Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 May 2024)

Peadar Tóibín: One of the basic tenets of management is to measure what is happening. If we cannot measure what is happening, we cannot manage the situation.

Mr. Mullaniff talked about moving some of the services, or maybe putting more of a priority on community care as opposed to having a higher dependence on acute care, which is one of the tenets of Sláintecare that makes perfect sense.

Seanad: Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (27 Feb 2024)

Regarding amendment No. 25, we accept the tenet. If the Senator withdraws amendment No. 25, we will table a similar amendment on Report Stage. We believe the other amendments are not keeping with what was put to the people by...
