- Seanad: Imminent Closure of Cuisle Accessible Holiday Resort: Statements (27 Nov 2019)
Gabrielle McFadden: I thank Senator Noone for agreeing to share time. I shall not repeat everything that has been said. Senator Hopkins and Feighan, among others, have spoken very passionately about the closure over the last number of weeks. Nobody is more in favour of getting rid of congregated settings for people with disabilities than I am. I am of the view that people with disabilities should live in...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Nov 2019)
Gabrielle McFadden: Obviously. I concur with the remarks of Senator Conway-Walsh regarding the Safe Ireland conference. Yesterday was UN International Day for the Elimination of Domestic Violence against Women. The conference, which was held in Westport, was exceptionally good. What I took away from it is that we need to have a whole-of-Government approach to domestic violence. I was struck when I heard...

Gabrielle McFadden: I want to raise the issue of mental health facilities, the child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, and disability services in my local community health organisation area, CHO 8. I have said on numerous occasions that I believe CHO 8 has the least funding per capita for disability services and for CAMHS. I am concerned that every time there is a difficulty with the budget,...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Air Ambulance Service Provision (19 Nov 2019)
Gabrielle McFadden: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. There are men and women going about their normal daily business in the midlands today who would not be with us were it not for the fantastic service provided by the Irish Air Corps, the National Ambulance Service and the AC112 air ambulance helicopter, based in Athlone, since 2012. Similarly, men and women are going about their daily business...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Air Ambulance Service Provision (19 Nov 2019)
Gabrielle McFadden: I pay tribute to the Air Corps for the professional and effective service provided by it. However, it is disappointing in this day and age that we have to rely on a helicopter provided by a charity. I thank the Minister of State for his assurance that the service will continue to be provided. However, he did not mention Athlone. In 2012 when Deputy Coveney was then in the position of...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Nov 2019)
Gabrielle McFadden: I was not going to say anything because I already spoke about the Defence Forces during Commencement Matters. However, I feel the need to do so now because a previous speaker mentioned misleading comments. A misleading comment was made in this House last week when it was said that the Taoiseach had ordered the cancellation of a Remembrance Day event because he had to attend Gay Byrne's...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Nov 2019)
Gabrielle McFadden: The Taoiseach and the Ministers attended many remembrance events around the country to commemorate the deaths of soldiers who fought in the First World War. The Defence Forces decided to cancel last week's event, without any consultation with the Taoiseach or his Department. The reason for that lack of consultation was that he had not been invited to the event.
