Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Potential Impact of UK Withdrawal from the European Union: Discussion (6 Apr 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: It is very timely to have the witnesses here today because we are becoming increasingly aware of the implications of Brexit which certainly were not dealt with before the referendum was held in the UK. Increasingly, we are seeing that more and more areas are affected. It is good that we are looking at the humanitarian aid aspect. When I had my few minutes to speak during the Brexit debate...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Famine in Africa and Yemen: Médecins sans Frontières, Oxfam and Concern (6 Apr 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: The delegates have painted a very grim and stark picture. There was one positive mentioned by the last speaker about smart money having an impact and the communities in question being the most resilient. There is a lack of public awareness of this fact, which contrasts with the publicity Live Aid received years ago. Even a couple of years ago an RTE team in the Sahel streamed pictures...

Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): National Stroke Programme Implementation (11 Apr 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter. The Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, explained that he had to leave, but I know he will hear about it. This issue is particularly alarming because I was in the audio-visual, AV, room last week and heard from the Irish Heart Foundation and doctors who are involved in the treatment of strokes that there has been a regression from the...

Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): National Stroke Programme Implementation (11 Apr 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: Nobody is denying the progress that has been made. However, there is a real fear that that progress is being undermined. There is somewhat a discrepancy between the facts provided in the Minister of State's answer and what we heard last week in the AV room. There must be action around the rehabilitation services. As the Minister of State said, more people than ever are living and not...

Reform of An Garda Síochána: Motion [Private Members] (11 Apr 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: There is something inherently wrong in so many of our institutions, from the church, banking, various charities and bodies, and now the Garda. It is hard to believe that an organisation could make so many mistakes, and for so long. In my constituency of Dublin Central, we have had very serious criminal situations. We have had levels of violence almost normalised on our streets and...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Dublin-Monaghan Bombings (12 Apr 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: My question relates to the outstanding issues from the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, namely, the three all-party motions that were passed by the Dáil at various stages and the fact that the families of the victims will have been waiting 43 years next month, and if the Brexit negotiations are seen as a positive or negative in moving things forward.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Dublin-Monaghan Bombings (12 Apr 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: We have had quite a few exchanges on the matter and on each occasion the Minister has told me that dealing with the legacy of the past is a major priority and that both he and the Taoiseach have raised the matter with the British Prime Minister and the Secretary of State, stressing its importance. In December, the Taoiseach assured us that he would pursue all possible avenues. As the...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Dublin-Monaghan Bombings (12 Apr 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: It is difficult to accept that the British Government is still considering ways that "would adequately address the motions and be consistent with its obligations", which is the official jargon. My question is what about its obligations to the truth and justice for the victims and their families. Advising and being concerned have not brought the Justice for the Forgotten group any closer to...
