Taisceadán (Valuable Property Register) Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (30 Mar 2023)

Martin Kenny: I accept time has progressed, things have moved along and the Garda property app is up and running. However, few people know about that. It is not something the public is widely aware of and there is a job of work to be done around it in particular. I accept there can be issues. GDPR arrived on the scene and it is one of those things that just smothers everything. No matter what one...

Taisceadán (Valuable Property Register) Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (30 Mar 2023)

Martin Kenny: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." This motion is on legislation on having a national property register, which was first initiated by my predecessor as spokesperson for justice, Deputy Ó Laoghaire. I commend him on his work in this regard. The Bill is a simple legislation. It proposes an Act to establish a register of personal property so that people can register it....

Taisceadán (Valuable Property Register) Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (30 Mar 2023)

James Browne: Often we see that apart from what is stolen, the damage done to the houses often costs more than whatever money obtained for the stolen property. The damage to people's minds is often far more profound. I thank Deputies Ó Laoghaire and Kenny for bringing forward this Bill and for speaking on it this evening. I am acutely conscious of the impact of property crime, not only in financial...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Healthcare Policy (30 Mar 2023)

Peter Burke: I thank the Deputy for raising this very important issue. Again, I must give apologies for the Minister for Health, who obviously would be more aware of this topic and the review at the moment. Hyperemesis gravidarum is a severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, which the Deputy articulated very well. It affects approximately 1% of the pregnant population and must be...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Healthcare Policy (30 Mar 2023)

Jennifer Whitmore: I thank the Minister of State. I understand that this is not within his remit but it has taken the Minister two months to come up with a response that he gave me two months ago. It is an absolute disgrace. I would also like to point out that I cannot recall the last time the Minister for Health came into this Chamber to respond to a Topical Issues matter and gave the Members raising...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Healthcare Policy (30 Mar 2023)

Peter Burke: I will refer back to the Minister for Health on the issues Deputy Whitmore has raised quite rightly. I hear the Deputy's frustration in regard to this issue. She has articulated the points. I outlined the significant funding for women's health, which the Government takes as a significant priority in regard to the programme for Government. However, I will raise this with the Minister,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Schools Building Projects (30 Mar 2023)

Peter Burke: I thank Deputy Gannon for his remarks. I fully accept and appreciate the urgency of dealing with the conditions his community is facing in regard to this very important project. I will relay his dissatisfaction to the Minister for Education. I understand it is very important to get these projects progressed. One special school and one secondary school in the bundle are in my constituency....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services (30 Mar 2023)

Colm Burke: The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ireland, or MS Ireland as it is more commonly known, has set out a clear business case for the employment of nine physiotherapists, one in each of the HSE community healthcare organisation, CHO, areas. It has done so as a result of research and work done in the CHO 2 area where a physiotherapist is working. It is clear that the employment of a...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services (30 Mar 2023)

Peter Burke: I thank Deputy Colm Burke for raising this issue. I apologise again on behalf of the Minister for Health. The Sláintecare integration fund formed part of the Sláintecare Action Plan 2019, which established the building blocks for a significant shift in the way in which health services are delivered in Ireland. Budget 2019 provided €20 million for the establishment of a...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services (30 Mar 2023)

Colm Burke: I fully agree with the Minister of State in this regard. In fairness, the project in the CHO 2 area is working very effectively. It clearly sets out that progress is being made. Let us look at the figures. The 9,000 people who suffer with MS will account for 54,000 GP visits, approximately 16,450 nights in hospital and approximately 1,544 emergency department attendances per annum. Their...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services (30 Mar 2023)

Peter Burke: I thank Deputy Burke for his contribution and for raising awareness on behalf MS sufferers. He outlined the key metrics for GP attendances, emergency department attendances, hospital overnight stays and the number of people who suffer from MS. It should be a priority of the Government to support them in any way we can. As I said, this business case can be considered as part of the...

Jennifer Whitmore: This is not the first time I have raised this issue. In fact, I have been raising it for more than two years now, during which time many people have had to suffer unnecessary and avoidable difficulties in pregnancies because of hyperemesis gravidarum. It is not just difficulties, which is such a light word to use when it comes to what hyperemesis can do to people who are pregnant. I have...
