- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: I understand the review taking place in the hospital in Limerick is coming to an end and the work is almost done. Perhaps Mr. Reid will share with us some of the findings or outline the briefings he has received. This is clearly a live situation as there are in excess of 100 people on trolleys in the hospital almost every day, even though we are in the summer period. What information on...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: I echo the words of Senator Boyhan regarding Councillor Noel Collins. I spoke in the Chamber less than three weeks ago when he stood down from Cork County Council after 54 years of dedicated, unbroken service. He was a great friend of mine for a long time. The last time I was in his home, he sat back and sang "The Stone Outside Dan Murphy's Door", which was quite amazing given the fact his...

Martin Conway: Hear, hear.
- Seanad: Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: I came into this debate late but I have been listening to Senator McDowell. I appeal to the Minister of State to actually listen to Senator McDowell. He has significant experience in Cabinet having been Attorney General. When he speaks about these things, he tends to know what he is talking about. What he is saying makes absolute sense and perhaps the Minister of State might reflect on...
- Joint Committee On Health: Addiction Services: Discussion (14 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: I thank our guests. I particularly welcome Ms Kelleher back. It is good to see her. I commend her on the work she is constantly doing in this area. One of the areas I was going to concentrate on was that of crime and intimidation and its effect on families but, thankfully, Deputy Ward did it for me. I also focus on the effects of this that families suffer. On a number of occasions I have...

- Joint Committee On Health: Addiction Services: Discussion (14 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: One of our recommendations, as a committee, is that a national structure is put in place so all of the organisations could plug into it and find a common platform. As we have said, and as the Chairman has said, on numerous occasions, addiction has a devastating effect on family members. Last Friday, I met the family member of a person who had passed away due to addiction. I was told that...

Martin Conway: There is a monthly engagement with professionals and peer counsellors must engage in that. Who funds that? Is it all fundraising or does the organisation get any support from the HSE?

- Joint Committee On Health: Addiction Services: Discussion (14 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: I thank Ms McKenna and Ms Sloan. I fully agree with them. I have one quick question for Ms Kelleher and her colleague. She was talking about trying to quantify outcomes when people, for instance, leave the service and go away about their lives. Clearly, they want to remain confidential. Most people who recover from addiction are private citizens and they do not necessarily want to...
