Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (12 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: It was promised for 8 a.m. to midnight. The issue was not around building or the cost of building but around the staffing. That is a fact. It does not matter what grade, group or category of worker it is, there will not be enough workers to open it from 8 a.m. to midnight. That will be very disappointing news for people in Fingal who were promised they would have it. To put that to one...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (12 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I am from that area. I was born in St. James's Hospital. All of my family live around there and there are plenty of teachers in my family, so I am well aware of what is happening with that. If the supply and demand and workforce planning model used to staff the hospital is the same as that used to staff the urgent care centre, the witnesses will forgive me for being a little sceptical,...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jun 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: Sinn Féin supports the call for a special debate on the allocation of home help hours because the response given by the Taoiseach to Deputy McDonald indicates that there is not a full understanding on the Government side of the implications or the difference between the money allocated and hours delivered. Many Deputies have discussed this issue with me and I presume they have also...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 May 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I asked fairly specific questions, one of which relates to the Judicial Council Bill 2017 and the amendments to it. We have heard repeated requests for co-operation from Opposition parties but it is difficult for us to co-operate if the amendments have not even been published. I also requested that the Government give consideration to the establishment of a Garda insurance fraud unit....

We heard here last month from Linda Murray from Navan who broke...

Development of Primary Care: Statements (29 May 2019)

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (29 May 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I am sure the Taoiseach will not thank us for raising the issue of insurance costs although I am not raising it in the context of what everyone else is discussing in that regard. I am prompted by a constituent who contacted me to advise that Fingal Adventure Centre will not open at North Beach, Rush. It is saying it is because of the astronomical quotations it has received. We have no...
