Central Bank (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (14 Feb 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I join Deputies in commending my colleague, Deputy Doherty, on bringing forward this important Bill. Crime of any sort is a scourge but white-collar crime in particular is incredibly damaging and galling for a large number of reasons. The apathy shone by successive Governments and politicians towards tackling white-collar crime is somewhat breathtaking. A cursory look at the past ten years...

Questions on Promised Legislation (14 Feb 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I am sure that the Taoiseach is aware that we have the highest gambling losses in the world per head of population and the third highest for online gambling. I believe there is a hidden problem that we need to shine a light on. We have learned from our discussions on the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill that when we shine a light on an issue people feel able to come forward. The gambling...

Looking at the future, we have general practitioner, GP, practices that are full. In...

Roads Maintenance: Motion [Private Members] (13 Feb 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Deputy Brendan Ryan for sharing some time with me. This issue is of great concern for many of the people present. I welcome the Fianna Fáil motion but I am as puzzled as my colleague Deputy Munster over the manner in which that party rubber-stamped the budget on a Monday and then came in on a Tuesday and gave out about it. That is its own business and it will answer to the...

Third Interim Report from the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (13 Feb 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: While the announcement of a delay to the commission of investigation's report is disappointing, the reasons for the delay - the sheer amount of documentary evidence - cannot, and should not, be disputed. I would have preferred it if additional resources had been requested when the scale of the documentary evidence became apparent in order for the report to be published on time. I accept the...

Louise O'Reilly: 13. To ask the Minister for Health the reason the HSE has discontinued waiting list targets set in 2017; the number of persons who will be affected; the number of complex cases still waiting for surgery; if new more ambitious targets will be now set; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6365/18]

Other Questions: Hospital Waiting Lists (8 Feb 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: This question specifically relates to scoliosis but arises from contact that we have had from campaign groups to advise us that they are being told that the waiting lists have been discontinued. The targets which were set were not met so we do need to talk about that and it appears that the waiting lists have now been suspended, which is very worrying for people who had loved ones on those lists.

Other Questions: Hospital Waiting Lists (8 Feb 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: The Minister knows that the operating theatre only opens three days a week. Five days a week would be preferable or seven days a week if there was any sense of urgency about this issue. I have specifically raised the 68 medically complex cases with the Minister on a number of occasions, not for sport but because it is being raised with me. It would appear that the reality of people on...
