- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: As I said to the Leader several weeks ago when this "special" comment was first made, special does not pay the mortgage for those in arrears. Special does not change the colostomy bag for the person whose home help hours have been cut.
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: When will the dictatorship which the Government has become take steps to put the people first rather than tell them we are special and using the media to do its dirty work and leak whatever reports it finds too difficult to discuss in public?

Marc MacSharry: I thank the delegates for taking the time to attend this meeting and talk to members. I commend the excellent presentation. I congratulate Mr. Maguire on the app, which I will download as soon as the Chairman allows me to turn on my phone in a few minutes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Youth Issues: Discussion with Comhairle na nÓg (22 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: The app is an excellent idea. I have a question about the stigmatisation associated with mental health issues. Do young people shy away from other young people with mental health issues? If somebody has a mental health issue, do people say, "Oh my God, we don't hang around with that person" or "That person has something wrong with them"? It seems to be a significant problem in this...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: World Prematurity Day 2012: Discussion with Irish Premature Babies Organisation (22 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: I appreciate that the Chair might rule this out of order. Given the unique expertise of Dr. Murphy in this area, and the current public debate on the matter, I would be interested to hear his professional view on the Savita case. How does he believe the investigation should be brought forward?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: World Prematurity Day 2012: Discussion with Irish Premature Babies Organisation (22 Nov 2012)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: World Prematurity Day 2012: Discussion with Irish Premature Babies Organisation (22 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: At least that is consistent with the Government response.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: World Prematurity Day 2012: Discussion with Irish Premature Babies Organisation (22 Nov 2012)

- Seanad: Order of Business (21 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: Yesterday I asked the Leader to make time available for a debate on agriculture. In his reply he stated that I could perhaps draft a questions which could be forwarded to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Coveney. While I accept that the Minister has been generous in giving of his time to come before the House, it is not acceptable that we should be obliged to put...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion with Minister for Health (20 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: I do not wish to cover the same ground but on the home help issue, does the Minister believe there is a link between that and the increase in attendance at accident and emergency departments? Also, at the launch of the Home and Community Care Ireland group in recent weeks, the group reported it could make savings of up to €280 million on home care while creating more hours for home...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Forthcoming Health Council: Discussion with Minister for Health (20 Nov 2012)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Forthcoming Health Council: Discussion with Minister for Health (20 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: I assure the Chairman that I am not. On many previous occasions, the Minister has heard me refer to the discriminatory nature of the national cancer control programme in the context of the north west. I have also referred to changes in cardiology, stenting procedures, etc.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Forthcoming Health Council: Discussion with Minister for Health (20 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: Yes, this is such a matter. I hope the Minister will be able to use the Presidency of the EU to advance care in this country. When I have questioned him on this matter, he has suggested that cross-Border solutions will apply in respect of those in the north west - where there are no cardio-catheterisation facilities - who require stenting procedures. Radiology services are also absent from...
