- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)
Enda Kenny: I understand that the little boy concerned, Liam, has spent all of his life in Crumlin children's hospital and is now facing into his fourth Christmas there. I would like to confirm a couple of facts for Deputy Martin. Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin has been liaising with Galway University Hospital in regard to the case of little Liam. The HSE has advised that Galway University...
- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)
Enda Kenny: I understand that senior staff at Galway University Hospital are in the process of identifying and recruiting staff so that the child's particular care needs can be delivered much closer to his home in Galway. A home care package application was submitted in March 2012 but it was not followed through as the little boy was deemed medically not fit for discharge shortly after this. I do not...

- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)

- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)

- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)

- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)
Enda Kenny: The question that Deputy Adams asked about top-up payments is the subject of a direction from the Minister for Health to the HSE to deal with this matter, whereby unapproved unauthorised top-up payments that breached the public pay service agreement were paid to certain personnel. The section 38 agencies have been called in before the HSE this week. The Central Remedial Clinic is in before...
- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)
Enda Kenny: Sometimes I wonder from what direction Deputy Adams is approaching the subject. He started off by making a comment and not asking a question.
- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)
Enda Kenny: The statement from Deputy Adams was that every day brings new revelations. If Deputy Adams wants to have a debate about the past, then he should start by clarifying for everyone in the country whether he was a member of the IRA. No one believes him.

- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)
Enda Kenny: I put it to Deputy Adams that the Government is actively pursuing the question of the health service and the issues that have arisen following an audit of the section 38 hospitals and disability agencies. I agree with Deputy Adams that it is scandalous position to expect people to voluntarily give of their direct debits, flag days, voluntary commitment for collections for charities when they...
- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)
Enda Kenny: If we were to follow the logic of Deputy Adams and have another independent inquiry, we would still be inquiring in three or four years' time. The Minister for Health has given a specific instruction to the HSE to call in the section 38 agencies tomorrow. The CRC will be before the Committee of Public Accounts. Does Deputy Adams not believe in the democratic process?
- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)
Enda Kenny: He does. Then, in that case, he should allow the opportunity for the HSE to follow through on the Minister's instructions and engage with these agencies directly to see what is the true situation. The same applies in respect of the CRC with-----

Enda Kenny: -----the personnel there. I have this to say to Deputy Adams: the fact that the CRC has over the years provided an outstanding service to 4,000 people speaks for itself of the value of what it does. The diversion of some of the contributions and some of the opportunities for top-up payments is a matter that is now being examined. As I said before, the Government has made it clear that...
