Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive (23 Jun 2021)

David Cullinane: I have one final question on the cyberattack before I move on to other areas. Mr. Reid spoke about a security operations centre. Does he envisage that it will up and running this year and is that cost built into the €100 million or will it be separate?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive (23 Jun 2021)

David Cullinane: That is to be welcomed as well. If this centre is up and running it will add another dimension to cybersecurity. We would all welcome that. Mr. Reid stated, in the context of the cyberattack, that health staff are experiencing enormous challenges at a time when our health system is experiencing very high demand. We heard from the INMO at the end of last weekend that overcrowding has...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive (23 Jun 2021)

David Cullinane: I thank Ms O'Connor. I accept Mr. Reid's point that health services staff have been through a very difficult time and have gone above and beyond the call of duty. It is unbelievable what those on the front line and elsewhere in the health service have done over the past while. It would be wise if the emergency department task force met as soon as is possible notwithstanding all of the...

Lifting of Covid-19 Restrictions: Motion [Private Members] (14 Jul 2021)

David Cullinane: I welcome the opportunity to discuss the public health restrictions. The motion has been tabled at a time when emergency legislation is being rammed through the Dáil today and will be rammed through the Seanad tomorrow. What we have seen in recent weeks is absolutely unacceptable. Two weeks ago, the people of Ireland were expecting a plan from the Taoiseach. The hospitality sector...

Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (14 Jul 2021)

David Cullinane: I will indeed. I was making a very quick point and I will move on. On the amendments, I commend the Minister of State on the approach she took on Committee Stage. It was very constructive and while some of these amendments are technical in nature, many of the amendments we are dealing with are ones that we discussed ourselves and they arose out of conversations and concerns some Members...

Health (Amendment) (No.2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (14 Jul 2021)

David Cullinane: I want hospitality opened. I want it opened safely, as quickly as possible and for everybody. There is something rotten at the core of the message we got from the Tánaiste's contribution. There is something very unfair about it given that over the past year, the Opposition in this State and in this House has been very supportive of public health measures. I would say to the...

Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Jul 2021)

David Cullinane: Like the previous speaker, I will be opposing the Bill. I suspect the Government has the numbers to get it through, however. If the Bill is to be passed, the two proposed amendments would be better than the Minister's proposal to have a sunset clause of 9 October which could then be extended further. I support the two amendments and I look forward to the proposers of these amendments...

Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Jul 2021)
