Has consideration been given to, or do any of the witnesses have a view on, the potential for cross-Border co-operation between, for example, Sligo and Derry, which would be a very obvious example, or Donegal and Derry?

Louise O'Reilly: ...companies in the Border region is only 8,721. In the south west, it is more than 47,000 and, in the mid-west, it is more than 25,000.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Deputy Donnelly referred to the nurses' strikes 20 years ago, or more. The last nurses' strike in which I was involved was in 2009 in Sligo.

I love how the national wage agreement is selectively quoted, just as I did when I was a union official....

Louise O'Reilly: I visited Sligo and Donegal for meetings recently and while I was there, I spoke to parents and families who are dependent on health services in the North. They are neighbours.

These people are very dependent...
