Developments in the Eurozone: Statements (Resumed) (2 Nov 2011)

Séamus Healy: I heard a Government Deputy suggest the Government has a mandate for the approach it is taking.

Social Welfare Code: Motion (2 Nov 2011)

Séamus Healy: I agree with Deputy Healy-Rae. I am delighted to have the opportunity to say a few words on this issue.

It is rightly believed that there should be a board to disburse these funds and to ensure they remain at arm's length from the political process and Minister of the day, be that as...

Mental Health Services: Motion (15 Nov 2011)

Séamus Healy: Mental health services continue to be the Cinderella of the health system. As other Members pointed out, the amount of overall health funding given over to mental health services has reduced considerably from 13% several years ago to 5% in 2010. A Vision for Change recommended the figure should stand at 8.4%. Mental health services have lost significant numbers of staff owing to early...

Mental Health Services: Motion (15 Nov 2011)

Séamus Healy: In line with A Vision for Change, such acute services must be provided locally. Service users in south Tipperary have been seeking a meeting with the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, for some time. Will she inform us when it will take place?
