- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)
Martin Conway: The problem is that while all this planning and upscaling is going on, there are people who are very sick with Covid. I cannot for the life of me understand why this planning did not take place a year ago, because it was fairly clear in the early days of the pandemic that there were people who had lingering symptoms that were far beyond the period of ten days or two weeks. I have engaged...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)
Martin Conway: That centre of excellence is exactly what we want. People should expect all of those services from the centre of excellence. When are we going to have the first centre up and running, fully staffed and fully operational? When are we going to have the eight that have been committed to fully up and running, staffed and operational?

Martin Conway: I fully understand the difficulties and challenges with recruitment but as of now, Dr. Ní Bhriain cannot give me a date for when there will be at least one fully operational long Covid clinic in this country?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)
Martin Conway: Can we stick to the point? Can Dr. Ní Bhriain give this committee a date, or at least an expected date, as to when there will be one fully operational long Covid clinic in this country?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)
Martin Conway: Can Dr. Ní Bhriain give me a date?

Martin Conway: She is not answering it, Chairman.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)
Martin Conway: I accept that. However, at this time, Dr. Ní Bhriain cannot give me a definitive date three, six or nine months hence.

Martin Conway: As to when a clinic will be fully operational.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)
Martin Conway: They are not fully operational unless they are fully staffed. Let us be honest. We will leave it at that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion (12 Oct 2022)
Martin Conway: Good. I am just trying to get my head around this. What is the difference between Ireland and France, a country in the EU, where individuals can book vaccination appointments on an app and avail of them through the pharmacy? It is a member of the EU, as we are. Where is the missing link? How come its service is so swift, ready and accessible, but in this country it seems to be slow,...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Oct 2022)
Martin Conway: On behalf of the Fine Gael group, I express our sympathies regarding the ten people who lost their lives in County Donegal. Their families, communities, neighbours and friends and the people of Donegal have suffered considerably. This loss will be felt for generations. We stand in solidarity with them. We commend the bravery of the local people, the emergency services, the first...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Oct 2022)
Martin Conway: I would like to raise the issue of the victims of thalidomide, the effect it has had on their lives and the fact that they have never received an apology or compensation from the State. This is one of the scandals that will eventually be dealt with, but the sad reality is that the community which has been affected is getting smaller and smaller all the time. These are people who were born...
- Seanad: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (6 Oct 2022)
Martin Conway: I welcome the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan. A number of the issues have been outlined, specifically the issue of people with disability using our footpaths. As has been said, there are enough obstacles on footpaths. I was abroad over the summer and found it horrific to see scooters literally abandoned in the middle of the footpath. There has to be some way of forcing them off footpaths....

Martin Conway: What about the early-morning train to Cork?
- Seanad: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (6 Oct 2022)
Martin Conway: Not really. It would be difficult. The green bus between Dublin and Ennis is a great service. Mr. John O'Sullivan deserves great praise for what he has achieved with that. There is no green bus service from Ennis to Cork, however. The issue I raised affects people in places like Thurles and Portlaoise as well because many people are working in the Civil Service in Cork and so on. The...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Charitable and Voluntary Organisations (29 Sep 2022)
Martin Conway: I apologise if my understanding of where I was on the list of Commencement Matters differed from the Leas-Chathaoirleach's understanding.
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Charitable and Voluntary Organisations (29 Sep 2022)
