Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (Resumed) (17 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: From some of the clinical advice this morning there is talk that the flu season may reach us in September or thereafter. We have very little time to prepare for that.

Even the slightest...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (Resumed) (17 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: When the HSE is coming back to me on that it might also look at the issue of pharmacists. I understand flu vaccination can be availed of in the local pharmacy, but that pharmacist is not able to administer the vaccine in a person's home, for example. That is additional capacity that could provide the greater than normal ability to deliver the flu vaccine and I urge the HSE to consider that....

Paul McAuliffe: Capacity issues were raised this morning as well. The chief one was the idea of the 500 consultant posts. There was also an alarming enough figure that of the 160 specialised registrars, SpRs, who are exiting rotation this year, only one of them has had an informal consultant post. Can the HSE explain what the delay has been in appointing people to those 500 consultant posts?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mortgage Lending (16 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I had the pleasure this week of attending the launch of the latest phase of affordable housing with the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Darragh O'Brien. It is great for any politician who attends such events to see the pleasure of any young families in being able to purchase their own homes. Unfortunately, however, many young families now have a level of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mortgage Lending (16 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister for his reply. I understand the regulatory framework, but when my constituents, Derek and Sandra, attended my clinic last week and told me about their mortgage application, it was very difficult as a Member to explain to them why we have such a large stake in the ownership of many of these banks and yet they feel they are being treated unfairly. I accept the statement...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mortgage Lending (16 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister and I accept his bona fides in this matter. As well as the responsibility that we have, and as someone who purchased a home in 2008, I know all about the issues relating to protecting those people who may not have long-term financial security. We also, however, have to ensure that we have a functioning housing market and that we continue to allow people who can to...
