Residential Tenancies (Student Rents, Rights and Protection) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I commend my colleagues, Teachtaí Ó Broin and Funchion, on bringing forward this important legislation. Shortly before I was elected I was involved in a dispute with University College Dublin, UCD. It related to a car park and the introduction of car parking charges.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Health Services Data (29 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I listened to the Minister and the Deputy having a wee chat about the reform of the model of care, which I assume means a shift to the community, making my question very timely.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Health Services Data (29 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Perhaps he could get to the figures on, and explain where, all the nurses will come from to provide all this marvellous service in the community that we all want to see. Unfortunately, however, the decrease in staff numbers does not bode well for any great shift to the community.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Health Services Data (29 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Let us be honest that more of the same will not work because it is not working. The Minister is offering nurses a permanent contract in a health service that has become an unattractive place to work. I am sure the INMO members told him that at their conference - in fact, I am certain they told him that. I acknowledge the damage caused by the recruitment moratorium introduced by Fianna...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Health Services Data (29 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: When I said more of the same, the Minister read out statistics. I asked for them so I am not criticising him for that. They showed a rate of increase, and I am not brilliant at hard sums, such that by my reckoning it will probably take a decade or more to get back up to the level we were at before the crisis. That is before taking account of the fact that we are moving away from a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Cancer Screening Programmes: Discussion (23 May 2018)

Mr. Casey and I are colleagues and we made comment on outsourcing at the time. I will focus on what drove the decision to outsource. My memory is that it was a highly politicised decision.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Cancer Screening Programmes: Discussion (23 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I will be brief. I apologise that I must ask my question and then leave because I have an appointment. My interest is in the decision that was taken in 2008 on outsourcing the screening service. It is pretty clear that it was a political decision. The witnesses might be able to fill the committee in on the clinical involvement at the time. What is the witnesses' understanding on where...
