David Cullinane: Before we conclude, it is important to review what we have agreed for next week. Before I do that, I believe I can speak on behalf of all members on this issue. Today started for me with the "Morning Ireland" interview with Emma Mhic Mhathúna. Since then, I have spent hours at this meeting and I have found this to be one of the most depressing exchanges the committee has had because...

2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018)

David Cullinane: Yes. My understanding is that our meeting with representatives from the National Treatment Purchase Fund and nursing homes to discuss the 2016 financial statements will proceed. As a result, there will be two elements to next week's meeting. While it is a matter for the Chairman and clerk to sort out times, I expect the more lengthy of the two sessions will be the follow-up discussion with...

David Cullinane: While I am aware that this has been a long day for witnesses and that many of the questions have been robust, they will understand that members have a job to do and must put questions. I thank them for their attendance.

Future of the European Union: Statements (9 May 2018)

David Cullinane: I welcome the opportunity to have a discussion on the future of Europe. It is timely and important that we take stock of where Europe is at. Ireland and smaller countries have to play their role, have their place and are central to what should be a reform agenda within the European Union. My party believes the entire island of Ireland should stay in the European Union, that the European...

Future of the European Union: Statements (9 May 2018)

David Cullinane: At least my party and others had the courage to have a critical engagement and state that while, yes, we wanted to be part of the European Union, we want a European Union that was democratic, one in which smaller states did have powers.

Future of the European Union: Statements (9 May 2018)

David Cullinane: I noticed that when other Deputies made their contributions, there were no interruptions.

Future of the European Union: Statements (9 May 2018)

David Cullinane: I assume I will be given the same opportunity-----

Future of the European Union: Statements (9 May 2018)

David Cullinane: -----as difficult as it might be for some of the representatives of those parties that were part of the problem that led to the creation of what is becoming a federal Europe. They do not like to hear the truth. It is interesting that almost every party is becoming more critical of the European Union. For example, the Government is robustly challenging the Apple judgment of the European...

Future of the European Union: Statements (9 May 2018)

David Cullinane: Other parties which are fearful of an emerging European superstate were also against it. Some of us in this House do not wish to see a European army. I am not sure about the Deputy-----

Future of the European Union: Statements (9 May 2018)

David Cullinane: -----but I do not want to see my taxes-----

Future of the European Union: Statements (9 May 2018)

David Cullinane: Perhaps I should address the Chair as there is a lot of heckling from the Fianna Fáil benches; they obviously do not like what is being said.

Future of the European Union: Statements (9 May 2018)

David Cullinane: I put it to the Acting Chairman who is impartial that there is absolutely no doubt that both Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael agreed to support greater militarisation of the European Union. What will that mean? It means that at a time when there is a housing crisis, a health crisis and people are living in real poverty these guys think it is good that we should spend more money in developing...

Future of the European Union: Statements (9 May 2018)

David Cullinane: Thank you, Billy.

Gambling Control Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 May 2018)

David Cullinane: I commend the Bill's authors on introducing it and giving us an opportunity to have a debate on gambling and more importantly to move the legislation forward. I wish to unpick the last two paragraphs of the Minister of State's opening speech. They are very telling and paint a picture of a Government that is not really committed to this and does not believe it will happen anytime soon. He...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)

David Cullinane: Of questions 7 to 10, two referred to cardiac services at University Hospital Waterford and two to the national review of specialist cardiac care. Questions 7 and 8 are specifically about interim measures which were to be put in place to support cardiac care at University Hospital Waterford. When Professor Herity published his report he recommended that the capacity of the existing single...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)

David Cullinane: That did not happen. We are 20 months down the road since Professor Herity made his recommendation and not one minute of additional time has been put in place. We are hearing that there are difficulties in respect of recruitment.
