Establishment of a Statutory Commission of Investigation into a Foster Home in the South East: Statements (2 Feb 2016)

Clare Daly: There is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that the only reason this is the last act of Government is the botched arrogance of senior officialdom in the HSE in its apology-non-apology to the Committee of Public Accounts. This is not going to go away. The first point I would make is that what is in the public domain is only the tip of the iceberg on this issue. There are a number of aspects in...

Topical Issue Debate: Foster Care (2 Feb 2016)

Clare Daly: That is the key point. One of the whistleblowers at the centre of this case has made the point that, sadly, it is not the only such case. In his opinion, it represents dozens of others in the same region over a 20 to 30 year time span. It is fair to say there is a systemic problem in the HSE. It is very much the old attitude that when the church or State is threatened, the response is to...

Topical Issue Debate: Foster Care (2 Feb 2016)

Clare Daly: We do not have time to go into the range of issues surrounding this case but it is a fact that more than one vulnerable adult was left in a situation where they were appallingly abused and exploited because of the mishandling of the situation by the HSE.

Other Questions: Vaccination Programme (2 Feb 2016)

Clare Daly: The question was very carefully worded and asked what support the Minister would give to the young women who we all agree are undoubtedly unwell at the moment. The parents of some of them have had to give up work to care for them. They are just not coping and they want to know what support will be available to them. In some cases, individuals can access support but it is not always there....

[3892/16]

Other Questions: Vaccination Programme (2 Feb 2016)

Clare Daly: This question relates to the parents who organise a group called REGRET. Almost 200 teenage girls have experienced serious side effects having taken the‎ human papillomavirus HPV vaccine. Has the Minister met with that group recently to discuss what supports might be put in place? While we might debate their origin the problems these young women are experiencing are undoubtedly real...

Other Questions: Vaccination Programme (2 Feb 2016)

Clare Daly: It is important to say that these families are not anti-vaccine crusaders. They had their daughters vaccinated and now their daughters are severely unwell and as the Minister says, the side-effects are real. It is all very well to acknowledge the EMA review of the drug but it only examined it for two side-effects and did not take into account the full range of symptoms that some of the...
