Leo Varadkar: ...Deputy Micheál Martin will understand. It is our intention to have an all-party motion in the spirit mentioned by the Deputy.

Report of the Joint Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Statements (Resumed) (18 Jan 2018)

Bernard Durkan: ...unpleasantness and full of false allegations. It did not do any good for our society. In fact, it divided society badly at that time. I sat in on most of the hearings chaired by the now Senator Jerry Buttimer in 2013 in course of the run-up to the then Minister, now Senator James Reilly's Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill. Many of the same issues arose again as well as quite a...

Leaders' Questions (9 Mar 2017)

Colleagues are correct that some of them were dealt with already by the Minister, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, yesterday and probably on Tuesday and on Committee Stage.

Jerry Buttimer: In the context of the national disability strategy under the Department of Health and the Cabinet sub-committee on social policy, I wish to ask the Taoiseach, in regard to autism, whether speech and language therapy will get priority.

Hospital Emergency Departments: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Jan 2016) See 3 other results from this debate

Brian Stanley: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this motion. I heard Deputy Buttimer state that we spend just over €13 billion on health per year. That is wrong. That figure refers to the amount spent on health from the tax take. The Deputy did not include the money that is paid in private health insurance and out-of-pocket expenses to pharmacists, consultants and a range of other services....
