Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Current Issues Relating to Health Services for Cancer: Discussion (22 Oct 2025)

Martin Conway: No, just before you go any further, it would seem to me from the information available to me that they are getting the same treatment in Nenagh that they were getting in UHL and that you were prepared to drive her to UHL. Now we are down to an issue as to whether the facility in Nenagh has been recognised by the Irish Cancer Society or not.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Current Issues Relating to Health Services for Cancer: Discussion (22 Oct 2025)

Martin Conway: My understanding is that Nenagh is prepared to be that so where is the blockage? For people looking in here today that is inexplicable. It would come across as unnecessary red tape for an 85-year-old woman who the system to be fair to it, and we criticise the system a lot, in this case is facilitating to have a better quality of life at her age and have her treatment nearer to her home....

Seanad: National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People 2025-2030: Statements (4 Nov 2025)

Martin Conway: I welcome the Minister of State to the House and thank the Minister, Deputy Foley, for her comprehensive open statement. I welcome the launch and publication of this five-year strategy. We have had strategies before but I genuinely believe that this strategy is comprehensive and meaningful.

People remember going to post letters as children and the green box and all of that. That has evolved. Sadly, there are not too many young people now posting Christmas cards,...
