- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: I thank Ms Darcy. In her opening statement, she talked about the inappropriate setting of endometriosis treatment being primarily conducted in maternity hospitals. From her perspective, what is the best framework and clinical setting in which to provide treatment?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: A national centre of excellence, essentially.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: That makes sense. In their opening statement, on solutions, the witnesses spoke about more endometriosis specialists. How many do we have in the State at the moment? When we are talking about more, what would that look like?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: If we had a centre of excellence, if we want to call it that, would that also be a centre that could look at issues like improving training for GPs, for example? One of the issues that the witnesses raise in their opening statement, which is a very strong statement but is obviously happening, is that sufferers are frequently dismissed by doctors and sent home with pain medication or oral...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: Our role today is to listen to our guests and their direct experience. If we can help to move some of the issues on, that is what we want to do. I imagine we could write to the ICGP as a committee, Chair, to ask what the organisation is doing in respect of awareness training and the role of GPs in this area. Equally, research was mentioned a number of times and there is a dearth of...

- Nursing Home Care: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: The people listening to this know that the Minister has absolutely failed this sector, not just last year but over successive Governments which created the crisis that we are in today. He needs to take his head out of the sand, deal with it today, deal with it quickly and deal with urgently. If he does not, more will close and he and the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, will have to deal...
- Nursing Home Care: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: The Minister's contribution was disingenuous in the first instance. It was disappointing to many providers who are listening, and not just those in the Public Gallery, but many who are depending on the Government to act and to deal with the very real crisis that many of them face. It was also unnecessarily hostile in places given the motion does not criticise the Government at all and was,...
- Nursing Home Care: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: Let us look at next year's budget to see what will be in it because there was absolutely nothing in the Minister's budget.

- Nursing Home Care: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: Read it.
- Nursing Home Care: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)

- Nursing Home Care: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: I move: That Dáil Éireann: notes that: - the majority of long-term residential nursing home care is delivered by the private and voluntary sectors; - since 2020, there have been 31 private and voluntary nursing home closures which have resulted in a loss of 915 beds; - increasingly, nursing homes are considering leaving the Fair Deal Scheme and contend it is not providing...
