- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Health and Well-being for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (23 Oct 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Health and Well-being for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (23 Oct 2024)
Dessie Ellis: The issue I came across was of a young lad with Down's syndrome who could not get a tooth removed and had to search everywhere. Doctors were not signed up to this or helping out and I found it to be really disturbing that he went two, three or four days or whatever it was in pain and without being treated. It is one of the things I have encountered.

Dessie Ellis: What is the law relating to someone who refuses to allow their children to be vaccinated, if the child has a disability or otherwise, as for whatever reason they have an objection? Is there a law or do we just have to go along with the person? What is the situation?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Health and Well-being for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (23 Oct 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Health and Well-being for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (23 Oct 2024)
Dessie Ellis: I thank Mr. Dempsey and everyone for their input. Before I go to the questions I have, I just want to say that in CHO 9, we have many problems very similar to what has been said about school places and people getting diagnosed. We have young kids on the waiting list for long periods. That is an ongoing thing. A lot of work has been done but there is a serious problem there. It appears...

- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Sinn Féin is not opposing the amendment. However, I must say that a number of the justifications used by the Minister of State in describing the amendment are not factually correct. I would like to give him the opportunity to clarify some of the aspects behind this very specific amendment given that it is a very significant amount of money. The LDA does not have access to over...
