- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: There are no pathways. Even if there was something for her daughter, changes could be made so this would not happen again.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: I can confirm, having represented a family in these circumstances, that the gaps in the system are significant. When you try to change them, you are bounced from one place to another, which is very disappointing and heartbreaking for families. We will see what happens. Is it agreed that we will publish them and wait for responses to come back?

- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: It is a timely petition in light of the current issues regarding overall airport capacity and the extra flights. I agree with Deputy Buckley. We need more detail about what is involved in the review that is taking place. We can make some sort of judgment on what type of consultation is involved between the petitioner and the DAA. If everyone is happy, is that agreed?

A petition may be addressed to the Oireachtas on a matter of general public concern or interest or an issue of public policy. Next on the agenda is any other business. Do members have any...

Roderic O'Gorman: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak on Second Stage of this important legislation. It is incredibly worthwhile legislation, which will have a very real impact on women at a very important juncture in their lives. The Bill provides for two main areas of reform. The first is to allow a pause in maternity leave for treatment...
- Maternity Protection Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Second Stage (17 Oct 2024)
Seán Sherlock: I thank Deputy Kerrane for ceding time to me to speak on the Bill. The Labour Party broadly welcomes the Bill. I ask that an additional explanatory memorandum be supplied on the NDAs and the records. It would be good parliamentary practice if it were possible. We reserve the right to bring forward amendments on records and NDAs as well as the maternity leave protection elements of the...

The onus is on each group to reach compliance with the regulations and the governance has to be in order. They can engage...

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Oct 2024)
Mary Butler: It is absolutely untrue to say there are not 24-7 supports for people with mental health issues in Wexford. They can attend the emergency department in Wexford General Hospital, which will always be the first port of call, that is, an out-of-hours emergency department.
