Topical Issue Debate: Hospice Services Provision (21 Mar 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Last week the Government managed to set another record: 714 citizens were left on trolleys. I did not think that, even under the stewardship of this Government, it would get that bad. I believed that, as someone who has a fair amount of experience of the health service, I was unshockable but the Government has managed to shock even me. Last Monday, the general secretary of the Irish Nurses...

Topical Issue Debate: Hospice Services Provision (21 Mar 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I left my crystal ball at home but I did not need it because I could have predicted that the Minister of State would blame the storm, make a nod towards the staff, the patients and the disease profile. There is a real lack of accountability and sense of responsibility for this problem. The Minister of State does not have to take my word for it. The INMO publishes the figures. After seven...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Evaluation of the Use of Prescription Drugs: Discussion (21 Mar 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses for their attendance at the committee this morning and for the information they provided. Reference was made about access to supports and therapies and that perhaps there is an increase in drugs being prescribed due to the lack of the therapies. Would this be true of drugs for pain management? In the absence of access to proper physiotherapy, are GPs finding...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Evaluation of the Use of Prescription Drugs: Discussion (21 Mar 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Would the introduction of near-patient testing help with that? I have no expertise in this area, but I have spoken to people who say individuals do not like to leave the surgery without a prescription. Their thinking is that as they have paid their money, they want to get something for it. In the event that general practice had access to near-patient testing, would that enable the doctor...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Evaluation of the Use of Prescription Drugs: Discussion (21 Mar 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I have just one question. Social Justice Ireland published a report recently. There were a number of elements to it, but Social Justice Ireland identified a particular category, a regrettably growing number of people whom one could loosely call the working poor. These are people who would not necessarily qualify for medical cards but who have no immunity from illness either so will have...

Louise O'Reilly: I am delighted to finally get an opportunity to speak on the Thirty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2018. This is incredibly important legislation that will finally give a whole generation of people the opportunity to have their say on the eighth amendment and Ireland's effective constitutional ban on abortion. The repeal of the eighth amendment is necessary in order to ensure...

Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I listened with interest to the Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform and his characterisation of my party as being somehow opposed to good news. Of course, the truth is that if there was any good news on housing, health or even some of the infrastructure projects, we would welcome it, as we have done. We have been consistently constructive in our approach. However, we...
