It was clear from proceedings at the first public meeting of the 8th Committee, some of the members were not at all familiar with the Citizens Assembly report, nor had viewed the CA materials in any meangiful way. All members of this committee have a responsibility to the people of Ireland, particularly those who can become pregnant, to be aware of all the medical information, legal argument, facts and personal stories that were presented to the CA. Many of those that stood up and spoke at the CA did so at great personal cost, in order ensure that the full impact of the 8th amendment would become public knowledge, for the repercussions and nuances to be explored fully. They gave up their time and their privacy so that future generations would no longer have to live under such barbaric law. It was quite clear yesterday that some members of the 8th Committee, when asking very obvious questions, or making grand and often incorrect assumptions, had not engaged with the CA material. It is insulting to all those who made representations to the CA. It is insulting to all members of the CA who gave up so much of their personal time to actively listen to all of those who spoke. It is insulting to the members of the committee who have engaged. It is insulting to all of us who are having to rely on our elected representatives, the legislators of this country, to decide our fate. We ask those that have yet to engage with the CA materials, to do so immediately and that you treat the issue with the respect and attention it deserves.

Taoiseach, A chara, Minister Donnelly, A chara, We ask you to reinstate an independent Board to oversee the delivery of Sláintecare and allow it to drive the program of Sláintecare in its original vision and spirit as the all party deliverable it is. We ask you as Taoiseach & Minister for health of this country, to stand up to the resistance to change within Government Departments and the HSE. We ask you to prioritise and put in place independent oversight of senior management in both the HSE and Department of Health. We ask you to urgently and proactively enable the Sláintecare board, the HSE & the Department of Health to adequately resource hospitals with consultants and communities with GPs and GPNs. Resolve the pay issue for consultants and engage with GPs & Dentists to develop a relevant contract and support structure that will save primary care and enable continuity of care to patients. We ask you to acknowledge that there is a crisis, healthcare workers are burnt out, they are leaving the country and their profession in alarming numbers. We are waiting unable to access the care we need. We are all patients, we are out of patience, we revolt. We ask you to act.
