- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Public Sector Secondment: Minister for Health (22 Jun 2023)

What I am stating very clearly is that the agency we have managing...

Stephen Donnelly: The Deputy did say that, in fairness. I invite him to look back at his last contribution in terms of why the board did not do this, why did they not do that, why did they not do the other, why did they not respond to this letter. Neither the Deputy nor I can answer that question.

- Nursing Home Care: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)
Stephen Donnelly: I welcome this opportunity to address the House and thank the Deputies for tabling what is a largely sensible motion, bar one piece in it which does not make sense to me at all and which I will come to at the end. Broadly, however, I think the motion has been tabled in good faith and it is a very sensible motion. On that basis we will not oppose the motion. It is an important opportunity...

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (28 Jun 2023)
Stephen Donnelly: As the Deputy is aware, the HSE is in the middle of the largest expansion in many years and part of the reason for the additional funds being drawn down by the HSE this year is that it is substantially ahead of its targets for treating patients.
