Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Nov 2021)

Martin Conway: As people might be aware, next Sunday, 14 November, is International Diabetes Day. We have come a long way in this country in terms of supporting and providing treatment and so on for people with diabetes. Unfortunately, that is not the case in the mid-west. The diabetes unit in the mid-west hospital is grossly inadequate to support the needs of people with diabetes in Limerick. There are...

Seanad: Science Week: Statements (11 Nov 2021)

Martin Conway: It is appropriate that Senator Boylan is chairing this debate, given her commitment in life to science and the education of young people in that respect. I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I heard some of what the Minister, Deputy Harris, said. I am glad that science is a key commitment of their Department, given that it is extremely important. Recently, we have witnessed how...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Hospital Services (16 Nov 2021)

Martin Conway: I thank the Minister of State for updating the House. The DAFNE programme is a critical part of the management of diabetes. Professionals not being in place means that it cannot be provided, and if it is not provided sooner rather than later, the Government will have to consider an alternative approach, that is, making professionals in other diabetic clinics available to Limerick. There is...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Nov 2021)

Martin Conway: I, too, raise the issue of the booster vaccine. Vulnerable people under the age of 50 were not prioritised quickly enough for the vaccine. I welcome that this is being addressed now. I call on the Leader to arrange for the Minister for Health to come to the House next week or the week after that to provide an update on the operational arrangements for the booster vaccine. There is much...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Nov 2021)

Martin Conway: I welcome the appointment of Kieran Mulvey to help in resolving the dispute in the Doolin Coast Guard unit. As my colleagues will be aware, that unit was stood down two weeks ago, primarily due to HR issues and the resignation of several members. Now that Kieran Mulvey has been appointed, I call on all parties to engage meaningfully with him with the objective of getting the Doolin Coast...

Seanad: Report on Victim’s Testimony in cases of rape and sexual assault: Motion (17 Nov 2021)

This report that has been commissioned by the Committee on Justice is very welcome. The recommendations should be implemented in full. Whatever legislation is required to implement them can be initiated in the Seanad. We will have no problem making time...

Seanad: Report on Victim’s Testimony in cases of rape and sexual assault: Motion (17 Nov 2021)

As the Cathaoirleach of the Seanad Special Select Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU said earlier, we had a very...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Nov 2021)

Martin Conway: I, too, would like to be associated with the comments that were made on the retirement of our colleague Mr. Christy Kelly. He gave great service here for four decades and was always fantastic to deal with. He is very amenable and very accommodating, which is not easy at times. I wish himself and his wife Paula all the very best. We have been very successful in this country with our...
