Planning and Development (Transparency and Consumer Confidence) Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (18 Dec 2013)

Séamus Healy: I commend Deputy Catherine Murphy on drafting the legislation and presenting it to the Dáil last night and tonight. It is well thought out and demonstrates an in-depth knowledge and practical experience of planning issues. The Deputy has gained that experience over a life of service to communities in the Kildare area, including dealings with planning authorities, community and...

Public Service Management (Recruitment and Appointments)(Amendment) Bill 2013: Instruction to Committee (resumed) (12 Dec 2013)

Vote 39 - Health Service Executive (Supplementary)
(12 Dec 2013)

Séamus Healy: I apologise, Chairman, as I had to leave after my initial contribution. I asked for figures on agency costs for non-consultant hospital doctors and nurses. I know the Minister does not have the figures with him but I ask him to send them on.

Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2013
Vote 39 - Health Service Executive (Supplementary)
(12 Dec 2013)

Séamus Healy: Okay. I hope I will get those figures. I have been told that the agency cost of non-consultant hospital doctors in particular is significant.

Vote 39 - Health Service Executive (Supplementary)
(12 Dec 2013)

Séamus Healy: Last year, there was a supplementary estimate in the region of €300 million. This year, it amounts to €199 million. This immediately raises the question as to the adequacy of the initial budgets, whether these budgets were deliberately understated and whether the service was deliberately under-funded. Although we cannot speak about next year, we have very serious concerns...

Leaders' Questions (11 Dec 2013)

Séamus Healy: That is a mean and shameful reply. However, those are not my words. Those are the words of Deputy Eamon Gilmore, leader of the Labour Party, when he addressed a question on Leaders' Questions to a former Taoiseach who had abolished that bonus:This payment has been made to pensioners every year for 30 years, even in some of the country’s most difficult economic years ... for the first...
