John Dolan: Yet, it is my experience and I would say is the routine experience of other Members of the Oireachtas, that one public body, in the way that it does its work, trumps another body so there is a nil-all draw. One body will claim it cannot provide housing until another body says it will provide personal care supports but then it will claim the supports cannot be provided until there is housing...

- Seanad: Housing for Elderly People: Motion (30 Jan 2019)
John Dolan: I welcome the Minister of State as we start a new year. I welcome and commend this initiative led by Senator Reilly and his colleagues. Senator Reilly and Senator Colm Burke, in their own way, referred to three core issues, namely, home, place and relationships. If we cannot see these three elements coming out of plans, we might as well tear up the plans. The motion presents the idea of...

John Dolan: I bring the House's attention to a report that was the subject of a Private Members' motion in the Dáil last Thursday, entitled "Accessibility of Public Transport for People with Disabilities". It is a fine piece of work that took the committee some time last year under the Chairmanship of Deputy O'Dowd. The committee reported in November. The motion was unanimously agreed by the...

John Dolan: I thank the representatives from Down Syndrome Ireland and three trade unions, officials from the Department of Education and my colleagues for their serious engagement on this issue. It was not until just before 4.30 p.m. today that the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was first mentioned. We had gone through a full round of questions and were back on supplementary...
- Seanad: Period Poverty: Motion (27 Mar 2019)
John Dolan: I am sharing time with Senator Ruane, who has very graciously allowed me to kick off the first four minutes. I welcome the Minister of State and, in particular, Deputy Catherine Martin, who has given great leadership on this issue.

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Apr 2019)
John Dolan: This week is National Arthritis Week. Yesterday, I met councillors in Castlebar, County Mayo, and I also met a young woman originally from Mayo who has arthritis. As a child, she was told that she had growing pains. During her teens, her diagnosis was changed to juvenile arthritis. Her story is a microcosm of the national situation. She went to Dublin to complete her studies. She had a...

John Dolan: I am delighted that the six witnesses are before us. Their evidence challenges us in a number of ways. I look forward to reading the transcript. We may need to re-examine the issue. Much has been raised at this meeting that we cannot get into in this session alone - prevention, different service mixes, who provides what, impacts on lives, etc. I will leave that there, though. I will...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)
John Dolan: I welcome the Minister, the Minister of State and the officials. I wish Mr. Paul Reid all the best in his new role. If I was to suggest to my daughter that I take a certain initiative, she might reply, "Best of luck with that". I wish Mr. Reid the best of luck way more empathetically. He has a difficult chalice in his hands. I was struck by Mr. Woods' response on dieticians,...
