- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Healy-Rae: I thank the Labour Party for bringing forward this very important motion. If you can get a vet into your yard within an hour or an hour and a half, but if your grandmother goes to an emergency department she might have to wait for 24 hours to see a doctor, that is a bad sign for the health service. We are spending billions of euro on that service, but you can get a vet quicker than you...
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Collins: We find ourselves in an unbelievable situation. Four or five years ago there was a vote of no confidence in the then Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, and it led to a general election. That vote was called on the basis of the health service and health scandals. Nothing has got any better since then. People are waiting three to five years for cataract treatment, while others are waiting...

I thank the Labour Party for...

- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Paul Murphy: The Minister for Health has the neck to come in here and claim that the pay and numbers strategy is not a recruitment moratorium when the health unions are telling us that is precisely what it is. To be clear, it does not matter to health workers or to patient safety whether or not it is officially called a recruitment moratorium. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a...
