- National Ambulance Service: Motion [Private Members] (28 Feb 2023)
David Cullinane: It takes a bit of a brass neck to deliver the speech that the Minister for Health delivered earlier today. It is so full of inaccuracies and mistruths, it is hard to know where to start. I will start with the first one, where he said that the Sinn Féin motion would have you believe that our NAS professionals are failing in their job. In fact, the very first line of our motion...

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (23 Feb 2023)
David Cullinane: Many homeowners are experiencing sharp and sudden hikes in interest rates. The vulture fund, Pepper, has warned borrowers it will hike interest rates again, with many now facing mortgage repayments which are as much as €3,500 higher than last year. It is now clear that the assurances made by Ministers that those whose mortgages were sold to vulture funds would be no worse off were...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Feb 2023)
David Cullinane: The Tánaiste said that the waiting times at Cork University Hospital and University Hospital Limerick are a cause for concern. They are not just a cause for concern, they are completely unacceptable. What is happening is shocking and scandalous. I put it to the Tánaiste that, in his constituency, people over the age of 75 who deserve better and who should be treated with respect...

I am sure the entire House will join with me in unreservedly condemning the attack on an off-duty police officer in Omagh last night. My thoughts are with the officer injured in the shooting and his family, who will be traumatised by this attack. It is...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Ambulance Services, Recruitment and Retention of Personnel, and Response Times: Discussion (22 Feb 2023)
David Cullinane: I welcome the witnesses. I tabled some parliamentary questions in advance of this session so I have a breakdown of response times by region and so on, which I will reference. Mr. Keeley said a few moments ago that the Dublin Fire Brigade's ambulance services are not hitting the standards that are required. That is quite a stark statement. I do not blame him or his staff, who are obviously...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Ambulance Services, Recruitment and Retention of Personnel, and Response Times: Discussion (22 Feb 2023)
David Cullinane: I want to get to the response times. In terms of the Delta calls, which were referenced, the figures for last year are quite stark. Mr. Keeley might be able to explain why this is the case. In December 2022, the percentage of status 1 Delta incidents responded to within the 19 minutes was 19%. Going back to 2019 it was 33%. Only 19% of those Delta incidents were responded to within the...
