- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2025)
David Cullinane: The cost-of-living crisis has not gone away; far from it. Workers and families are still finding it very difficult to make ends meet. People face extortionate bills and prices right across the board and for many, it is never-ending. It is runaway rents, childcare fees that equate to the cost of a second mortgage, the cost of the weekly shop and insurance costs, but perhaps where households...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: General Practitioner Services (6 Mar 2025)
David Cullinane: I echo the points made by my colleague. I visited with him a GP centre in Tallow, County Waterford. It has an application in for funding because the practice is too small and the space in the centre is not fit for purpose. We could see that ourselves when we visited. There is a need to progress funding for it. The same is true of the Cappoquin health centre. I got a phone call from the...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Children's Hospital (6 Mar 2025)
David Cullinane: If we do not have enough paediatric surgeon consultants, it creates problems. The Minister knows we have the ongoing Nayagam review and the review by HIQA into the use of springs. There was a media report this week of an audit that was commenced in April of last year conducted by an NHS consultant on the back of very serious allegations made by whistleblowers, including that operations on...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Children's Hospital (6 Mar 2025)
David Cullinane: 66. To ask the Minister for Health if she has ensured that plans are in place to safely and appropriately staff the new children’s hospital to ensure there are no delays following handover from the contractor and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10078/25]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Children's Hospital (6 Mar 2025)
David Cullinane: This question concerns the new national children's hospital and the preparedness of the State, the Government and CHI for what will be a decanting of staff from three hospitals into the new children's hospital. People want to be assured that the June deadline for completion will be met but also that the Minister and the Government are on top of the project, the contractor, the board and the...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Children's Hospital (6 Mar 2025)
David Cullinane: I very much hope it is a case of 15th time lucky regarding that commitment and we see it handed over in June. I have a letter from 12 surgeons who work in the department of paediatric surgery, which I raised previously with the Government. In it, they talk about how the national model of care for paediatric surgery clearly outlines the need for 17 paediatric surgeons by 2028. It goes on to...

David Cullinane: 64. To ask the Minister for Health when she will publish the review of specialist cardiac services; when she will publish a comprehensive cardiovascular health strategy; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10077/25]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Services (6 Mar 2025)
David Cullinane: Will the Minister outline when the national review of cardiac services conducted by Professor Nolan and his team will be published? I sat in a meeting in 2019, when Deputy Simon Harris was the Minister for Health, with Oireachtas Members from across the south-east and at that point, that review had been commissioned. Here we are, in 2025, and it still has not been published. It was sitting...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Services (6 Mar 2025)
David Cullinane: The problem is that I have been told that on at least three occasions. I know the report was with the previous Minister for Health for most of last year. Deputy Carroll MacNeill is a new Minister coming in but there is continuity in that this report has been sitting on the Department's desk. It is not going to be the new national cardiovascular strategy because that strategy has to look at...
