- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Paul Murphy: The Minister for Health has the neck to come in here and claim that the pay and numbers strategy is not a recruitment moratorium when the health unions are telling us that is precisely what it is. To be clear, it does not matter to health workers or to patient safety whether or not it is officially called a recruitment moratorium. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a...
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I thank Deputy Duncan Smith and his colleagues for this important motion. This debate is about whether we have safe and adequate staffing levels in our hospitals and health services, and whether the pay and numbers strategy is an embargo by another name to prevent the recruitment necessary to reach the safe and adequate staffing levels required to ensure patient safety and provide treatment...
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Mattie McGrath: More than 1 million people are now on waiting lists for various medical treatments and consultations, a stark increase from the situation when the current Government took office. The public health service is grappling with a severe shortage of staff, which is directly affecting the ability of healthcare professionals to provide safe and effective care. The understaffing issue is not just a...

- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: I thank the Labour Party for tabling this motion on staffing levels in the HSE. The Social Democrats are happy to support it. There is no doubt that in recent weeks there have been several claims and counterclaims. This has made it difficult to get to the truth of the matter and the facts. The Minister's plan seems to be to muddy the waters instead of engaging in any kind of meaningful...
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: I also thank the Labour Party for bringing the motion to the House today. Members of the Fórsa trade union are due to join their colleagues in SIPTU and the INMO to protest on the Western Road in Clonmel on Thursday. I call on anyone who can attend to do so, and to show their support and solidarity between 12.30 p.m. and 1.30 p.m. While I suggest that Government representatives...
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Labour Party for bringing this important motion forward this morning. The motion is timely, particularly in a Mayo context, as I attended a protest on this very issue outside Mayo University Hospital, MUH, just last Thursday. I know the Acting Chair is very familiar with it. More than 100 protesters - members of trade unions like Fórsa, SIPTU and the INMO - were there on...

Michael Ring: There are two more speakers.
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes, they have two and a half minutes each. When the Minister goes to hospitals, everything is clear and pristine. He is given PowerPoint presentations. He needs to speak to the nurses, staff and healthcare assistants on the front line. He needs to call when the hospitals are not expecting him to call to see exactly what is going on in these situations. It is not fair on staff or the...
