National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements (1 May 2018)

Jackie Cahill: The memo to the Minister stated, "The National Screening Service and Jerome Coffey, Head of the National Cancer Control Programme, have advised the Department in writing that they do not consider this to be a patient safety incident but rather a reflection of the known limitations of the current screening test." Will the Minister make that written information available to Members as it could...

Questions on Promised Legislation (2 May 2018)

Jackie Cahill: I wish to raise a matter in the context of the programme for Government and the Government's plans for the creation of employment in rural Ireland. Bord na Móna has ceased production at its Littleton plant in recent weeks. Does the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment have any plans for the 1,200 acre site in terms of providing some employment in the area?

Mental Health Parity Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (2 May 2018)

Jackie Cahill: I commend Deputy James Browne for bringing the Bill before the House. I also thank the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Jim Daly, for meeting me and Deputies Mattie McGrath and Seamus Healy earlier today. I will be very parochial in my comments because there is a crisis in health services in my county. In County Tipperary we have no psychiatric bed of any...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 May 2018)

Jackie Cahill: Like Deputy Rabbitte I will speak in favour of Deputy Troy's amendments. We will not be successful in getting the Minister to see common sense. None of us on this side of the House condones drink-driving and one life lost in an accident is one life too many. Proper policing of the existing laws is required. If a person is caught going 5 km/h over the speed limit, he or she does not see...

Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services Provision (8 May 2018)

Jackie Cahill: As Deputy Healy said, I was also at the public meeting in Clonmel on Thursday night, where the stories told by mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters were heart-rending, to say the least. They feel completely let down by the system. We have no psychiatric beds in our county. Even for people who do get access to a service, whether in Kilkenny or Ennis, it is completely inadequate to cater...

Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services Provision (8 May 2018)

Jackie Cahill: There is a song called "Any Tipperary Town". If the Minister of State stopped in any street in any town in Tipperary, from Borrisokane to Carrick-on-Suir, and asked about mental health facilities, he would be told by anyone he stopped on the street that there are none there. He said €24 million was spent on mental health services in Tipperary in 2017. I honestly find it hard to know...

Health Service Reform: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2018)

Jackie Cahill: If ever there were proof needed that our health service needed reform, it would be the fallout from the cervical screening crisis. If trust is to be restored, we need full disclosure from CervicalCheck, the HSE and the Minister. We need it quickly. One of the great barometers of the effectiveness of our service is emergency department overcrowding. INMO figures show a record number of...
