Máire Devine: Apologies. I hope that I will not repeat anything. I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their presentation. I also welcome the representatives of the member organisations in the Public Gallery. I will fly through my questions, and Dr. McDaid might ignore repeats. I have a difficulty with the oversight group for A Vision for Change. The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Mental Health Services' Funding and Performance Indicators: Discussion (4 Jul 2018)

Máire Devine: "Well-being" is an important description of what most of us need if we are to grow and nurture ourselves. Early intervention was mentioned. Mental ill-health must be a less significant part and we need to build on well-being. Well-being must be owned by and be the responsibility of the community. I apologise to the Chairman.

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2018)

Máire Devine: Senator Humphreys is correct that the Judiciary and the Courts Service is a pillar of our democracy. However, it is an elitist area of our democracy and I concur and thank Senator Ó Domhnaill for putting it succinctly this morning. The noise that is being caused about GRECO as an important report does not take away from the fact that the Bill is for the reform of the elitist Judiciary...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2018)

Máire Devine: I want to raise the disappointment with HIQA. HIQA has written 15 reports on the different centres for people with disabilities throughout the country. Unfortunately Cherry Orchard in my area of Dublin South-Central in Ballyfermot has been taken off the register of approved centres for people with disabilities. It is two separate houses in the Cherry Orchard campus and it has been taken...

Seanad: Civil Liability (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2018: Second Stage (4 Jul 2018)

Máire Devine: I welcome the Minister to the House. It is an apt time to take this Bill. I am delighted to open the Second Stage debate. This Bill is about being transparent in healthcare, being protected by law and not being protected by the idea of doing something voluntarily, which is unenforceable. We know that to be the case now. More than that, this Bill is about delivering for the men, women,...

Máire Devine: I welcome the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, to the House. I am delighted the Minister is going to the Government tomorrow about the Patient Safety (Licensing) Bill which he put on the agenda yesterday. Perhaps the Civil Liability (Amendment) Bill 2018 will give an impetus to the patient safety legislation. Before he left, the Minister rounded off a very decent and in-depth proposal...

Máire Devine: I welcome the safe location of the school children and their coach in a cave in Thailand. The drama is still unfolding and there are difficulties ahead but we wish them a full and successful recovery. I also wish to raise BusConnects.
