Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: An ESRI report that will be published later today has found that changes made by the Government to the one parent family payment have led to a reduction in income for lone parents at work.

Given that a...

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...has been hugely affected by racism, discrimination, poverty and social exclusion. All of what I have outlined makes for grim reading.

Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 Nov 2015)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...for Health, Deputy Varadkar has been hedging his bets on universal health insurance since taking over the health portfolio from his Cabinet colleague, Deputy Reilly, but it took the blunt honesty of the ESRI and Dr. Maev-Ann Wren's determination to call it as she saw it, to wrest an acceptance from the Minister that the truth must out. Now we know that the Government's health plan is not...

Health (Provision of General Practitioner Services) Bill 2011: Second Stage (26 Oct 2011)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...forbid that I would not mention Tallaght, because he surely would. In Tallaght there are only 24 GPs for a population of 71,000. That is hugely below even our low State-wide level of provision.

Some 100,000 people are expected to emigrate from this jurisdiction.

Sinn Féin joins with those seeking real recovery and a fair way forward and...

Order of Business (21 Oct 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ..., this consensus continues, in which I must say I am glad I have no hand, act or part.

Will he give a clear commitment that nothing in the forthcoming budget will be in breach of the Government's position on the Croke Park agreement?

Interdepartmental Committees. (27 Jun 2006)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: .... Will the Taoiseach agree that in response to previous questions on this matter, the housing issue was not a major concern of the cross-departmental team?

Has the report been completed and presented, and what are its...
