Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)

With regard to accountability and open disclosure, my views and the views of my party on Mr. O'Brien's position are well known and have been well ventilated over a long period of time and I do not propose to rehearse them here. When we were at the committee meeting last week, Mr. O'Brien told us he found out from...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Before I ask my questions, I want to refer to the posters that went up in the Minister's constituency yesterday, as we all saw in the media.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Under the law, consultants are perfectly entitled to be recruited on contracts of indefinite duration from the start. My sense is that there is no plan.
