Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by Department of Health Officials (19 May 2020)

John McGuinness: Have the witnesses examined the role of carers in the home and how they are being supported in all of this? The section 39 organisations, which provide services for the mentally and physically challenged clients, were caught for cash and funding before this happened. Has funding been released to those organisations to ensure that they can expand the role that they have, and indeed, support...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by Department of Health Officials (19 May 2020)

John McGuinness: I am sorry to interrupt, but I am watching my time. I asked specifically about the contract, the consultants and their business plans. What is the position on that?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by Department of Health Officials (19 May 2020)

John McGuinness: Can Mr. Breslin deal with the other questions I asked regarding the cancellation of private appointments and the funding for section 39 organisations?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by Department of Health Officials (19 May 2020)

John McGuinness: Could I ask that some of the questions that were not answered, which are particularly relevant to consultants and the operation of their business, be answered in writing?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by Department of Health Officials (19 May 2020)

John McGuinness: Mr. Breslin has not done so. He was very flippant about the consultants, their business plans and how they are going to be written off.

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by HSE Officials (19 May 2020)

John McGuinness: Various consultants who contacted us over the past few weeks have pointed to the fact that the current arrangement with private consultants in private hospitals is inefficient and a waste of taxpayers' money. That could have been done differently, it could have been done better and it could be modified now. Who is giving us a look-back on how this contract has worked up to the point of its...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by HSE Officials (19 May 2020)

John McGuinness: The HSE says it listens to the radiologists and to the cancer services. Like this morning, and it is no fault of our committee or indeed of our witnesses, it is very difficult to get the specific response required. Will the witnesses please look at the transcripts and give us the information arising from the questions that members have asked?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by ICTU, HSA and CIF Representatives on the Reopening of the Construction Industry (19 May 2020)

John McGuinness: I am glad to see Dr. McGuinness and Ms King here and they are very welcome. Mr. Tom Parlon has not lost the knack of slipping into the Government benches so easily, although it is a different kind of combination of Government we have across from us. It would be challenging, I am sure.

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by ICTU, HSA and CIF Representatives on the Reopening of the Construction Industry (19 May 2020)

John McGuinness: Yes. Mr. Parlon is very welcome, anyway. The different actions that have been taken on the various sites will have incurred much cost to the builder or the contractor. How is that going to be covered? Given what Ms King is asking for and what Dr. McGuinness will be overseeing, it is clear to me that there is going to be a huge amount of cost. In terms of the CIF and the contracts that it...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by ICTU, HSA and CIF Representatives on the Reopening of the Construction Industry (19 May 2020)

John McGuinness: I can assume from that that there will be an extra cost, particularly in State contracts, and that is not resolved as yet. A formula must be found to agree this with Government but we can expect something in the region of 5% to 10% or maybe more, depending on the nature of the site. Is that correct?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by ICTU, HSA and CIF Representatives on the Reopening of the Construction Industry (19 May 2020)

Is the legislation robust enough to deal with Covid-19 and what might be found on sites? When is the HSA going to commence inspections - not planned inspections, but random ones?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by ICTU, HSA and CIF Representatives on the Reopening of the Construction Industry (19 May 2020)
