Seanad: Commencement Matters: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services Provision (27 Sep 2018)

Máire Devine: I welcome the Minister of State. This issue relates to the Cherry Orchard campus in Dublin 10.

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services Provision (27 Sep 2018)

Máire Devine: I also pay tribute to the staff working at the coalface. They have the solutions, as was clear in the case of the closure of the day programme at Linn Dara when they were ignored. Around 80% of A Vision for Change has not been implemented. This is especially glaring in the delivery of child and adolescent mental health services. We are spending €300,000 per week or €3.2...

Members will be balloted over the next three weeks with a further ballot about industrial action. That is always a serious...

Seanad: Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (Gender Pay Gap) Information Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (3 Oct 2018)

Máire Devine: I will speak now and my colleague can come back in later. I commend my colleagues in the Labour Party for bringing this Bill forward, which Sinn Féin is very happy to support. Equality of wealth is a key objective for gender parity and it is a relevant issue. We know that more equality benefits the economy. It benefits many families in terms of increases in women's take-home pay. In...
