Joan Collins: I did not mention the NHS.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Nov 2023)

Joan Collins: I accept that money has been put into the health service - there is no doubt about it - but we are coming from a very low level in the first place. The national lCU audit annual report specifically stated there are just six critical care beds per 100,000 people, after a record level of money into the health service. That is less than half of the OECD average of 14.1. The reality is these...

Imposing Sanctions on Israel: Motion [Private Members] (15 Nov 2023)

Joan Collins: I support the Private Members' motion tabled by the Social Democrats. I am disappointed with the Government's amendment. The only thing in common that the motion and the amendment call for is a ceasefire, on which we all agree. We all call for this and we all need to push for it. What we are witnessing before our very eyes is the annihilation of Gaza and its people. So far more than...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Nov 2023)

Joan Collins: In reply to a parliamentary question last June, the Tánaiste stated that “in the absence of progress towards a two-State solution", Ireland would recognise Palestinian statehood. This was reaffirmed in September, when he stated that the Government favours recognition. With the sheer brutality of the ethnic cleansing we are witnessing the Israeli state rain down on Gaza, with...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Nov 2023)

Energy Charter Treaty: Statements (9 Nov 2023)

Joan Collins: I am pleased that the Energy Charter Treaty is being discussed. Only one Government speaker has spoken on this matter so far. This is one of the most important issues facing Europe and the world. I know there are two speakers coming in to speak now but I would have thought there would have been more Green Party speakers.

Energy Charter Treaty: Statements (9 Nov 2023)

Joan Collins: I cannot emphasise enough the importance of discussing the Energy Charter Treaty. I raised this issue twice last April, once with the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and once with the Tánaiste. I was none the wiser about the Government's stance on the obvious detrimental effects of this treaty other than that it would hide behind the EU for political cover. During Leaders' Questions, I...
