Action Plan for Jobs 2012: Statements (16 Feb 2012)

Thomas Pringle: Much has been made of this jobs initiative, which is probably the fourth announcement that has been made in the year since the Government came to power. The spin in the plan is remarkable, with much of it being stuff one would imagine the IDA, Enterprise Ireland, the county enterprise boards, local authorities and the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation should already be doing....

Care of the Elderly (15 Feb 2012)

Thomas Pringle: As we do not have the service plan for HSE west, we do not really know the impact bed closures will have in County Donegal.

Care of the Elderly (15 Feb 2012)

Maintaining home care packages at the same level as last year will in fact result in a reduction because of the rising...

If we do not support home help or home care packages and community nursing beds are reduced, elderly...

Stroke Services (14 Feb 2012)

Thomas Pringle: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate on stroke services. Every year, 10,000 people will suffer from strokes and 2,000 of these will die.

National Disability Strategy: Statements (9 Feb 2012)

Thomas Pringle: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the national disability strategy. I have no doubt that the Minister of State is fully committed to her role and I am aware of both her passion for her job and her commitment to help people with disabilities. She knows what needs to be done but I am just afraid that hers might be a lone voice in the context of trying to implement the...
