Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Statements (21 Oct 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: When we speak of cancers in this House, we hear that they come to nearly every home. It was breast cancer that came to our house. While my mam tried to stay very strong while she was dealing with it herself, I will probably never forget the kick in the stomach that many of us felt in the house, and also the huge sense of relief when five years had passed following her treatment.

Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Tusla, the Child and Family Agency - Financial Statements 2020 (21 Oct 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank Mr. Gloster and the other witnesses for joining us today.

Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Tusla, the Child and Family Agency - Financial Statements 2020 (21 Oct 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I acknowledge the support which Tusla has given locally and I acknowledge the family support centres are funded from a staffing perspective.

In...
