Alan Kelly: I appreciate that.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (23 Oct 2024)
Joe O'Brien: The question was fairly broad in that related to Tipperary and Clare, which is a big area. I will take back the specific issues the Deputy mentioned around Nenagh, Roscrea and Newport and long-term sick leave. The issue around leaving stations vacant comes up in my area as well. Sometimes, the senior garda in the area says they are between a rock and a hard place. People want to see...

Wastewater Treatment
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Wastewater Treatment (23 Oct 2024)
Holly Cairns: Since being elected, wastewater treatment has been a recurring issue raised by communities across Cork South-West. I am focusing on the issue of the wastewater treatment plant in Ballydehob this morning but almost every area of west Cork is feeling the pressure from crumbling water infrastructure. From an environmental and health perspective, the very least people should expect is the...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Wastewater Treatment (23 Oct 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: I thank the Deputy for raising this critically important issue. The supply of public water and the provision of water services in general are matters for Uisce Éireann in the first instance. Uisce Éireann has statutory responsibility for all aspects of water services planning, delivery and operation at national, regional and local level. The Minister has no function regarding...

Maurice Quinlivan: I remind members participating remotely that they must do so from within the Leinster House complex. Apologies have been received from Deputy Shanahan. Today we will look at pre-legislative scrutiny of the general scheme of the protection of employees (employers’ insolvency) (amendment) Bill 2024. The Bill provides for a number of important amendments to the protection of employees...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)

I thank the witnesses for assisting the committee in the consideration of this important matter. That concludes our business in public session. I propose that we go into private session to consider other business. Is that agreed? Agreed.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: I will have to leave shortly to go to the Chamber as well. I find it hard to understand how we get to a point where the cardiac strategy is five years out of date and we are only now talking about a new strategy. When was the Nolan report completed?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: In that case, it was completed nearly two years ago. What kind of engagement has the Irish Cardiac Society had with the Department of Health, the Minister or anybody at a senior level in the HSE on a new strategy?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: Is Professor McAdam saying we would be required to have a national strategy under development at European level?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: The likelihood is, even if there is cognisance taken of European developments, that we are talking about developing a new strategy, which would likely take some time.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: That issue will not change quickly, unfortunately. We have been looking for the health strategy to be implemented for a long time. Regarding the recent session in Budapest, given the importance of cardiovascular disease and the fact it is the second biggest contributor to mortality, it strikes me, and it is disappointing, that the senior Minister was not there. That is just a comment. ...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: Yes, but what is the split?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: I would also add in the commercial determinants of health. We have been doing a lot of work on that and issues related to drinking, smoking, fast food and all of that. There are big commercial pressures brought to bear on government related to that. I think the area of commercial determinants should be included in that because there is those big industries have considerable access to...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: Okay, but at the end of that Professor McAdam is saying only 5% of people have inherited conditions.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: What does the screening entail? Is it very costly or why is it so underdeveloped?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: For child screening, when or how is that done?
