Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2021
Financial Statements 2021: HSE
Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023)

Brian Stanley: ...in during the next round. Abbeyleix is the one Deputy Burke is talking about, the old nursing unit there. That was pencilled in to be closed this time 12 years ago, but that was revisited and kept open, and rightly so, after a local campaign. It is recognised by the HSE that it was the right thing to do. It is a brilliant site and a brilliant location. The issue is that there is...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Jan 2021)

Brian Stanley: ...we write to the Department about how to learn from the Caranua process. Obviously, many survivors benefited from the work of Caranua. In some cases there were appeals, where applications failed and so on and people were not happy, but an awful lot of people were satisfied. Deputy Murphy may recall that at yesterday's meeting I asked that in its correspondence and in our dealing with the...

Climate Change: Statements (6 Dec 2018)

Brian Stanley: ...on what is probably one of the most important days in the current Dáil when we assess the current position through annual transition statements on climate change.

The Minister said that he is demanding that the board of Uisce Éireann pull up its socks and he has set out certain things for it to do. Fine Gael, the Labour Party and Fianna Fáil have all supported pushing water services out of democratic control, away from the Oireachtas and local councils. That is why...

Death and Burial of Children in Mother and Baby Homes: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (11 Jun 2014)

Brian Stanley: I welcome the fact that the Government seems to have accepted the spirit of the motion and the need to move as quickly as possible to investigate all aspects of the horrific stories, which have emerged not just recently but over the past decade and a half. The inquiry needs to extend to all cases highlighted in the past and to all cases into which full inquires have not been conducted,...

Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (26 Jun 2013)

Brian Stanley: The Bill is long overdue. There are very few Bills which are as long overdue as this one and I commend the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste for having the courage to bring it forward. Consecutive Governments, although bound by a Supreme Court ruling, chose to ignore the plight of thousands of Irish women. I extend my sympathy to Savita Halappanavar's friends and family and all the families...
