David Cullinane: It is hard to say. The Minister has pronounced it well.

Select Committee on Health: Public Health (Tobacco) (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (10 Oct 2024)

David Cullinane: I agree that this is a purist position. I understand the logic of it but I agree we have to live in the real world. When we were discussing the Bill within my party, I spoke to former smokers who said that, without vaping, they would still be smoking. That is particularly relevant in the context of Bills being brought forward that deal specifically with vaping. The public health view...

Select Committee on Health: Public Health (Tobacco) (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (10 Oct 2024)

David Cullinane: If that were the case, it would be all the more reason to consider amendment No. 2 and all that it calls for to be of value and assist any future Minister in that regard.

World Mental Health Day: Statements (10 Oct 2024)

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-----

World Mental Health Day: Statements (10 Oct 2024)

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.

World Mental Health Day: Statements (10 Oct 2024)

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...

World Mental Health Day: Statements (10 Oct 2024)

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...

World Mental Health Day: Statements (10 Oct 2024)

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...
