Project Ireland 2040: Statements (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I will focus on the health aspects of the plan but it would be remiss of me not to mention metro north, or metro link as it is now known. I went to look for my old election posters when I heard the announcement because it is a sure sign that an election is coming; it is definitely not a sure sign that metro north, metro link or anything like it, will be coming. The people of north county...

Questions on Promised Legislation (21 Feb 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Public anger at the prospect of the sale of thousands of mortgages to a vulture fund continues to grow. The chance to regulate these funds was voted down by the Labour Party and Fine Gael in 2015. Sinn Féin legislation to regulate this issue remains on the Order Paper and we are prepared to work with those on all sides to advance it. However, the immediate concern is for the thousands...

Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I begin by thanking Aoife Hegarty and team from "RTÉ Investigates" for their essential piece of public service broadcasting last night. I commend the bravery of Alison McCormack who took part in the programme and shared her story.

Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Duty of candour is not underpinned statutorily. I fully appreciate that the protections are there. When the Taoiseach was the Minister for Health he described the failure to adhere to a duty of candour and to disclose the relevant information as being "the equivalent of a hit and run." I agree with the Taoiseach in this regard, which is rare enough. This is exactly what happened to this...

Louise O'Reilly: I feel strange calling Phil Ms Ní Sheaghdha. With regard to recruiting nurses from overseas, at what stage are they counted as part of the whole-time equivalent, WTE, figures? Ms Ní Sheaghdha mentioned the language barrier. Nobody is suggesting for a moment that these men and women are not very welcome and very necessary. We know that. From my own experience and from talking to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of National Maternity Strategy 2016-2026: Discussion (21 Feb 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Is it not part of the problem that you are not committing to a timeframe? I keep asking at what stage in the future we will be able to say to a pregnant woman that she will definitely have access to this. The answer is always "perhaps in a while" or "maybe in a bit" and "we are definitely committed to possibly doing something". I appreciate that Mr. McGrane has a tough job but if he does...
