It had initially said that 20 to 22 week scans are routinely provided to patients in certain hospitals, but...

Brexit and Special Designation for the North: Motion [Private Members] (15 Feb 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: The Sinn Féin motion is very clear on the need for the Government to defend our national interest and to negotiate for the North to be designated with a special status within the EU. We make the case that we need a whole-of-Ireland approach, not least because of the catastrophic effect that Brexit will have for the Border regions and the island more generally, but because it is not a...

Topical Issue Debate: School Admissions (15 Feb 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: There are 100 children on a waiting list at the moment. The person I spoke to is No. 24 on that list. Is the Minister suggesting that the capacity exists in a school in Swords to absorb 100 additional pupils? I do not think he is suggesting this and I do not think the school has this capacity. I put it to him that we have a particular problem in north County Dublin that extends beyond...

Topical Issue Debate: School Admissions (15 Feb 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: They prohibit canvassing. Canvassing is not appropriate because if there are not enough places, it is an issue about capacity rather than anything else. What am I to say to these parents? They cannot send their children to preschool and have been told they do not have a place. The capacity identified in the one school will not be enough. Does the Minister have an idea of how many people...

Clarification of Statements made by the Taoiseach and Ministers: Statements (Resumed) (14 Feb 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: The Taoiseach's statement earlier that he told the truth in the House is very welcome, but it beggars belief that he felt the need to say it nonetheless.
