Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Developments in Mental Health Services: Discussion (29 May 2019)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I welcome the witnesses. It is great to see, yet again, a full panel of female witnesses, which is extra welcome.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Developments in Mental Health Services: Discussion (29 May 2019)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I had not thought of that stigma about serious mental illness.

It would be really good if we could get a date from the Minister for when all of that will kick off.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jun 2019)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: Many west Cork fishermen fish the waters off Rockall. In the Taoiseach's discussions with Nicola Sturgeon, did fishing in any aspect arise? What is the current position with the negotiations that are ongoing? This is more important than squid and haddock. What is at stake is how fishermen will be treated during the Brexit process.

National Development Plan: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2019)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I wish to speak about issues specifically pertaining to my constituency of Cork South-West.
