Leaders' Questions (8 Mar 2017)

Catherine Connolly: There are outstanding issues regarding equal pay and bodily integrity. There was a strike today outside Leinster House over the remaining issues related to Repeal the Eighth. Domestic violence issues are costing the economy €2.5 billion a year. Instead, on this special day we find ourselves once again discussing how the State has misused and mistreated the women of Ireland. Prior...

Leaders' Questions (8 Mar 2017)

Catherine Connolly: Ireland’s past shame is its present shame. I am not sure if the Taoiseach is completely and utterly out of his depth or that he just sticks to prepared scripts. I do not know what the issue is. I have not asked the Taoiseach anything about a coroner or the Garda. I specifically asked him about publishing an interim report that his Minister has had since September last year. She...

Commission of Investigation Announcement on Tuam Mother and Baby Home: Statements (9 Mar 2017)

Catherine Connolly: Why has the interim report not been published? If we are going to learn anything, it is to show respect. The Minister spoke about respect and dignity and I appreciate her bona fides. However, she published a report about the Tuam home last Friday without talking to any of the survivor organisations. No explanation has been given as to why this interim report, which the Minister has had...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2017)

Catherine Connolly: Can I see that correspondence?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2017)

Catherine Connolly: On the private session, it might be appropriate to clarify whether a session is ever private in due course.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2017)

Catherine Connolly: Absolutely. It is an issue we should come back to. I agree it should be in private session but there is no such thing apparently.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2017)

Catherine Connolly: We might come back to that.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2017)

Catherine Connolly: As Deputy McDonald indicated, the committee asked for a breakdown of the staff. Moreover, some staff kept their jobs. How was the decision made to transfer and retain some staff? Responsibility for what occurred in Console lies with senior management of the organisation. It would be interesting to obtain a breakdown showing which personnel remained in employment when they were transferred...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2017)

Catherine Connolly: As someone who attends on a regular basis, I would have no difficulty with that, but it is impossible to keep this pace up and people have not attended other extra meetings. Theoretically, it is wonderful. In practice, it is difficult. Deputies are attending other meetings. We are running in and out. Let us be realistic. We have given it our all to produce the report on Project Eagle....

Public Accounts Committee: HSE's Patients' Private Property Accounts 2015
HSE Financial Statement 2015: Note 13 re Fair Deal Scheme
Health Repayments Scheme Donations Fund 2015 (9 Mar 2017)

Catherine Connolly: I agree with the Chairman's ruling. It is right in relation to fair procedures - end of story. It seems to me that the terms of reference cannot be set today. Very serious allegations and issues were raised by Deputy McDonald and others in the Dáil and it would not be right for the Dáil to conclude terms of reference in a vacuum.
