- Seanad: Nursing Homes Support Scheme Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed) (17 Jun 2009)
Nicky McFadden: It is ridiculous.
- Seanad: Nursing Homes Support Scheme Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed) (17 Jun 2009)
Nicky McFadden: I support the amendment. It stands to reason that a database would be in situ . Where a person is moving from an acute hospital it is important that his or her medication and blood details, including their requirements, be available on an intranet within the HSE. I cannot understand why in respect of ordinary medicine this is not the case. Currently, individuals must outline their details...

- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Jun 2009)
Nicky McFadden: I listened with shock to the eminent consultant speak about what he termed the "grotesque" cuts in regard to the closure of 45 beds and the cancellation of surgery for seriously ill children in Crumlin hospital. The Minister then had the gall to state this was due to "overstaffing" â that was the word she used. We all received e-mails in this regard and I raised in the House previously...
- Seanad: Order of Business (11 Jun 2009)
Nicky McFadden: I raise the request by the HSE for â¬15 million in cuts at the University College Hospital in Galway. Yesterday some other Senators raised the review and downgrading of services in the south but there appears to be a continuing trend around the country. How can the people who are sick and vulnerable have confidence in centres of excellence which are consistently downgraded? It was quite...
- Seanad: Nursing Homes Support Scheme Bill 2008: Second Stage (10 Jun 2009)
Nicky McFadden: I welcome the Minister of State. This has been an interesting debate and I believe that all Members are singing from the same hymn sheet, that is, they unanimously seek the best for elderly people. While this Bill goes a long way it does not go far enough and, as Senator Twomey stated, the devil is in the detail. I have concerns with the present position with regard to eligibility and...

Nicky McFadden: Hear, hear.
- Seanad: Order of Business (10 Jun 2009)
Nicky McFadden: I appreciate the indulgence of the Cathaoirleach. Yesterday I wanted to congratulate everyone who had put names on a ballot paper, especially my colleagues Senators John Paul Phelan, Donohoe and O'Reilly, who put in tremendous campaigns. I have no doubt all will be back again, stronger and better. Yesterday, I wanted to ask the Leader to clarify a matter raised by Senator Cummins before the...
- Seanad: Order of Business (10 Jun 2009)
Nicky McFadden: What upsets me is that they were disenfranchised from being canvassed by all political parties. I contacted the management company for asylum seeker units on Thursday and was told no politicians were allowed into these units to canvas the residents. My colleagues in Westmeath had also been in touch with the centre and had been told the same thing yet they managed to get in at weekends or...

Nicky McFadden: I thank the Leader for organising the debate yesterday on the report of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse. It was timely and important we held that debate as soon as we did. To that end, I second Senator Twomey's proposal and the request of other Members for an ongoing debate on this issue. Today's Irish Examiner contains an article in respect of another family that wishes to have...
- Seanad: Report of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse: Statements (27 May 2009)
Nicky McFadden: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Moloney, to the House for this harrowing debate. It is a shame we must have it in the first place. I listened to Senator Corrigan's contribution and I compliment her on the way she spoke with such heartfelt compassion for people who have been abused. When she spoke of people who had intervened, it made me question whether people had listened, and I...
