Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 66 of 66 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded).

Covid-19 Pandemic
I thank the Minister of State for her response and Senator Casey for raising this issue which is a concern of every public representative. The Irish Kidney Association has done much work advocating for its members, many of whom have no choice but to go into hospital every week. As they cannot delay their dialysis they need to be protected as much as they can be when going into hospital. I thank the Minister of State for coming in. I know the Minister of State will welcome the Member who will take over as Acting Cha…

Mental Health and Covid-19: Statements
I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, for coming to the House again today. We could nearly make her an honorary Member as this stage. We are taking statements on mental health and Covid-19.

I am glad the Minister of State is here to outline the issues and for Senators to be able to talk about the challenges they and their constituents are facing with this topic.

I thank Senator Black for her work on the mental health committee in the Oireachtas and for her work outside of Leinster House in the voluntary sector in the area of mental health. I remind Members we are sticking to the rota and even if people come in out of sequence, unfortunately, we still have to stick to the rota. We are still going through the spokespersons in the debate. Before Senator Mullen speaks, I ask Senator Seery Kearney to take the Chair for the first time and thank her for taking up a role as an Act…

I welcome the Minister of State to the House for this very important debate. I know many parents throughout the country are anxious to hear the update on the provision of special education for their children, an issue that has many families under stress at the moment. I hope the Minister of State will outline how we can relieve the stress on those families.
