Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (2 Jun 2022)

Colm Burke: Mr. McCarthy might revert to the committee on the matter. I remember research being done on the projects with which I was involved. For example, we found that five years after we had these people in training, more than 70% were in full-time employment. I am concerned about whether we should be doing research in respect of these projects in order to see where we can provide improvements and...

Select Committee on Health: Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (30 Jun 2021)

Colm Burke: ...which Deputy Denis Naughten has set out. It was a case in which a guy transferred a farm to his son. The farm was already in his son's name. Unfortunately, the son committed suicide and the farm reverted to the mother because the father had no remit. She did nothing with the farm; she did not have sufficient time to do anything. She transferred the farm to another son, who did not get...

Colm Burke: ...for their presentation and the work they have done on preparing the report. A lot of hard work has gone into it. It is a very good report in terms of how we can plan for the future.

In the expert panel's investigation and work done, did it find any...

Seanad: Nursing Homes Support Scheme: Statements (3 Oct 2017)

Colm Burke: ...in regard to farms as it is very important. I know of a number of very difficult cases. In one case a farm was left to the son.

Colm Burke: ...a question about the 1,100 designated centres. Of the approximately 9,000 beds, what percentage is provided by the voluntary sector? Have we any idea of that figure?

Many of the witnesses' organisations, a number of which are large, also...

However, one aspect of Mr. Justice Kenny's...

If one has a gradually worsening illness, such as MS, and ends up in a nursing...
