Kevin Humphreys: ...suffering from dementia and their families. For the past three years they have not been treated well. The Department's report of 2015 stated that the fair deal scheme was not fit for purpose and that fees payable to high-dependency patients in nursing homes, meaning the likes of St. Joseph's, were not viable. We are two years past the implementation of that report and nothing has...

Seán Sherlock: ...from a cultural and indigenous point of view when we know that there is such creativity on this island, and if we know that we are not realising the full potential of the television licence fee and that it has a bearing on public service broadcasting, I do not understand why we cannot be more radical and imaginative in moving with greater haste and urgency. I do not understand why...

State Ex Gratia Scheme: Statements (10 Jul 2019)

Willie Penrose: ...time ago, I read a brilliant article by Dr. Conor O'Mahony, a senior lecturer in child law at UCC. He was scathing in his view of the State and the fact that it had incurred more than €1.5 million in legal fees in order to avoid paying compensation to victims and through that action re-traumatised some of its most vulnerable citizens.
