Sustainability of Stability of Services Provided by Section 39 and Section 56 Organisations on behalf of the HSE and Tusla: Statements (12 Oct 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: ...themselves available for discussions, they have rejected the quite frankly derisory offer which was made, bearing in mind that The Wheel is estimating that the difference could be as much as 20%.

Louise O'Reilly: ...crisis, NPHET and others have called for real checks and controls at our airports and seaports. In April of last year, Sinn Féin called for a quarantine regime for people entering the State. On 5 May, I stated in the media that our failure to impose New Zealand-style entry restrictions was undermining the efforts to combat Covid-19, but nothing was done and so here we are today with...

Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (Covid-19) Act 2020: Motion (3 Feb 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: ...the House. It is timely that we are having the debate here today. Extending the EWSS will provide continued support and much-needed certainty for workers and employers amid the ongoing level 5 restrictions.

Vote 32 - Business, Enterprise and Innovation (Revised) (18 Nov 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: ...For instance, does the Tánaiste have any indication as to why the Covid-19 life sciences products scheme and Covid-19 products scheme have had such low approval and pay-out leaves to date, with €1.9 million of €20 million and €500,000 of €5 million, respectively?

Microenterprise Loan Fund (Amendment) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Jul 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: ...for the first 12 months. That is what we are asking the Government to consider and the amendment seeks to ensure that businesses will have that breathing space. If we look across the water, we can see that more than 1 million bounce-back loans, worth a total of £30.9 billion, have been released to microenterprises. That is the kind of ambitious plan that will be needed to ensure...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: The company I worked for would have been delighted if the people doing quality assurance had accepted a conference call. It was an on-site visit. My final question relates to the €5 million allocated for the national CervicalCheck laboratory. Will that be affected by the cost overrun in respect of the national children's hospital?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jan 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: ...last week. It relates to construction cost drivers and was to give the speaker the opportunity to explain some of those drivers.

Louise O'Reilly: ...costs and getting value for money, if we do not have a funded workforce plan for the single biggest grade within the health service at this point in the proceedings, that figure of €346 million was never likely to be achieved, as there is no plan in place for the number of staff and, therefore, there is no capacity to control agency staff numbers, overtime or any of the other steps...

Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (28 Mar 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I bid the Minister of State and his officials a good morning. When members ask these questions, we tend to throw about 57,000 issues at the Minister, which means we tend to get very vague answers. It is hard not to take such an approach because there are deficiencies in so many areas but if I can I will try to focus on a number of areas. One is scoliosis. That is something we have raised...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Health Services Staff Recruitment (2 Jun 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: ...a great deal of blood spilled in the north inner city. Is this what we are waiting for before the budget will be increased?
