Gambling Control Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 May 2018)

We need effective regulation for this industry to give those who work in the sector certainty through socially responsible gambling.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee this morning. I have many questions on Sláintecare, etc., but given that Mr. O'Brien has to go soon, I will ask about the ongoing saga. I was very interested in hearing about the sign he placed on his wall the day after he took up his new position. I think he will have to agree that the sign did not work. I find it hard to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: The first few are for the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath. I know we have spoken about waiting times for the assessment of need many times before but I am very concerned, particularly given the importance of early intervention. In west Cork, people are currently waiting 23 months instead of the six months promised under the Disability Act 2005. I would like to hear the Minister of...

Topical Issue Debate: Water Pollution (8 May 2018)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I thank the Minister of State for the information on Irish Water. I am glad he admitted that there are inadequate services in parts of west Cork. I am also glad they are part of the plan for the future. The Minister of State said that other Governments could be to blame as well, but we are where we are, as the saying goes. I am one for looking forward rather than looking back. I realise...

Topical Issue Debate: Water Pollution (8 May 2018)

Mental Health Parity Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (2 May 2018)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I am delighted with and very proud of my party colleague, Deputy James Browne, for introducing this Bill. Time and again persons with mental health difficulties are sidelined and made to feel that their plight comes secondary to those with physical health issues. It is both sad and embarrassing to have to admit that the real gravity of the mental health situation in Ireland is unknown...

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I welcome the witnesses this morning and thank them for giving up their time to come to speak to us.
