Naoise Ó Cearúil: Mr. Gannon spoke about a media campaign the CRU plans to introduce around switching and the fact that households in particular should be looking to switch every year. We know of the likes of Switcher, Bonkers and oneswitch.ie. It can be quite a lengthy process, and that is for someone like me who is technically minded. I am conscious of older people in particular, people who are more...

Naoise Ó Cearúil: I appreciate the opportunity to raise this issue, but I do so with anger and frustration on behalf of Evan Gardiner and his family, who are constituents of mine in Kildare North who have been utterly failed by Children's Health Ireland and by the system. In September 2022, Evan was assessed by Mr. Pat O'Toole who recommended urgent surgeries on his knees, his ankles and, potentially, his...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Waiting Lists (1 Oct 2025)

Naoise Ó Cearúil: Go raibh maith agat, a Aire Stáit. This surgery was scheduled previously, and it was cancelled. Surgery is a traumatic and worrying period for any person no matter what age.

For surgery to be scheduled, cancelled,...

Situation in Gaza: Statements (1 Oct 2025)

It is welcome and encouraging that there has been progress on a peace proposal and that significant...

Naoise Ó Cearúil: An bhfuil sé sin alright, a Theachta? Tá roinnt ceisteanna agamsa anois. Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as ucht teacht isteach inniu.
