Water Services Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (4 Oct 2017)

Pat Buckley: It seems like a very long time ago that Sinn Féin started to raise the alarm about water charges and water privatisation. We had always maintained vigilance against the creeping privatisation agenda of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael but we rightly saw in the economic chaos caused by the mismanagement of the economy and banking system what some would relish as an opportunity to asset...

Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (4 Oct 2017)

Pat Buckley: We will work it out. I welcome the thrust of the Bill. I wish to raise with the Minister some points on it, on some of which she will agree, on others she will not, and on others of which she will laugh. She will be looking forward to hearing those. There is a provision for the setting of reduced fees for birth certificates and death certificates. Surely an arrangement could be...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2017)

Pat Buckley: The Minister of State really let himself down in his desire to get upset and make this debate about him.

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2017)

Pat Buckley: He was upset. Let us focus on the people that are really suffering not the pampered Ministers who have their feelings hurt because the Government has failed so badly. To be honest, to call it failure is probably kind, particularly in light of the malicious undermining of social housing his party engaged in along with the Labour Party when the previous Government was in office. The...

Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services Provision (27 Sep 2017)

Pat Buckley: I thank the Minister of State for his response. In the very first paragraph it stated: "The HSE is committed to ensuring that all aspects of mental health services are delivered in a consistent and timely fashion." One of the two key points I raised with An Taoiseach yesterday, which are in the report, is that there was more focus on achieving savings than providing safe and effective...

Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services Provision (27 Sep 2017)

Pat Buckley: We are here specifically to discuss the report on Roscommon. The big question here apart from the need to address specifically the localised issues in this report is to determine just how localised they are. Is Roscommon an exception or the rule, especially when it comes to funding? Some €18 million was returned from mental health funding from 2012 to 2014. We have heard a lot from...

Flooding in County Donegal: Motion [Private Members] (26 Sep 2017)

Pat Buckley: I welcome this motion and the chance for Deputies to raise in the Dáil the issues of flooding, insurance and flood defences. My party colleagues have said a great deal. It is not the first time this country has dealt with flooding. I stand in solidarity with the people of Donegal in terms of what happened but if we cast our mind back to my constituency in east Cork in 2015, it was...

Order of Business (26 Sep 2017)

Pat Buckley: The review of Roscommon mental health services published in July last made several stark findings. The key points include that there was a greater focus on achieving savings than providing safe and effective services, allegations of conspiracy were made and between 2012 and 2014, more than €17 million was handed back. The report found evidence of destructive conflict and extremely...
