Developments in Mental Health Services: Statements (19 Nov 2015)

Dan Neville: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate and welcome the Minister of State to the House. We come from a very low base, historically, in terms of our mental health services and how we have dealt with people who suffer from mental illness. My mother was a psychiatric nurse in the 1940s. The institution she worked in was known in her time as the mental hospital but 20 years...

Credit Union Sector: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (25 Nov 2015)

Dan Neville: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate and recognise the role the credit union movement has played.
