or consultant and another does not. There should be a properly resourced system in place. Will the position on the issue related to cardiac deaths change under the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: We all agree that presumed consent, a soft opt-out or any other system should not be brought forward without proper resources. The donor audit report showed evidence of the value of the register and the role of specialist nurses, on which we all agree. Does Mr. Watt agree that, if families were informed that their loved ones wanted to be donors, as demonstrated by a driving licence or a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: I am just asking whether Mr. Watt agrees with the information we have seen.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: We all agree that specialist organ donor nurses are required.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: It is not a case of one or the other. They are required. We have seen, however, that if families do not know the intentions of their loved ones, the chances of their allowing organs to be donated when asked by a nurse are approximately 57%. If they know that their loved one wanted to be a donor, as opposed to being among the 2% to 5% of people who do not want to be donors, the chances that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: I just want to ask this question. Why does the legislation not provide for what actually works?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: It is not a donor consent system but just a list of those who have opted out. It does not state who has opted in.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: It gave up because it introduced the concept of presumed consent.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: Are there times when organs donated here are sent abroad? The legislation should include the required requests system in the hospitals and make sure that the driving licence information that has been captured about people's intentions is used and incorporated into this legislation.

Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (23 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: Senator Noone should leave the Fine Gael crowd alone.

Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (23 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: I extend my deepest sympathies to the Quinn family and all of the friends of the former Senator, Feargal Quinn. When he gave his last address to the House, he used one of his seanfhocail, éist le fuaim na habhann agus gheobhfaidh tú breac or listen to the sound of the river and you will get the trout. This reflected his philosophy in life, which was to listen and then to achieve....

Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (23 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: Subsequent to the debate, 20 more staff were appointed. While we lost the battle, we won the war. As a result of the appointment of those staff, lives are being saved. I am sure Feargal's family is not aware of that victory because it is not in legislation. It is, however, a huge achievement. The value of this House and of Feargal Quinn lives on. It is appropriate to quote from the...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Hospital Staff Recruitment (19 Nov 2019)

Mark Daly: I know this item will be of interest to the Leas-Chathaoirleach and to everybody in County Kerry. I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, for taking the time to come to the House to give us an update on the issue of staffing levels in Kenmare Community Hospital. As the Minister of State will be aware, the hospital has been open since 2013 and, in fact, the official sod-turning...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Hospital Staff Recruitment (19 Nov 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister of State for taking the time to come here to give the reply on behalf of the Minister of State, Deputy Daly. I will focus on the value-for-money element. There is no value for money in having a facility that cost €8 million with half of it empty for six years. While the Minister of State pointed out that no suitable candidates were recruited at the time, the...
