Pre-European Council: Statements (21 Jun 2017)

Mick Wallace: 3 o’clock I am sharing time with Deputy Broughan. I regret that the new Taoiseach is following in the footsteps of the old Taoiseach by departing the scene before the smaller parties or Independents have their say.

Mick Wallace: I am sorry. What would he like to be called?

Pre-European Council: Statements (21 Jun 2017)

Mick Wallace: Former. I take back "old". It was not an ageist thing, trust me. I am nearly as old as him myself. Perhaps the new Taoiseach feels the esteemed leaders of the established parties talk more wisdom than us poor mortals. So be it. I understand that the European Council meeting is mostly about migration and defence, or refugees and war, whichever way one looks at it. It would be good if...

Mick Wallace: Come on.

Other Questions: Mental Health Services Provision (21 Jun 2017)

Mick Wallace: My question is on the pilot mental health peer support workers initiative. I have asked about it a number of times. I asked the head of mental health services in the Wexford and Waterford region about it and she failed to answer my question. A month later she said funding for the trial of the initiative simply went to Carlow, Kilkenny and south Tipperary and that it will eventually be...

Other Questions: Mental Health Services Provision (21 Jun 2017)

Mick Wallace: That is not true.

Other Questions: Mental Health Services Provision (21 Jun 2017)

Mick Wallace: For the record, the executive clinical director for CHO 5 explained to one of my staff in November that there was no point in talking to the mentally ill, as the HSE like to called people with mental health issues, and that it is not possible to trust what the mentally ill are saying. That people hold this position is pretty much at odds with the approach at the heart of the peer support...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2017)

Mick Wallace: I would probably be more comfortable with the State doing this. For all the concern I might have about this, I would have more concerns about the private sector because it obviously has an ulterior motive. The private sector makes money and it makes its decisions and does what it does in order to maximise earnings. That would be the driving force for the private sector if it were to get...
