- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Employment Rights (10 Oct 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I want to discuss the importance of sick leave. I genuinely thought I had done a good job convincing the Government how important sick leave is, but after reading the budget, it turns out that I have a little more work to do. During the pandemic, we spent hours discussing the importance of sick leave and of workers being able to safely and affordably stay out of work when they were not...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Employment Rights (10 Oct 2024)
Dara Calleary: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta as ucht an deis labhairt faoi seo. I am taking this on behalf of the Minister of State, Deputy Higgins, and the Minister, Deputy Peter Burke. I know the House will join with me in expressing our sympathies to the Minister on the passing of his mother. As the Deputy indicated, statutory sick leave is a valuable public health intervention. It reduces...
- World Mental Health Day: Statements (10 Oct 2024)
Mary Butler: I thank Members of the House for their contributions. I thank all of those who work across mental health services in public, private and voluntary community services. They do a phenomenal amount of work. I want to refer to a couple of issues that were raised. I was asked whether the Mental Health Bill would fall if the Government was dissolved. Technically, it will fall. However, on...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: That is not the case. What happens in Crosslanes is that sometimes people are brought in there. The assessment is made but that is only done after the inpatients are looked after-----

Ruairi Ó Murchú: -----with regard to mental health. We also need the daytime service to be up to scratch because it is not at the minute. I think that involves all stakeholders.

Cathal Berry: I wish the Minister of State a good evening. I am very happy to be in the Chamber again this evening to make some very brief comments with regard to World Mental Health Day on behalf of the Regional Group. Why? I very much identify with what this day is trying to achieve, which is to raise awareness, and to reduce stigma and, unfortunately, shame as well. We can all certainly identify...
- World Mental Health Day: Statements (10 Oct 2024)
Joan Collins: First, I welcome these statements on World Mental Health Day. It is vital we mark what has become a crisis that has touched practically every family in the country. I wish to express my solidarity with the many people suffering with mental health and depression, with those families who have lost loved ones to suicide, and also people working within the mental health services. Everybody...
- World Mental Health Day: Statements (10 Oct 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: We have just heard the news of Israel deliberately firing on three UNIFIL positions in Lebanon. Our thoughts go out their families and those people who are engaged for us and others in peacekeeping. Obviously, this cannot stand in any way, shape or form. I imagine there is agreement across the House on that. I am very glad we have this opportunity to speak about mental health. I am...
- World Mental Health Day: Statements (10 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: I thank the Acting Chair for this very important debate. It is world mental health week and today is World Mental Health Day in the workplace. I read an article before I went out which stated that 37% of all people surveyed who came through the services of St. Patrick's hospital, Dublin, experienced work-related stress and work-related incidents in their workplace. Stress-related situations...

John Lahart: Deputy Kenny and I were councillors on South Dublin County Council at the same time. While the mental health of politicians is not more important than any other profession in life, a section of the people who impact the mental health of politicians are other politicians. Something we should bear in mind is the low levels politicians stoop to and the level of personalised attack. The...

Róisín Shortall: I welcome this opportunity for statements on mental health to mark mental health week. This session is overlapping in a health committee meeting where we are dealing with legislation so I am afraid I will have to leave after I speak and I will not be able to stay for the Minister of State's wrap-up.
- World Mental Health Day: Statements (10 Oct 2024)
Mary Butler: I understand.
- World Mental Health Day: Statements (10 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: For too long, mental health difficulties were seen as a personal failure and something to hide or be ashamed of. I think we are all familiar with those days, which I hope are becoming more distant. While that damaging misconception is changing, which is a welcome development, underlying stigma persists, particularly self-stigma. Last December, St. Patrick's annual attitudes survey found...
