Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 40 - Department of Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (7 Mar 2018)

Seán Sherlock: That is the key one I wanted to zone in on. With regard to the nine nursing staff, the Minister may be aware of Barnardos' "Lost" campaign, which is quite an impactful campaign. One of its asks arising from that is that there would be a dedicated child and family public health system with guaranteed home visits. I know that technically this is not the Minister's area but I ask for some...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 40 - Department of Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (7 Mar 2018)

Seán Sherlock: Yes, because we all know the value of public health nurses, we know exactly what they do and we know they are extremely good at picking up signs within a family home.

Seán Sherlock: I am speaking on behalf of a three year old boy from Killeagh in County Cork, Adam King. He has been waiting for a wheelchair since last July. I have been asking the Minister for Health about this for several months when Adam can expect to receive his wheelchair.

Topical Issue Debate: Medical Products (8 Mar 2018)

Seán Sherlock: I welcome the Minister's reply. To be fair to him, he has empathised with the case. I welcome his comments in regard to the Department having identified the need for an improvement programme in areas in which there is an allocation of sources. The bottom line is that this three year old child's social development is being affected because his immobility is being limited and he cannot join...

Credit Union Sector Report: Motion (8 Mar 2018)

Seán Sherlock: This is a timely and important review of the credit union sector, a sector which has served the people of Ireland well and which continues to deliver excellent services in an ethical manner in communities from which the banking sector, one could argue, is existing. Credit union directors, managers and staff have willingly adopted seismic changes in the four short years since the enactment of...

Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)

Seán Sherlock: We are supporting this motion. By virtue of the fact we are supporting the Sinn Féin motion, and it would appear Fianna Fáil is also supporting it, one senses there is a trend towards the motion being successful.
