- Older People: Motion [Private Members] (21 Nov 2018)
Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I thank my colleague, Deputy Butler, for bringing forward this timely, appropriate and important motion. Since the home care package was introduced by my party, Fianna Fáil, in 2006, there has been a significant rise in its uptake, and for good reason. Everyone, regardless of age, prefers to be at home, particularly when he or she is at his or her most vulnerable. It behoves us, as...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)
Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: Could the letters state that it is important the person attends his or her appointment? The letter could ask the person to refer back if he or she does not wish to attend on the date appointed. The wording currently used in the letters puts people under pressure. People are saying "Maybe I am not too bad, I will give someone else a chance." The wording could be better.
