- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (24 Jun 2025)
Michael Cahill: The national immunisation programme should include a vaccination for shingles free of charge for all our citizens.

Shingles can be quite painful and debilitating and these effects are more pronounced in older people. The...

Paul Murphy: I want to raise the poor state of healthcare for those suffering with allergies in this country. Many parents are forced to spend huge amounts to travel abroad to get their children the treatment they need. I spoke to a woman a few months ago who had to go to America for six weeks. She had to pay €8,000 for treatment. She was also out of work for six weeks and had to pay for...

John Connolly: The healthcare sector is one sector of our public service that relies heavily on attracting and recruiting practitioners and staff internationally. In 2024, 6,000 of the 17,000 critical skills permits provided by the State were in the health or social work sectors, 5,031 of which were for nursing staff. In 2023, the OECD said that 54% of nurses working in Ireland had trained in other...

Micheál Martin: There is going to be a flow and a fluidity in this from year to year, but the overall picture of investment in the south east and in Waterford has been positive and will continue to be in terms of Government commitment to the county. Deputy Moynihan raised the very important issue of SMEs, and that is covered by the LEEF. Divergence in employment standards and taxation issues between...

Marie Sherlock: The Cabinet today approved the patient safety (licensing) Bill. It is long-awaited legislation and one we very much welcome, but will there be minimum staffing numbers in that critical legislation? The INMO has been campaigning on this for a long time. On cervical cancer, I hosted the 221+ group last week. We saw reports at the weekend that cervical screening is still failing women....

It is a significant additional piece of data published in Nature magazine and...
