- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 May 2022)
Martin Conway: Last September, I tabled a Commencement matter on the human papillomavirus, HPV, vaccine. The Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, came in on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, and committed to eliminating the charge for the catch-up vaccination. I was quite disappointed when this was then referred to the national immunisation advisory committee, NIAC, because what this vaccine...

Martin Conway: I extend good wishes to former councillor, Noel Collins, who stepped down from Cork County Council on Monday after 55 years of service to the community of Midleton and the surrounding areas. Mr. Collins was chairman of Cork County Council and he had a unique style of representation. He had no mobile phone, computer or social media. He held his clinic by sitting on the wall outside the...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (31 May 2022)
Martin Conway: The situation at Dublin Airport last Sunday was totally unacceptable. Everyone was shocked and horrified that 1,000 people missed their flights from the airport last Sunday. I echo the calls for an immediate recalibration of flights to have them moved from Dublin Airport to Cork Airport and, in particular, Shannon Airport, which has a state-of-the-art security system far ahead of that in...

- Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)
Martin Conway: Following on from Deputy Hourigan's line of questioning on the male and female breakdown, I would like Bodywhys's views on its interaction with people with physical disabilities. Does it find that there is maybe more of a tendency towards eating disorders with people with physical disabilities who may not necessarily have been active in sport?
- Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)
Martin Conway: I was going to come then to the likes of autism and so on. Does Bodywhys find there is a higher level of presentations from people with autism?
- Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)
Martin Conway: How difficult is it to put programmes in place for people with autism who have eating disorders?
- Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)
Martin Conway: The one thing we are gleaning from our engagement with various addiction services and so on is that perhaps the support for families is not necessarily where it should be. As a result, it is good to hear Ms Hastings say that. If she were to point to somewhere internationally she believes has got it as right as possible, are there lessons we can glean from such a country, if there is such a...
- Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)
Martin Conway: I thank Bodywhys very much for the great work it does and I thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee. The engagement today will inform us in terms of the report we compile and the recommendations we present to the Government.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2022: Discussion (18 May 2022)
Martin Conway: Mr. Reid and his team are very welcome. It is important, as always, to reiterate our thanks for the work they have done over recent years, which continues because, clearly, the backlog has to be dealt with now, and that is important as well. I wish Ms O'Connor the very best of luck in her new role. I have no doubt but that she will bring her enthusiasm to it. I also wish Mr. Woods all the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2022: Discussion (18 May 2022)
Martin Conway: I wish to ask just one other question before Mr. Reid passes on to Mr. Woods. The staff, the nurses' unions and so on have looked for an independent review. What is Mr. Reid's view on that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2022: Discussion (18 May 2022)
Martin Conway: When does the HSE expect to see a positive result reflected in the trolley numbers?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2022: Discussion (18 May 2022)
Martin Conway: That is great. The witnesses might provide a progress note to the committee, perhaps in three or four weeks, as to how the impact is being addressed. Another issue is the HPV vaccine, specifically the catch-up programme. I understand that the Minister asked the National Immunisation Advisory Committee, NIAC, for a recommendation and that that recommendation has now been sent from NIAC to...
