- Seanad Public Consultation Committee: Children's Mental Health Services: Discussion (29 Jun 2017)
Máire Devine: I will go back to the idea of integrated care and placing it within our communities in order that it is normalised and not stigmatised.

There are many easy solutions there. I want to end with the two words that simplify the crisis: Linn Dara. I have raised it every day in the Seanad on countless occasions. I keep throwing the name out and keep accosting Ministers...

The Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, said this morning that there is no situation in Ireland that is directly comparable to Grenfell. What does "directly comparable" mean? This morning the chief fire officer of Dublin Fire Brigade said that the local authorities are best placed to carry...
