Dúirt sí go bhfuil a lán daltaí in ann an Ghaelainn a fhoghlaim. Aontaím le Donald Ewing mar gheall ar dhaltaí nach bhfuil diagnóis acu. Tá aithne agam ar...

Finance Bill 2022: Second Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Hopefully, the savings will be passed on, most crucially, to workers and to the guests staying there. In terms of transport,...

As the Minister of State knows, the Maskey report found that significant harm was caused to 46 children in south Kerry and that a...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (26 Oct 2022)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister of State for her reply. The only problem is that some of these families have been waiting 15 years since the misdiagnoses and the overprescribing of antipsychotic medication to their children. They are suffering internally in their family units and their children are still suffering as a result of what happened. The random sample, I believe, will lead only to a...

Pa Daly: There seems to be consensus across the board about the OPCAT ratification and the need for more independence of the inspectorate, when it is established, and having it under the remit of the Minister for Justice and all the budgets. Can the officials comment on the great concerns about all that? Does Mr. Kelly think there should be a role for inspecting Garda stations? A similar body in...
