Mental Health Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Connolly: ..., they did not tell us whether that is years or months. I believe that one or two patients, or people, have been residents in that unit for years. That ties in with the housing crisis and there being no place to discharge people. Can the Ceann Comhairle imagine that we have somebody in an acute mental health unit because there is no place for them to go? I appreciate that the Minister...

Holly Cairns: The Taoiseach said this Government takes nothing off the table and anyone who thinks they will get off the hook is wrong but for his information, this has literally just happened with regard to the redress scheme for mother and baby homes. The Minister went over cap in hand to the Church to try to get a contribution and did not get one. Is the Taoiseach aware of a legal strategy that is...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Jul 2024)

John McGahon: I ask for a debate about Irish Water and our water infrastructure when we come back to this House in September. I ask because of an issue I raised previously in this House over the past two years, which is now quite serious in my home town of Dundalk, a town of 42,000 people, where the water has been absolutely rotten on many occasions. It is brown throughout the day for a huge number of...
