Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Sep 2018)

Mattie McGrath: I better not call the Minister "Taoiseach" whatever I do.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Sep 2018)

Mattie McGrath: The Government keeps making the same mistakes. It tried to bring home and recruit 500 nurses. It successfully recruited 90 and 40 left after a year.

I salute the many who do. I walked into a GP's office in Clonmel...

Mattie McGrath: I, too, am pleased to speak on the Mental Health (Renewal Orders) Bill 2018. It is a pity that it took a court case nearly six months ago to bring us to this point. The purpose of the Bill is to provide a lawful basis for the reception, detention and treatment of persons who are detained involuntarily on the renewal orders under section 15(3) of the Mental Health Act 2001. This Bill seeks...
