Martin Conway: I thank Mr. Murphy for sharing his story. It is always great to hear lived experience because it makes a difference when we engage with and listen to people's lived experiences. I thank Mr. Murphy for that. I also thank Ms Perry for her presentation. The elimination of hepatitis C is an interesting and achievable aim. It is important and appropriate for us to acknowledge the work of a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Elimination of Hepatitis C: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: That point confused me. I know that HSE staff are part of the partnership but yet we are behind where we should be. That is what I am trying to understand. Where is the breakdown, if you like?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Elimination of Hepatitis C: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Elimination of Hepatitis C: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: We have certainly got a far better understanding of this issue this morning. I would like to hear the HSE's perspective on it at some stage. I suspect we will not have time to bring its officials before the committee and engage with them in the way we have engaged with the witnesses. Perhaps we could send them a transcript of the proceedings and ask them to respond. Clearly, they have a...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: I wholeheartedly agree with Senator Fitzpatrick on what she said about public representatives objecting to housing. I can never understand such objections because ultimately the planners are supposed to be the professionals who can adjudicate on whether something is appropriate. The days of public representatives making such submissions should be well and truly over given the crisis we are...

- Seanad: Neurology Nurses: Motion (22 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: I am sharing time with Senator Buttimer. We will take three minutes each. I thank my Independent colleagues for tabling this motion. I remind Senator Boyhan that I have, on a number of occasions, highlighted the lack of neurological nurses in the mid-west and nationally on the Order of Business and through Commencement matters. I very much support the Patients Deserve Better campaign. I...

Martin Conway: I welcome the fact that it has just been announced that the leaving certificate results will be available on Friday, 2 September. While it is late and there is no point in saying otherwise, at least the students now have a date. As the leaving certificate examinations draw to a conclusion, I wish all the young people involved a very enjoyable summer. They well deserve it and have it well...
- Joint Committee On Health: Addiction Services: Discussion (14 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: I thank our guests. I particularly welcome Ms Kelleher back. It is good to see her. I commend her on the work she is constantly doing in this area. One of the areas I was going to concentrate on was that of crime and intimidation and its effect on families but, thankfully, Deputy Ward did it for me. I also focus on the effects of this that families suffer. On a number of occasions I have...
- Joint Committee On Health: Addiction Services: Discussion (14 Jun 2022)
