- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Sláintecare Reforms (27 Sep 2023)
Róisín Shortall: I will move on to the issue of the arrangements with the private hospitals. We have heard there are 160 beds currently involved in that arrangement. I was surprised because I did not realise there was that level of agreement for the provision of beds.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Sláintecare Reforms (27 Sep 2023)
Róisín Shortall: There is a principle to which the health service operates that I cannot understand. It is outsourcing and buying private capacity, whether with beds, staff or services generally.

- Reversal of Planned Fuel Price Increases: Motion [Private Members] (26 Sep 2023)
Róisín Shortall: I welcome the debate on the motion before us tonight. It provides us with a timely opportunity ahead of next month's budget to discuss the measures needed to tackle the cost-of-living crisis. I am very concerned by the signals coming from Government, particularly from the Fine Gael elements of the Government, that more tax cuts are on the way. At a time when we should be investing heavily...
