Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes, but I have five minutes. I am sorry, Acting Chair. I will stop after five minutes. You know how important-----

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...

Michael Ring: I call Deputy Ó Murchú. Sorry, Deputy Munster is next on the list.

Rose Conway-Walsh: I had five minutes.
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Ring: I am not talking about Deputy Conway-Walsh; I am talking about the Deputy behind her whose name is down here. He jumps the list every week and he then goes on too long. I call Deputy Munster. He will not do it today.

Imelda Munster: You are fairly ratty this morning, Acting Chair.
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: The Acting Chair did not let me go over time the last time.
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Ring: He will not do it today. I can tell the House that.
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Imelda Munster: Will the Acting Chair stop the clock? I was about to address the Minister but he has left the building. Perhaps he has gone for coffee or something. He cannot be too concerned about the pre-winter crisis in hospitals across the State. I was going to say to him that we are already seeing worrying cutbacks in patient services, even ahead of the winter surge, and Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital...
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: My intention was to go last so as not to take time from anybody. In fairness, Deputy Munster has dealt with a considerable amount of information on Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, including the warnings relating to the emergency department. On Thursday, 10 October, Fórsa, the INMO and SIPTU organised a large demonstration and protest outside the hospital, but that is not what we want to...

Stephen Donnelly: I misspoke. It is in quarter two.
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Alan Kelly: The Minister has misspoken a couple of times because he referenced it a couple of times. I have researched it. What date will it open? The second thing is that the community nursing home in Nenagh will be handed back to what it should be used for on the same day. The second thing is that medical assessment units, MAUs, are committed to going to 24 hours. When will that happen? The MAU...
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: I thank the Labour Party for tabling this motion and giving us an opportunity to discuss this important issue. In all the discussions on budget 2023 and budget 2024, as the Minister knows, I pointed out robustly that the health service was not getting the funding it needed to stand still, that we were running significant deficits, and that at some point, a cheque would have to be written to...

Stephen Donnelly: There is no link between those two things.
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: That recruitment embargo was put in place by the head of the HSE. I did not interrupt the Minister. I have my time. The Minister can dispute what I am saying but it is indisputable. The HSE said there was a need to contain costs. He sent communications to the health service that he was putting in place a recruitment embargo with very limited exceptions relating to final-year nurses and...
