Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Future Expansion of the Technological Universities: Discussion (23 Feb 2021)

David Cullinane: I am unsure if the Minister is following the south east around or if the south east is following the Minister around, but every time there is a big issue in the south east the Minister happens to be in the hot seat. Ironically, I have to point out, this university will most likely happen before the second catheterization laboratory is in place. Be that as it may, I welcome some of the...

I want to understand where we go from here and what the HSE needs to do, which is the most important part of this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Vitamin D and Covid-19: Covit-D Consortium (23 Feb 2021)

David Cullinane: I am conscious that people are very frustrated at the moment about the fact we are still in this situation almost a year on from the onset of Covid. Obviously, it is a difficult time for everybody. When claims are made that we can reduce mortality – I am not saying those claims are wrong - they have to be peer reviewed and evidence-based. Dr .McCartney said there is also an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Vitamin D and Covid-19: Covit-D Consortium (23 Feb 2021)

David Cullinane: For the purposes of clarity, I am assuming he would argue that it would supplement all of the other measures. It is not a substitute for all of the other public health measures, such as the vaccine roll-out and so on. This would be an additional measure. When people are at the end of their tether and in a difficult space, we want every and any option to be on the table. I certainly would....

Health (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (24 Feb 2021)

David Cullinane: This Bill has been a long time coming. It is nine months since NPHET recommended that discretionary elements of travel should end. It is disappointing the solutions in respect of checks and controls at airports are still not in place today when we are debating a Bill which still does not solve the problem. It is still a case of half measures. The Bill will not deal with the real threat of...
