Action Plan for Jobs 2012: Statements (16 Feb 2012)

Catherine Murphy: I propose to share time with Deputies Luke 'Ming' Flanagan, Maureen O'Sullivan and Pringle. Aspects of the jobs plan are welcome and I hope the target of 100,000 jobs will be exceeded, even though it is a round figure and was picked out of the air. The net increase in the number of jobs is a key issue. I welcome a number of measures and have criticisms of a number of others. There are...

Private Members' Business. Stroke Services: Statements (Resumed) (15 Feb 2012)

Catherine Murphy: While this motion considers the health care issues associated with stroke, there are of course wider issues, some of which have been addressed during the debate.

Hospital Staff (15 Feb 2012)

Catherine Murphy: The HSE service plan states that continuing the current number of temporary agency staff would result in an additional cost of €30 million, which is substantial. How will this happen? It is not that we would wish that there would be a level of service in each individual hospital but that we would make it happen. Essentially I do not see how that can be done without setting a floor below...

Hospital Staff (15 Feb 2012)

Catherine Murphy: I have listened to many of the Minister's replies recently. He has referred to dealing with this at an individual hospital level. However, the problem must be dealt with across the spectrum. I fully agree with Minister about a mismatch in services.
