An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Nov 2025)

Marie Sherlock: Primary care psychology waiting lists are now up to a staggering 28,000. The figure for those waiting over a year is up to 16,000. In some parts of Dublin, children are waiting 13 years to be seen. That is not a waiting list; it is a non-existent service. My question is on recruitment. When we raise this issue, the Government throws its hands in the air and says the health service cannot...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (12 Nov 2025)

Marie Sherlock: What I am hearing from the Taoiseach is that Housing for All was a success, yet we have over 16,000 people registered as homeless. By any measure, the Government's housing policies have been an abject failure. There are unprecedented amounts going into housing, but where are they going? They are going to developers on foot of the policy of this Government in respect of turnkey acquisitions...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (12 Nov 2025)

Marie Sherlock: -----with regard to workers and how to secure apprentices and bring them into the system. The Government has failed in that regard.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (12 Nov 2025)

Marie Sherlock: Absolutely not.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (12 Nov 2025)

Marie Sherlock: That is not true. It is factually incorrect.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (12 Nov 2025)

Marie Sherlock: The fate of hundreds of thousands of young people, workers, families and those with a disability relies on what the Government will publish in its new plan for housing tomorrow. It is not a dramatic statement to say that young people are leaving our shores, workers with good jobs and decent incomes have zero hope of being able to buy, workers of all ages are condemned to a rental market with...

Committee on Drugs Use: Addiction, Sport and Well-being: Discussion (6 Nov 2025)

Marie Sherlock: I offer huge thanks to all the organisations here and particularly to Mr. Loughlin, whose contribution was incredibly powerful. He acknowledged his role as a role model in sport and wider society, so telling that story has an enormous impact. I thank him for all that work. We often talk about sport as a diversion from substance dependency, but I want to understand a bit more about the...

Committee on Drugs Use: Addiction, Sport and Well-being: Discussion (6 Nov 2025)

Marie Sherlock: I was really glad that Boxing Clever and especially Mr. Leavy's organisation raised the gender-specific aspect, because we do not talk about gender enough when we talk about substance dependency and abuse. I think 15% of women participate and the organisation has a clear link with the Dóchas Centre. Mr. Leavy might talk about the challenges of trying to encourage more women to...

Committee on Drugs Use: Addiction, Sport and Well-being: Discussion (6 Nov 2025)

Marie Sherlock: I do not want to ask another question but I pay tribute to the brilliant work of Boxing Clever because it powerfully makes the point that many women cannot take up the residential option. It is not an option for them. As an alternative this is a fantastic project. I pay tribute to the work and hope it expands. Obviously those involved have clear recommendations for the committee so I...

Decriminalisation of People Who Use Drugs: Motion [Private Members] (5 Nov 2025)

Marie Sherlock: -----often when it was not popular to be talking about it. As a proud TD for Dublin Central and the communities of Dublin Central, it is unconscionable to me that we have people dying in our streets and in our communities from drugs overdoses and that Ireland has one of the highest number of drug-induced deaths when compared with every other country across the European Union. To me, it...
