- Current Issues Affecting the Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (13 Dec 2022)
Mary Butler: I thank Deputies across the House for their contributions to the debate.

I also wish to acknowledge the invaluable work carried out by our health and social care workers in providing health services to patients. As we are here talking...
- Confidence in Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Motion (13 Dec 2022)
Mary Butler: The construct of the no-confidence motion put forward by Solidarity-People Before Profit leads us here today. This is a motion that is disingenuous and wide of the mark. The fantasy it purports is of the removal from office of one of our most capable Ministers one year into a ten-year strategy, which has seen some 28,000 units built, which is a fact and is not fiction, and is the highest...

- Confidence in Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Motion (13 Dec 2022)

I am aware the Senator has raised this issue on many occasions. As a colleague of hers for many...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Rail Network (13 Dec 2022)
Mary Butler: The Senator has raised three valid points, including the fact that three reports were commissioned but only two were referred to. She mentioned Professor John Bradley's report, which I will certainly raise with the Department of Transport. She is correct in that it is an approximate date for the publishing of the draft report. The Minister expects to receive a draft report of the review...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Mental Health Services (13 Dec 2022)
Mary Butler: I thank the Senator for raising this matter. I am delighted to be in the Seanad to discuss the issue of CAMHS waiting lists in the Senator's community healthcare organisation, CHO, and nationally because it is something on which I have put a huge focus. The Government and I remain committed to the development of all aspects of mental health services. As the Senator will be aware, the...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Mental Health Services (13 Dec 2022)
Mary Butler: I reiterate that there will be three new CAMHS e-mental health pilot sites nationally. One has been identified for CHO 3 and the Limerick area. I have seen this model work well in the Roscommon area. It is one of the key recommendations of the Maskey report, which resulted from the situation that occurred in south Kerry. As the Senator will be aware, an audit and a review are under way...
