Pauline O'Reilly: ...x20ac;20,000. We have 19 hospitals that have no facility at all for these cold caps. That would amount to €364,000 in total to get a machine in each of those hospitals. We often talk about the postcode lottery for many things in Ireland. However, there is no need in this particular case because it is such a small cost. One particular hospital in Tullamore did have the facility...

Seanad: National Lottery (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (29 Sep 2021)

Pauline O'Reilly: ...life, which everybody should have. I was listening earlier, although I could not attend the Chamber at the start of the debate.

Pauline O'Reilly: ...education system but it does mean that we need to step beyond that and have relationships and sexuality education, RSE, that is the same across the country instead of it being a postcode or school lottery.

The carers guarantee in the programme for Government should address this. This was also proposed by Family Carers...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 May 2021)

Pauline O'Reilly: ..., Senator Chambers, said in relation to partners.This is something I brought up last Friday and the Leader has brought up herself on a number of occasions. I am particularly frustrated at the postcode lottery, which I also raised last week, which is the fact that in Galway partners are allowed in for one hour a day when the baby is born. In the rest of the north west there is no visiting...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Apr 2021)

Pauline O'Reilly: ...that he has spent supporting his family over the past couple of years. My thoughts are with the whole family. I commend Senator Ahearn on bringing up the subject of hyperemesis because there is a lottery when it comes to medication.

It went nowhere near...
