- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (7 Nov 2018)

- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Industrial Disputes (7 Nov 2018)
Jim Daly: I thank the Senator for the opportunity to address this matter. I confirm that the HSE received formal notification, dated 18 September 2018, from the general secretary of the PNA that its ambulance personnel members had voted in favour of taking industrial action. This action began on 10 October 2018. It is important to make it clear to the House that NASRA, which has affiliated with the...
- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Industrial Disputes (7 Nov 2018)

I can only repeat what is...

Reregistration with HIQA would be an issue if we were to extend the services there. In addition, some structural works would be required to make the building suitable for delivery of that service all year around. The HSE is committed to...
- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Nursing Homes Support Scheme (7 Nov 2018)
Jim Daly: I thank the Senator for raising this matter. I assure him that if I had to wait another 20 minutes for him I would have been quite happy to wait because I always appreciate any time somebody draws attention to this particular issue and gives me an opportunity to provide an update on it. I am in competition with many other Ministers who are trying to get their legislation through the House...
- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Nursing Homes Support Scheme (7 Nov 2018)
Jim Daly: The Deputy asks a pertinent and important question as to what a family should do today where a decision is being made in respect of an elderly relative or what a person should decide as to whether he or she should enter a nursing home himself or herself. Are they going to delay a decision because there has been commentary in the news about changes to the scheme such that it will not be as...
