Mental Health Services Reports: Motion [Private Members] (2 Jul 2019)

David Cullinane: I support the motion and the Sinn Féin amendment. It is always good to debate mental health services in this House. I want to focus on child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, in University Hospital Waterford, UHW, and the lack of facilities in that service. The south east lost a number of adult psychiatrists over the past number of years. One of them resigned his post...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Jul 2019)

David Cullinane: On the planned economic assessment of the Mercosur deal, the Minister, Deputy Bruton, was Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation in the past. He will know the south east is still an underperforming economy, although there has been some recovery. The Department will have carried out many economic assessments in that region given that it still does not have the same level of employment...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Jun 2019)

David Cullinane: Yes. It is welcome that there is a process in place to meet staff members on individual contracts. There seems to be some movement in that regard.

Even the response from Ms Forbes in which she states it is a complex matter is a massive step...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Jun 2019)

David Cullinane: The Commissioner states the matter has been referred to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission. It is not appropriate, therefore, for us to comment on it and he is correct that he is not in a position to do so either.
