- Other Questions: Property Tax Exemptions (29 Sep 2016)
Louise O'Reilly: My question concerns a number of frustrated households that have been in contact with my office from my constituency, Dublin Fingal, with regard to any flexibility that might exist for the recoupment of the LPT. These people have homes that were affected by pyrite. Their homes were remediated before the introduction of the LPT. They sent off in good faith any and all documentation that was...
- Other Questions: Property Tax Exemptions (29 Sep 2016)
Louise O'Reilly: With respect, they did send in all the requested documentation. I would like to put on the record, in case I need to, that it is not their fault that their houses and their homes have pyrite. They could have no way of knowing when they bought their homes that pyrite was present. They sent in all of the documentation. They complied with all of the rules as they understood them. They even...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Health Issues: Minister for Health (29 Sep 2016)
Louise O'Reilly: My first question relates to the Estimates and the new structure within the HSE, about which I heard from Fergal Bowers. There is an advertisement on the HSE website at the moment for 21 senior managers. People often say there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians in the health service and the HSE is not helping its own cause with that advertisement. What are the estimated costs of...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Health Issues: Minister for Health (29 Sep 2016)
Louise O'Reilly: My information is that there will be a significant cost. However, it is really a rearranging of the chairs. There will not be very many additional personnel with respect to the vacancy that exists. I am sure it needs to be filled. The Minister will understand that people do not like to see what I am describing, particularly in the case in question. I saw the details on Twitter; Fergal...

Louise O'Reilly: Is the Minister saying all nine criteria have equal weighting?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Health Issues: Minister for Health (29 Sep 2016)
Louise O'Reilly: There is no weighting, so I presume they all have equal weighting. The directorate and drugs group comprise the people referred to as "the leadership".

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Health Issues: Minister for Health (29 Sep 2016)
Louise O'Reilly: It is my understanding that the structure Fergal Bowers tweeted about has been put in place. Deputy O'Connell is right to say that the move should not have been done without recourse to the other health committee. I am sure any costs associated with the scheme will have to be incorporated. I ask the Minister for a clarification.

- Written Answers — Department of Health: Ambulance Service Data (29 Sep 2016)
Louise O'Reilly: 190. To ask the Minister for Health if he will release all safety reviews and incident reports of the ambulance fleet of the National Ambulance Service; the number of incidents that have taken place with the fleet in each of the past five years; if he will provide details of ambulance incidents including, but not limited to, fires, accidents and combustions; the actions taken after any events...

- Water Charges: Motion [Private Members] (28 Sep 2016)
Louise O'Reilly: Deputy Cowen should cross the floor and thank Teachta Ó Broin for giving him the opportunity to clarify Fianna Fáil's position because it has had more positions than the Kama Sutra on this issue. We are in dire need of clarification, and happily, Sinn Féin is in a position this evening to provide Fianna Fáil with an opportunity to send a very clear message to people who...
- Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Universal Health Care and the NHS: Discussion (28 Sep 2016)
Louise O'Reilly: I thank Professor Pollock for her presentation. I am keen to ask a question with regard to the difference between Scotland and England. Obviously, there is a shift in England towards privatisation. It does not seem to be the same in Scotland. Will Professor Pollock explain this by way of a difference in legislation or in terms of legal obligations? Is it simply the difference of choices...
- Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Management of Chronic Care Illness: Discussion (28 Sep 2016)
Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses for their presentations and for attending this morning. We heard from both GPs and consultants in the Carlow-Kilkenny area who told us that 5% of chronic disease management should be in the hospital and the balance of it should be in the community. Would Dr. O'Shea agree, but I can see by his nodding that he does.
- Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Management of Chronic Care Illness: Discussion (28 Sep 2016)
Louise O'Reilly: My question referred not just to GPs but also to the make-up of a primary care team. I am not asking Dr. O'Shea to necessarily put a figure on it but just to point us in the direction where we might get some idea of ratios. When the issue of primary care teams and staff is discussed, the answer we often get is that while everybody wants a fully staffed primary care team, what does that look...
- Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Management of Chronic Care Illness: Discussion (28 Sep 2016)
