Fidelma Healy Eames: Like others, I would like to be associated with the words of sympathy on the very tragic death of Garda Golden. By all accounts, he was a man with a big heart. He responded as a garda as he was expected to do, but sadly lost his life. I extend my sympathies to his family on their great loss. I commend Garda Golden on his service to our nation. I extend my sympathy to the families...

Fidelma Healy Eames: The Bill is not ideal, but I welcome it. It is good to see it going through the House. I would like to know whether it will be enacted during the Government's term. I understand in 2009 - Senator Bacik might be able to verify that-----

- Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Second Stage (14 Oct 2015)
Fidelma Healy Eames: I remember welcoming the Bill when I spoke on it on that occasion. That is eight years ago. This Bill is about our planet and environment. In 1999, I was in a place called Tromsø, located inside the Arctic Circle in the north of Norway. I remember climbing a glacier and those who had climbed it previously had put down markers at points where it had reached two years previously. By...
- Seanad: Marriage Bill 2015: Second Stage (20 Oct 2015)
Fidelma Healy Eames: I welcome the Minister and the fact this Marriage Bill is before us. Without doubt, this referendum provoked an awful lot of different feelings in Irish people, in myself and in many others. I was in Dublin Castle on the day the result was announced. I was a "No" voter and I felt truly saddened that so many people and citizens did not feel equal before the result of this referendum. I was...
- Seanad: Order of Business (21 Oct 2015)
Fidelma Healy Eames: On the Northern Ireland issue, cool heads are needed now and people will decide the fate of Sinn Féin. However, regardless of the outcome for Sinn Féin, the nation needs peace above everything else. The whole situation needs to be stabilised. I would support having a debate on Northern Ireland. Two other debates mentioned last week are very important. I have been out...
- Seanad: Order of Business (21 Oct 2015)
Fidelma Healy Eames: I know of a young woman in intense pain who has lost a stone in weight rapidly in the past month. She is vomiting and spent ten hours in the emergency department the night before last and was sent home at 8 a.m. She knows what her problem is. She went to a private hospital and got a diagnosis for the problem; she could afford €220. She cannot afford the €8,000 to...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Remit of Ombudsman for Children in School Complaints: Discussion (21 Oct 2015)
Fidelma Healy Eames: I welcome the Ombudsman for Children and his staff. I was touched by Deputy Jim Daly's presentation. My background is in primary and teacher education and I have always been intrigued by the fact that teachers are paid by the Department of Education and Skills but hired by boards of management. Until we change the legislative structure underpinning that, we will not solve any of the issues...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Remit of Ombudsman for Children in School Complaints: Discussion (21 Oct 2015)
Fidelma Healy Eames: My question is whether the Ombudsman for Children is in a position to support parents in that area. In a similar vein, we have heard of cases where children have been misdiagnosed by a teacher or psychologist attaching to a school as being autistic when, in fact, they may more accurately be described as suffering a syndrome that is not yet named. Does Dr. Muldoon have any role in supporting...
