Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Disability Services with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Nov 2021)

Holly Cairns: I have a question for Ms Wehrly. She was speaking about what seems like not enough recognition of EDS in Ireland. She referenced the UK, obviously acknowledging there being pathways for diagnosis. I do not know whether she has the information to hand and a written response would be great. What is it like on a European or global scale? Is Ireland a total outlier in terms of not really...

Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (17 Nov 2021)

Holly Cairns: The Bill, although very short, will be a considerable source of relief to families, landowners and farmers who are concerned with the looming deadline of 30 November to register rights of way acquired by long use.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (17 Nov 2021)

In response to a parliamentary question, I learned that the non-spend of the €1.6 million allocated to eating disorder treatment in 2019 happened because HSE and departmental officials assigned it elsewhere. When we have these...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (17 Nov 2021)

National Ambulance Service: Motion [Private Members] (16 Nov 2021)

Holly Cairns: We are all aware of the instances in recent months of unacceptable waiting times for ambulances and paramedics being directed, sometimes hundreds of kilometres, to respond to an emergency. This is obviously deeply distressing for families and communities who should be assured of access to emergency services. These fears are even more acute in rural areas where waiting times can be much more...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Nov 2021)

Holly Cairns: I know I do not need to convince the Taoiseach of the gender balance problem in Irish politics.

If we are serious about increasing the number of women in Irish politics, we need to identify the barriers and remove...
