Prayer. 18/04/2013A00100Leaders’ Questions 18/04/2013A00200Deputy Micheál Martin: The Minister for Health, Deputy Reilly, is assuring everyone that the health service is getting better and waiting lists are getting shorter� He assures us that patients who are waiting the longest for treatment are in fact being treated� Unfortunately, the facts and figures confirm that since taking office, the number of adults waiting for surgery in the country’s hospitals has actually increased by a dramatic 40%. The latest figures show that 13,435 adults were waiting longer than six months at the end of March� This is a damning indictment of the stewardship of the Minister, Deputy Reilly� There now are more patients waiting for treatment for longer than six months, eight months and nine months� When con- tacted about this situation, the Department of Health has confirmed and states it is due to severe pressures on emergency departments although this is another area the Minister, Deputy Reilly, stated recently was under control and getting better� On the ground, however, nothing could be further from the truth� For example, in the past three weeks alone, all elective surgery except for paediatrics has been postponed in Cork Uni- versity Hospital� In that hospital, a daily e-mail is being sent to the wards telling them to cancel all elective surgery� This includes cardiac, orthopaedic and neurosurgery and, most shockingly, it includes cases for the treatment of cancers� Consultants inform me that it is practically im- possible to plan any elective surgery as the accident and emergency department is so busy� That hospital is finding it extremely hard to cope and while three wards are closed in that hospital alone, 84 wards are closed across the country’s public hospitals� In addition, 408 pa- tients were on trolleys yesterday in accident and emergency units across the health system� Yet again, this is an area the Minister for Health, Deputy Reilly, states is under control� Is the Minister, Deputy Reilly, in denial or is he living in some fantasy land? Does the Tánaiste accept that severe issues now face the health service and that the centre within the health service can no longer hold? At present, 2,277 public beds in the health service are closed and elective surgery, even in cancer cases, is being postponed as a result� 1 Dáil Eireann 18/04/2013A00300An Ceann Comhairle: Thank you, Deputy� 18/04/2013A00400Deputy Micheál Martin: These are not my figures but come from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, which, on entering office, the Minister, Deputy Reilly, indicated he would accept as being the official figures in respect of trolley count, enclosures and so on. 18/04/2013A00500An Ceann Comhairle: Thank you, Deputy� 18/04/2013A00600Deputy Micheál Martin: Does the Tánaiste acknowledge the health service is now under extraordinary strain and requires dramatic intervention by the Government to arrest the crum- bling across the board of all aspects of the service it attempts to provide for the people? 18/04/2013A00700The Tánaiste: First, from the very outset the priority of the Government has been to un- block access and to improve the flow of patients because patients are its number one priority. As set out in the programme for Government, the Minister for Health established a special delivery unit immediately on foot of the Government entering office. The aim of the special delivery unit is to unblock access to acute services by improving the flow of patients through the system� The Government’s commitment to improving access is clear and part of it pertains to the reform of hospital services� However, it is important to be clear about the facts in this regard. A figure of 13,435 adults waiting for planned procedures has been quoted in the media and Deputy Martin repeated it this morning. I am informed that this figure is incorrect. The actual figure I have to hand is 10,002 at the end of March and that has been published on the National Treatment Purchase Fund’s website, www.ntpf.ie. This constitutes an increase of 4% from the figure of March 2011 and not 40% as the Deputy has alleged� However, when considering these numbers, one must take into account both the numbers of people who are on the list and the period of time they have been waiting� In March 2013, the median waiting time was 2.4 months, which was a decrease from the equivalent figure of three months in March 2011� Moreover, when the special delivery unit was set up in July 2011, a to- tal of 6,277 patients were waiting for more than nine months for inpatient or day case treatment, and this was a legacy left by Deputy Martin’s Government� However, by December 2012, just 109 patients were waiting for longer than nine months, and this is an achievement that ought to be acknowledged� However, the Government is not complacent� The progress does not mean the problem has been solved� The Deputy asked me whether the health service is under strain and the health service always

Posteriormente inició estudios de Derecho en el Trinity College de Dublín, la más reputada casa de estudios de Irlanda y ampliamente ligada a la cultura protestante. Entonces esta universidad seguía poniendo muchas barreras al acceso de los católicos; ella estaba resuelta a labrarse la carrera en la institución, así que se sometió a sus requisitos y solicitó un permiso especial del arzobispado católico para poder matricularse. Estudiante brillante, en 1967 sacó el bachiller universitario con altas calificaciones y fue becada para continuar su formación jurídica en la Universidad de Harvard. El año que pasó en Estados Unidos influyó decisivamente en su orientación profesional. Esto sucedía a finales de los años sesenta, un período de agitación en los campus y de protestas contra la guerra de Vietnam y la discriminación racial, y la experiencia adquirida en la salvaguardia de los derechos cívicos le convenció que debía dedicarse a la asistencia legal en este terreno. En 1968 obtuvo la licenciatura en Derecho y regresó a su país, donde continuó los estudios en el Trinity College hasta terminar una segunda licenciatura, en Humanidades, en 1970.

  • “Cluskey - the Conscience of Labour”
    Liberty SEPTEMBER 2015 “Cluskey - The conscience of Labour” “Conscience makes cowards of us all”. But so also can the quest for power particularly for some on the left who seek justification for the abandonment of core principle. The trick is to marry the two and effect real change where it matters. Successfully managing that difficult political challenge was the life’s work of the late Frank Cluskey, former Labour Party leader as revealed in this biography launched ironically on the same day that part of his achievement in social welfare for single parents was unravelled by his successors in the Irish parliamentary Labour Party. Frank Cluskey’s CV reeks with street cred. Born and reared on Dublin’s north side he served an apprenticeship as a butcher. As Jack McGinley notes, he didn’t lick his trade unionism off the ground and in 1954 at the age of 24 succeeded his father, (who had worked with Big Jim Larkin), as a branch secretary of the Worker’s Union of Ireland. Though enlisted in the industrial army, he quickly saw the necessity of involvement in the political arm of the labour movement. That commitment began by his winning a Dublin South Inner City council seat for the Labour Party. It was a path which was to lead him to roles as TD, Lord Mayor of Dublin, MEP, government minister and leader of the Labour Party. Though pragmatic, he was driven by purpose and by his conscience, as Jack O’Connor reminds the reader, “to work for an economy and society anchored in egalitarianism based on social solidarity rather than in the culture of the quick buck”.

    The Jim Kemmy Papers P5 University of Limerick Library and Information Services University of Limerick Special Collections The Jim Kemmy Papers Reference Code: IE 2135 P5 Title: The Jim Kemmy Papers Dates of Creation: 1863-1998 (predominantly 1962-1997) Level of Description: Fonds Extent and Medium: 73 boxes (857 folders) CONTEXT Name of Creator: Kemmy, Seamus (Jim) (1936-1997) Biographical History: Seamus Kemmy, better known as Jim Kemmy, was born in Limerick on 14 September, 1936, as the eldest of five children to Elizabeth Pilkington and stonemason Michael Kemmy. He was educated at the Christian Brothers’ primary school in Sexton Street and in 1952 followed his father into the Ancient Guild of Incorporated Brick and Stonelayers’ Trade Union to commence his five-year apprenticeship. When his father died of tuberculosis in 1955, the responsibility of providing for the family fell onto Kemmy’s shoulders. Having qualified as a stonemason in 1957, he emigrated to England in the hope of a better income. The different social conditions and the freedom of thought and expression he encountered there challenged and changed his traditional Catholic values and opened his eyes to the issues of social injustice and inequality, which he was to stand up against for the rest of his life. In 1960, encouraged by the building boom, Kemmy returned to Ireland and found work on construction sites at Shannon. He also became involved in the Brick and Stonelayers’ Trade Union, and was elected Branch Secretary in 1962. A year later, he joined the Labour Party. Kemmy harboured no electoral ambitions during his early years in politics.

This briefing document is produced as a result of the EAPN Focus on Poverty in Ireland project, which started in December 2006.
