Other Questions: School Enrolments (1 Mar 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: I raised this matter with the Minister two weeks ago. The problem for these parents is very real. It is not good enough for the Minister to say that he or his officials believe that somehow the capacity exists, when it does not. These parents are ringing the schools every day and asking for places because they are absolutely desperate. We need to know what measures the Minister is going...

Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2017
Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (2 Mar 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: I note the section where it states a number of key high level metrics are not linked to the subhead or subhead groups under which the Estimates are presented. I found this extremely difficult to go through and wonder if there might be an easier way for this information to be understood. We got a briefing, which was welcome, but it was still a little like swimming through treacle. One...

Louise O'Reilly: With regard to palliative care, the Minister referenced the map and the blackspots on it, for want of a better word. It is a much bleaker map if we look at the palliative care available for children. Paediatric end-of-life care and palliative care is sorely lacking. I was in Donegal the week before last and I met Ms Ashling Nibbs and Ms Gina Grant from Our Children's Voice. Ashling very...
