Our Lady's Hospital Navan Emergency Services: Motion [Private Members] (21 Jun 2022)

Pat Buckley: I listened to the response of both Ministers earlier. I commend my Meath colleagues on bringing this motion forward tonight. The downgrading of any services and centralising emergency departments only cause a funnel and it is like gridlock, which I heard some of the earlier speakers say. In May, the Minister visited Cork where the average waiting time at Cork University Hospital, CUH,...

Joint Committee On Health: Addiction Services: Discussion (14 Jun 2022)

Pat Buckley: I like to sit to back and listen, for a change. It is nice, because this conversation had to be had. By putting their own thoughts on record, the witnesses have made a difference. It is ironic we have two groups, one looking after the individual who is suffering and the other looking after the knock-on effects. I boxed off four issues. The witnesses are all in agreement that addiction...

Joint Committee On Health: Addiction Services: Discussion (14 Jun 2022)

Pat Buckley: I am conscious of time. Deputy Kenny mentioned that the perception is that decriminialising drugs would give drug dealers a free run, but it is not about that. The witnesses are right, and I have looked a lot at the Portuguese model. When you go over there, you will not be walking into a betting office, as it were. Other preventative measures are put in place to access what is actually...

Joint Committee On Health: Addiction Services: Discussion (14 Jun 2022)

Pat Buckley: If we were as good as we thought we were we would not be here; we would probably be after winning the lotto. We try to look into the future sometimes.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Special Educational Needs (30 Jun 2022)

Pat Buckley: I thank Deputy Stanton for raising this important question regarding new special schools in Midleton. I have listened to the Minister of State's replies. I welcome anything positive but, as Deputy Stanton said, Glanmire to Rochestown is a long way with traffic, the tunnel and the whole lot for families to travel. We have massive population growth in east Cork, predominantly on the Midleton...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Admissions (30 Jun 2022)

Pat Buckley: I thank Deputy Stanton for raising the very important issue of extra places in secondary schools. I welcome everything the Minister has said. The development of the campus in Carrigtwohill is very positive. She mentioned Youghal, Cobh and a couple of other areas. Doing some maths quickly, I see there are to be approximately 3,000 extra places. At least the Department has acknowledged...
