Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2022: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Róisín Shortall: I thank the witnesses for all their ongoing work. I want to pay tribute to Ms O'Connor. I have known her for many years, both locally on the northside of Dublin and at a national level, and her service has been exemplary. She has provided outstanding leadership within the public health service and she will be a huge loss to it. I wish her well in her new career and thank her for all her...

Róisín Shortall: I am sorry to cut across Mr. Reid. Time is very short. I know those things are happening but the difficulty is in filling those teams. Will Mr. Reid go back to the problem of recruitment and retention?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Jun 2022)

Róisín Shortall: Yesterday, the Taoiseach spoke about the importance of honesty, but does he not need to be honest with the people about the climate action plan? Clearly, that plan is failing, and spectacularly so, it must be said. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, even if every planned measure in the plan was implemented in full, our emissions would only be reduced by 28%. The legally...

Róisín Shortall: No, we have been very clear about that.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Jun 2022)

Róisín Shortall: The Taoiseach cannot argue with the figures. The emissions are going up, not down, and they have increased by 6% in the past year. The strategy is not working. The Government needs to do an awful lot more. Just today, the EPA said a step up, both in the implementation of actions already set out in plans and policies and in the identification of new measures, is needed. What are those new...
