- Seanad Public Consultation Committee: Children's Mental Health Services: Discussion (6 Jul 2017)

- Seanad: Report on Dying, Death and Bereavement: Statements (4 Jul 2017)
Máire Devine: I welcome the Minister and those in the Gallery. I received the questionnaire on death, dying and bereavement, and shuddered and stayed away from it for a while.
