Financial Resolutions 2017 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (12 Oct 2016)

I was interested to know how a pretend disagreement was manufactured when clearly these two right-wing parties agree on so much. What emerged was a mini-series that could have been scripted by the men and women who wrote "Dallas", complete with a comical script. The health...

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Dr. Figueras for a very interesting presentation. I understand there is a view that our doctors are among the highest paid. As our Government keeps getting fined by the European Union for breaches of the European Time Working Directive, I am sure we can all agree that they are among the hardest working. I am not sure I would agree that they are among the highest paid but that is...

Mental Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (5 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome the families and advocacy groups in the Gallery this evening. I remind the Minister of State that those people are watching us to see if we are serious about the issue of mental health. They are marking our cards and rightly so. I do not know what we will get for effort but the outcomes so far are very poor. I acknowledge the launch of the national task force on youth mental...

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Inequality in Access to Health Care: Discussion (5 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Dr. Burke for coming here and for her presentation which, as ever, was incredibly informative. My first question relates to evidence the committee heard from Professor Allyson Pollock on universal access underpinned by legislation. What are Dr. Burke's views on whether it is preferable to put legislation in place and frantically work towards it or to incrementally build to a point...

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Inequality in Access to Health Care: Discussion (5 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: I wish to raise the questions of structures. I do not want to get bogged down because I spent enough of my life dealing with them to want to leave them behind. I wish to raise the issue of local versus national accountability. I am aware of the Carlow-Kilkenny model - I am not sold on it as the be-all and end-all, as there are as many problems as there are fantastic things going on there -...

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Citizen-Centred Health Care: Civil Engagement (5 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: Senator Dolan referenced Article 40, on the right to form associations. That article is the basis from which I made a good living and is an issue about which I feel very strongly.
