- Seanad: Commencement Matters: School Therapy Services (17 Oct 2018)
Jim Daly: I appreciate the opportunity to address to this issue. Anytime we focus on an issue such as this it is very welcome because it allows a very challenged HSE management and service to refocus and re-prioritise a particular service.

- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Medicinal Products Availability (17 Oct 2018)
