- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: The high energy has fizzled out. Gone.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: We know that, and you are not doing it. It is just spin, spin, spin.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: At a time when rents are at record levels the Tánaiste's Government has come up with a new solution: to hike them up even further. Its proposal to effectively remove rent controls from new tenancies signals disaster for renters, especially young people, students and their families and anyone who moves to a new rental home. The reality of the Government's plan was always clear, but now...

David Cullinane: Again the Tánaiste's response is all spin, bluster and blaming everybody else-----
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: -----but his Government for the fact it is bringing in policies that will drive up the cost of rent for many people. Students will not buy his line of argument. They will see through his spin. Many students are going to see their rent and the cost of their accommodation increase. They know it. They know the Government does not have their backs. The Tánaiste talks about a balance,...

David Cullinane: It is more money for them and more profit for them, which is always the case under Fine Gael, which represents a cosseted, privileged class, from my perspective.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: Ordinary people who have to pay increased costs on groceries, insurance and now rent are the ones who are paying the price. The Tánaiste should stand up once and for all. He should not be blaming Sinn Féin for something we did not do and take responsibility for his actions. The Central Bank made it clear today this will hurt those same people. Take responsibility for it, stop...

David Cullinane: More spin, more bluster.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: I have never found it so difficult to prepare for a session of any committee. I have been in the Oireachtas since 2011. The reason I found it so difficult is the full breadth of crises and scandals in CHI. I say to Ms Nugent that it is almost impossible in this session for us to give justice to the families who feel let down. We had the Boston review. We had the HIQA review into the use...

David Cullinane: Who referred it to An Garda Síochána?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: Why did CHI not refer it to An Garda Síochána?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: One second, please. It is CHI's view that they did not meet the threshold. Since Ms Killeen White referred it to An Garda Síochána, did she get any correspondence or any view from CHI, even now, with regard to whether it felt it appropriate that it was referred to An Garda Síochána?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: I did not ask that. I asked that since Ms Killeen White referred the report to An Garda Síochána, has she had any communication or view from CHI as to whether or not, even now, it should have been referred?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: That is since it was referred.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: I find that extraordinary. The HSE was informed by CHI about this unpublished report at a meeting in March 2022. That is what CHI says. Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: There is no reference whatsoever, so when CHI says that it informed the HSE of that report, is that accurate?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: I cannot accept that there is any cultural shift within CHI. There is a culture of secrecy. What was in this unpublished report referred to a silo mentality and a toxic culture within the organisation. Despite Ms Nugent's best efforts, she has a lot of work to do. I want to get to some of the issues in this unpublished report. I have spoken to the head of the HSE and I know that it...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)
David Cullinane: It was not accepted. It was certainly not published. The important part is whether or not children were notified. I will read from an extract of that report, which was in the public domain and details of which were published in a Sunday newspaper. It states: Evidence from the gathered patient information shows that patients in both Temple Street and Crumlin have been neglected and have...
