Martin Conway: I concur with my colleague, Senator Byrne, in wishing the staff of the Houses of the Oireachtas and the entire parliamentary community in Leinster House a very enjoyable summer. Thankfully, it will be a normal summer or at least as normal as it can be despite the rise in the number of Covid cases. I ask the officials in the Department of Health to clarify details about the winter programme,...

Martin Conway: A couple of the questions I was going to ask have been asked already. I welcome the witnesses and I applaud them for their bravery. It is certainly a horrific situation. Like others, I am relatively new to the consequences of this but it is something that must be dealt with. I will recommend to this committee that we will send a short report to the Minister after this engagement with the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion (29 Jun 2022)

Martin Conway: It is a very quick question. We have engaged with the women this morning and we get the impression there seems to be pushback within the medical community towards women who are in horrendous situations exploring options and medical procedures abroad. Is there a certain reluctance or hesitancy among doctors with regard to thinking outside the box in supporting these women?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion (29 Jun 2022)

Martin Conway: It would seem a very logical approach to it if somebody of that calibre was prepared to relocate here for a period of time to perform surgeries. Again, this is something on which we can engage with the HSE. If we draw up a short report we could put this to the Minister. I have no doubt that I speak for everyone when I say that we as a committee would be very supportive of trying to get a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Martin Conway: I thank Professor Keegan and his colleagues for being here today. I know they are very busy people. The presentation was extremely interesting. One thing I identified from what Professor Keegan said is that this model is based on one he has seen in operation in the United States and, more recently, the UK. Can he talk us through how successful it has been, particularly in the UK, because...
