Seanad: Commencement Matters: National Dementia Strategy (21 Nov 2018)

Máire Devine: We have worked hard together as a group. Today we made a decision to focus on the estimated 4,000 people who develop dementia each year. That is at least 11 people per day. Those are not my estimates; they come from the HSE's Understand Together information campaign.

A poor whale was washed up in Indonesia with 6 kg of plastic - including 25 plastic cups, 115 plastic bags and flip-flops - inside it. I do not know if there was a human attached to the flip-flops. Our air, sea and land are exposed...

Máire Devine: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath. I wish to respond to a point made by Senator Colm Burke regarding the increase in the number of nursing staff managers by 1,000. That does not reflect an overall increase in the total number of staff. There are 2,700 nursing staff vacancies today. That was done to retain people by giving them a promotion but it is not an increase of...

Máire Devine: The main deficiency in our healthcare system is the absence of universal healthcare. I support Senator Boyhan raising this in the debate. Sinn Féin repeatedly raises the inherent inequality in our health system during these debates every year and each year the inherent inequality has been allowed to flourish. Rather than navigating a way out of reliance on a two-tier system, it...
