Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Governance in Irish Athletic Boxing Association: Discussion (3 Nov 2021)

I am raising this matter on behalf of all the people in our county and all the families who have been affected. I compliment Longford Hospice Homecare, a voluntary organisation that has been operating throughout my lifetime. People have done tremendous work in volunteering...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Hospice Services (2 Nov 2021)

Micheál Carrigy: I am disappointed. The response stated "based on local need". The facts are there about the local need and the numbers. This year alone, until the end of October, 11 patients and their families looked for the palliative bed but it was not available. In some cases, the bed was being used and in others it was being held for someone who might have had a higher need. It is not the case that...
