Cannabis for Medicinal Use (Regulations) Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (1 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: The Chair has asked us to make our speeches short in order to facilitate all Members but I wish to take the time to congratulate Deputy Gino Kenny on producing the Bill and I thank the AAA-PBP for the unusually dogged determination that has succeeded in getting this Bill into the House, a success I think that was guaranteed because of people power and people being willing to expose their own...

Clare Daly: I will start by adding our voices to the condolences expressed by the Minister of State on the untimely death of the Inspector of Prisons, Judge Michael Reilly.

Other Questions: Maternity Services (1 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: It is a good strategy but it is a long way from being implemented. It was followed by a report on midwifery numbers which suggested that to implement the measures in the strategy, a midwife to birth ratio of 1:29.5. would have to be achieved, which would require the recruitment of an additional 450 midwives and not just the 100 who have been recruited. While I welcome their recruitment at a...

Other Questions: Maternity Services (1 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: The Minister said the strategy only came in in January but, 11 months on, 13 maternity hospitals do not have access to ultrasound scans and they have been unable to recruit programme directors and so on.

It is shocking that the Department has not come before the committee to inform...
