Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Respite Care Services Provision (25 Jun 2019)

Séamus Healy: It is disgraceful that parents had to take to the airwaves to demand that the decision to cut summer respite services for children with special needs run by the Brothers of Charity at St. Rita's in Clonmel be reversed.

Home Help Service Provision: Statements (12 Jun 2019)

Séamus Healy: The Minister of State has said a number of times tonight that no hours will be cut. I live in the real world, and what will happen is that there will be a new method of assessment of people for home help hours and, whether the Minister of State wants to call it a cut or a new method of assessment, people will end up with fewer home help hours.

Of course, we are far...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (12 Jun 2019)

Séamus Healy: Time and again, we have heard the mantra of the public service pay agreement. It has been repeated ad nauseamthis afternoon. I remind the Taoiseach that, in November 2018, the Government gave the average garda an extra €4,000 per annum through an increase in rent allowance and other concessions under a €50 million deal.
