Paschal Donohoe: Sure, I accept that. It is important to the discussion - it has not been done to date - to acknowledge the significant progress made in dealing with this issue since we met last.

Paschal Donohoe: I also acknowledge the significant progress on deficit performance, which is markedly different from what we have heard in other meetings. Progress has been made in that regard as well. We had a discussion on the allocation of patients to nursing homes and the prioritisation decision made, which has been outlined. How long will that decision be maintained?

Paschal Donohoe: The witness is anticipating that the original decision made for a three-week window will probably be enough.

Paschal Donohoe: My colleague, Deputy Dowds, touched on promotional activity and there has been a discussion about below the counter and above the counter pricing. I have no experience of this in the pharmaceutical industry but I do have significant experience of the practice in the supply of goods to retailers. If we are not tracking it at our end in how the State purchases goods, does it not mean that the...

Paschal Donohoe: It is true in most cases anyway. The manufacturer will supply the goods to the distributor. If there is promotional activity going on to influence the price at which the distributor buys the goods, the margin the distributor is receiving off the price at which the State is buying the goods is significantly enhanced. That is the case if the goods are being received at a promotional or...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Official Engagements (30 Apr 2013)

Paschal Donohoe: 13. To ask the Taoiseach if he will detail his engagements at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos; and if he will outline the way these meetings will contribute towards our economic recovery. [20170/13]

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Official Engagements (30 Apr 2013)

Paschal Donohoe: I have three questions on the Taoiseach's engagement in Davos. The first relates to changes taking place in other countries with regard to corporation tax rates and the taxes levied on businesses. Were the investors to whom the Taoiseach spoke asking questions about our plans for the future, recognising that the environment in which we operate is getting more competitive by the month? My...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Economic and Monetary Union: Discussion (Resumed) with Central Bank (30 Apr 2013)

Paschal Donohoe: I thank Professor Honohan for his attendance. I have three questions following on from Professor Honohan's contribution. He made the point that supervision and resolution need to be placed at the same level and that if this does not happen, there will be a question of lack of equilibrium from a political economy point of view. My question is whether supervision and resolution at...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Economic and Monetary Union: Discussion (Resumed) with Central Bank (30 Apr 2013)

Paschal Donohoe: The difference between Microsoft and a bank, in particular a large one, is the issue of systemic importance to an economy. I think somebody said banks lived globally but died locally. Let us say we reach this point again, that by that stage the ESM is able to directly recapitalise banks and that the people running it make the decision that before it can directly capitalise banks, the Irish...

Housing (Amendment) Bill 2013: Second Stage (2 May 2013)

Paschal Donohoe: I begin by continuing on some of the themes Deputy Sean Fleming mentioned. I strongly agree with his point about people living in one area for a period of time and then moving to another local authority, which is often an adjacent area. They find that their positions on the housing list change radically. I most often hear of such cases, sadly, in the event of a family break-up or...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (2 May 2013)

Paschal Donohoe: I would prefer if we heard all of the opening statements together. Each of us could then choose the areas we wanted to discuss. My understanding is that the Dublin Docklands Development Authority is moving to Dublin City Council and that, as the current city manager, he has had responsibility for that area. I would like to know whether, once he finishes at the council, he will continue to...
