Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Future of Health Care (Resumed): Dr. Stephen Kinsella (14 Sep 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: I, too, thank Dr. Kinsella. I echo what Deputy Kelly said about the study - it is very interesting and very timely. Dr. Kinsella referred to planning cycles. Clearly we have been locked into something of an election cycle with regard to our health planning for a very long time. Would he have a suggestion as to what the ideal cycle is in terms of workforce planning? Clearly 50 years is...

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Mr. Corbridge for the presentation and while I apologise for missing some of it, I got a chance to read it beforehand.

Louise O'Reilly: That is nonsense. The Deputy is way over his time.

Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: It is refreshing to hear Deputy Heydon talking about the great fighting spirit in the Government. It is regrettable that none of this is going to be made available to the poor hard-pressed citizens of the country. Instead, Deputy Heydon chooses to don the green jersey, roll his sleeves up and go out to bat for a multinational corporation.

Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: The Government is defending a historical tax arrangement which it claims is fair and just. Clearly there is a lot of anger outside this Chamber at this decision.

The people I spoke to were clear: they are angry that our Government appears to be incapable of questioning what some suggest is the dubious notion that we must impose water...

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Future of Health Care: Health Reform Alliance (20 Jul 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the delegates for their presentation. I have a few questions about the current structure, such as it is. I am reminded of the saying that if we want to get there, we should not start from here. Of course, we are where we are. Do the delegates believe the Department of Health or the HSE should be the greatest driver of the introduction of universal health care? Do they think the...

Domiciliary Care Allowance: Motion [Private Members] (19 Jul 2016)

It is important not just for us to state here that this issue is a priority, but that people outside know it is a priority for us. We welcome that there is broad cross-party support for the motion. However, we must be cognisant of the fact that the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, has just uttered words...

Topical Issue Debate: Neuro-Rehabilitation Policy (19 Jul 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: With the greatest of respect, what the Minister of State has just read out is word for word a copy of a letter I received. I did not even have to look at the copy of the reply I was handed because I had it already. I received it on 15 July from the HSE. I asked the Minister of State for a date and a meaningful plan by the end of this year, with dates and achievable timeframes. The report...

Topical Issue Debate: Neuro-Rehabilitation Policy (19 Jul 2016)
