Select Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 33 - Culture, Communications and Sport (Further Revised)
(15 Oct 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I welcome the Minister. I will stick to sport. I welcome the announcement in the budget for the grassroots funding. We all do. That was reflected when the committee wrote to the Minister, despite the issues we had with the FAI at the time. Specifically to the LSSIF, I understand there was a minimal amount of €18 million sent to the LSSIF to keep it rolling over. I have some...

Select Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 33 - Culture, Communications and Sport (Further Revised)
(15 Oct 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: Deputy Malcolm Byrne has mentioned in the past a programme for the arts that would be similar to the sports capital grant. Is there any progress on that or when are we likely to see it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Rare Diseases: Discussion (15 Oct 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I welcome all the witnesses. I appreciate the debate up until now. I know Professor Barry has a very difficult job. I have no doubt he has seen a lot of parliamentary questions from the likes of Deputy Burke and me over the years. We understand he has a difficult role and it is a role he tries his best to perform diligently. It has been interesting listening to the past half hour of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Rare Diseases: Discussion (15 Oct 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: Section 18(2) of the Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical Goods) Act 2013 mandates decisions within 180 days, but it is my understanding that the manufacturer slot, that is, the period from EMA approval to application stage, is not included in that requirement under legislation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Rare Diseases: Discussion (15 Oct 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: It is not a requirement under the legislation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Rare Diseases: Discussion (15 Oct 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: For the benefit of people listening in, that is not a requirement under the health Act. I will ask Professor Postma a question because his line is coming and going. Under the WAIT report of 2024, Ireland approved 13 OMPs. Can I ask Professor Postma what the comparative figure was in Netherlands?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Rare Diseases: Discussion (15 Oct 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: Following on from Deputy Clarke's comments earlier and part of the submission from Professor Postma, there is a debate about having a clinically orientated or an economically orientated model. Where would our guests say the Irish model falls if they were to define it one way or the other?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Rare Diseases: Discussion (15 Oct 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I am not trying to pigeonhole the professor one way or the other, but on a scale where 1 is the economic orientation of the model and 10 is the clinical orientation, where is it skewed?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Rare Diseases: Discussion (15 Oct 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: Close enough to the middle, I suppose. I read Ms McGrath's presentation. She said that in an ideal world, we would have access to OMPs in Ireland within 12 months of EMA authorisation. Is that realistic?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Rare Diseases: Discussion (15 Oct 2025)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Rare Diseases: Discussion (15 Oct 2025)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Rare Diseases: Discussion (15 Oct 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: What is Professor Barry's view on an early access scheme? Patients want it. Is it something we can deliver? Under the programme for Government, the Minister has commenced an investigation into it. Is it something that can be done here and what would it look like?

Pádraig O'Sullivan: 119. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his Department will consider designating authorised officer status to the inspectors an organisation (details supplied) given currently the organisation handles far higher equine volumes than any other organisation in Ireland and lack of authorised officer status creates delays in seizures, prevents lawful statutory evidence...

Financial Resolutions 2025 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (9 Oct 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I agree with what Deputy Timmins has said. I will fire a shot across the bows of the Opposition because no one has bothered to turn up tonight. When people are watching this on TV at home Opposition Deputies are the first people to point the finger when the benches are a bit light on this side of the House. Their absence is either an endorsement of the budget or they could not be bothered...
