Home Help: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome the support from all parties. We had six speakers from Fianna Fáil. I am not certain as to whether they are going to support the motion. I believe that they are; they just have not said so. I hope they will. We in Sinn Féin, and every other Deputy in this House, deal with the issues caused by the lack of home help support weekly if not daily. We know about it. We...

CervicalCheck Tribunal Bill 2019: Second Stage (26 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome this Bill but I feel it is being rushed. I will be honest about that. I understand time is tight and the end of this Dáil term is coming but it does feel like this is being rushed somewhat.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Oral Health Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I apologise for being late - I was showing solidarity with workers on the picket line this morning and got caught in traffic - but I have had the opportunity to read over the submissions. I am unclear about the matter of the Irish Dental Association. Its representatives appeared before the committee and were very clear. Their considered view was that the association was not consulted,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Oral Health Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: The detail is fairly simple, it is just a copy of the original exercise that was undertaken in 2015. It does not seem outrageous to me that this be published. We have just been through the Scally inquiry, for instance, which was a scoping inquiry. Its terms of reference were very public. The scoping inquiry itself was very public as were its recommendations, which were first shared with...

I am not speaking for anyone else but I do not expect anyone will disagree with me. We are all wondering why the information that is there cannot be shared.

Louise O'Reilly: I have a number of specific questions. The first one concerns the existing number of clinics. I will put my cards on the table.

That is the perspective from which I am approaching this. ...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Oral Health Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: Given that the HSE is doing such a good job, would it not make more sense to expand what it is doing.? Nobody has a difficulty with the quality of dental care provided within the HSE, access to it is the issue. In my simple view, expanding what the HSE is doing would improve access to what Mr. Healy has said is a good service.
