Louise O'Reilly: I was not suggesting there was anything untoward happening.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Waiting Lists (20 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I was pointing out that the Minister has never appeared for the Topical Issue debate in my experience.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Waiting Lists (20 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister of State for the reply. Notwithstanding the aggressive management of waiting lists that has been reported and the absolute promise and commitment given by the Minister that no child would have to wait longer than four months, the best the Minister of State can do is report a slowdown in the rate of increase. That is not good enough. These are sick children who are in...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Waiting Lists (20 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I do not mean to be disrespectful to the Minister of State but does the Minister, Deputy Harris, ever take a Topical Issue matter? I have been here as long as some Members but my understanding is that it is customary for the Minister to take Topical Issue matters where possible. My colleague, Deputy Quinlivan, has raised 13 Topical Issues regarding Limerick hospital and I have raised...

Climate Action Plan to Tackle Climate Breakdown: Statements (20 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Teachta Stanley for sharing his time with me. I have only a few minutes to speak about the climate action plan. Deputy Stanley has correctly called the plan out as a greenwash. It is very clear that the plan lacks ambition and will not in any way address the substantive issues of pollution, over-consumption and corporate responsibility. It completely lacks ambition when it comes...

Written Answers — Department of Health: Sexually Transmitted Infections (20 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: 146. To ask the Minister for Health if a distribution breakdown of the recent announcement of an extra €450,000 allocated to fund sexual health services will be provided; the extra services this will fund; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25929/19]

Supplementary Report of the Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Statements (19 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: The Minister has just said that the non-co-operation that happened is not acceptable. He was very definitive in saying that it is not acceptable to him or to the Government. We know that a lot of people did not co-operate and we know that some of those people are in the Department, some are in the HSE and some are in CervicalCheck. What was done about those people? If the same people are...

Supplementary Report of the Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Statements (19 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I appreciate the Minister cannot answer for everything that has gone wrong here and I do not expect him to do so but can he give me a view on why the emphasis on quality was reduced as part of the tendering process from 2010 to 2012? The Minister can see on pages 34 to 36 of the Scally report that there was a consistent reduction in the emphasis on quality and an increase in the emphasis on...

Supplementary Report of the Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Statements (19 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: The Minister has anticipated one of my questions. What exactly is he doing to ensure the slides and the testing will be repatriated? It is one thing to want it. That is fine and maybe we all want that but people want to see what concrete steps are being taken. I have said before that the decision to outsource was a political decision, not a clinical one. The decision on how to proceed...

Supplementary Report of the Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Statements (19 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: There was in 2008.

Supplementary Report of the Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Statements (19 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: If we are not training the people to carry out the tests we will not be. If the Minister is not talking to the universities then this definitely will not happen in three years. On the laboratory-by-laboratory result, this is something I asked about on the first day I raised this matter here. It is a laboratory-by-laboratory result to check for things such as cluster errors. I am not a...

Supplementary Report of the Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Statements (19 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: That will be welcome. Can the Minister give a commitment that, for the future and for as long as we are outsourcing to laboratories abroad, on which my views are well known and I do not need to rehearse those, slides will not be read in a laboratory where people have not been physically present to investigate and to carry out that quality assurance? Clearly, quality assurance by phone or by...

Supplementary Report of the Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Statements (19 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I will start by thanking Dr. Scally and his team for the work they undertook. The reports are comprehensive pieces of work and we know they were delivered under very difficult circumstances. There was much shock expressed on the benches here and in the media at the fact that information had to be wrestled from the Department in certain instances, which is not good enough. We know,...

National Maternity Services: Motion [Private Members] (19 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 1:To delete all words after “Dáil Éireann:” and substitute the following: “recognises: — the need for Ireland’s maternity services to be as safe as possible for women and babies, including the need for women to be listened to and respected; — the hard work, skill and dedication of all staff across Ireland who provide...

National Maternity Services: Motion [Private Members] (19 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: The facility has not been built. As I said in referring to the tit for tat, the women watching this debate will not thank us for that. No one will disagree when I say I have raised the maternity services issue consistently in this Chamber since I was elected. In 2017 this House passed a Sinn Féin motion on maternity services which called for solutions to pressing matters affecting the...
