- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Mental Health Services: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Mar 2018)
Gabrielle McFadden: I have one more quick question. They are very high salaries, yet we cannot get people to take the jobs. For what are they looking? For what salaries are psychiatrists looking to come back to work here? The delegates referred to the high cost of living and so forth. That also applies to nurses, psychologists and so forth who have to live here too. I want to know what psychiatrists want...

- Seanad: Order of Business (8 Mar 2018)
Gabrielle McFadden: On International Women's Day we were asked to think of the women who have inspired us. In my case it was my wonderful and beautiful sister, Nicky, who died four years ago this month.
- Seanad: Order of Business (8 Mar 2018)
Gabrielle McFadden: She was one of the kindest and most compassionate people I have ever had the privilege to know yet she was also one of the toughest and most determined women I have ever met. Her toughness and determination helped her win a general election in 2011, for which she had fought for a very long time. Unfortunately, she did not have enough time to enjoy it. It also allowed her to fight a most...
- Seanad: Order of Business (8 Mar 2018)
Gabrielle McFadden: She fought it with great bravery and great dignity. We need more people like Nicky McFadden in politics and in business.
- Seanad: Order of Business (8 Mar 2018)
Gabrielle McFadden: Given that yesterday was Research Day, I ask the Leader to call on the Minister for Health to look at budgets for research. Motor neurone disease is an unknown quantity. Nobody knows what causes it or anything about it. There is no cure for it. A lot of research is being done in Trinity College and Beaumont Hospital with Professor Orla Hardiman but as with everything of that nature money...

- Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2018)
Gabrielle McFadden: I concur with the sentiments expressed earlier by Senator Craughwell. What happened at the weekend falls far below the standard expected of anybody in elected office. In recent years Mr. Austin Stack has been engaged in a long-running battle to find out what happened to his father. As everybody knows, Deputy Adams facilitated a meeting in 2013, and he was taken to that meeting in a...
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Mar 2018)
Gabrielle McFadden: I have just come back from Baldonnel Aerodrome and want to refer to the Air Corps. Everybody knows that its primary focus is on looking after the security of the State. However, many do not realise it has other secondary jobs such as providing the air ambulance service which based in my home town of Athlone, supporting the Garda and dealing with hazardous chemicals. There are 870 members...
- Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (28 Mar 2018)
Gabrielle McFadden: I wish to raise the issue of funding for research. In an article in The Irish Timesduring the week Professor Orla Hardiman spoke about her research on motor neurone disease. It is not a good diagnosis to be told that one has motor neurone disease and the prognosis is always bad. They call it a 1,000 day illness, so most people will live for up to 1,000 days but one never knows when one...
- Seanad: Councillors' Conditions: Statements (29 Mar 2018)
Gabrielle McFadden: I welcome the Minister of State to the House again. Before I start giving out, I acknowledge the work he has done for councillors' pay and conditions. It is great to see him here but I cannot help but feel that we should not be having this debate again.
- Seanad: Councillors' Conditions: Statements (29 Mar 2018)
Gabrielle McFadden: One councillor said to me recently that never has so much been said about so little money. In the 21 months since this Seanad convened, this is the third time we have discussed this matter, not to mention the times I and other Senators in the House have raised it on the Order of Business or at our own parliamentary party meetings. Most of us have been councillors, including the Minister of...
- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Apr 2018)
Gabrielle McFadden: Before I raise my issue I want to support Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell on the issue of the orchestras. I agree with her that this is not about politics; it is about our culture. I raise the issue of the announcement by Irish Water that it plans to submit a planning application for a new pipeline connecting water from the River Shannon to Dublin. The water will be taken from Parteen,...
