Kate O'Connell: My question is as follows. Let us say I have a crèche and Deputy Aylward has a crèche next door. Deputy Aylward is operating a completely private crèche. Mine is a community crèche and I have tax exemption. In the mornings, I operate ECCE for the three hours but I also take cheques from parents for later in the day. Is the income over and above the State payments...

Kate O'Connell: Could Deputy Aylward's private crèche apply for advancement of education as a reason to get tax exemption if he operates the Montessori method?

Kate O'Connell: It is important to highlight this issue. If there is charitable status for whatever reason in one childcare facility and another person up the road is operating a legitimate business and it is pretty much accepted that there is not that much margin in childcare - obviously big companies seem to be making a margin, but smaller providers-----

Kate O'Connell: These people are providing a legitimate and needed support service for families. Perhaps a lad down the road has a community crèche but has a body of income coming from the private sector and that exemption covers that income. I know that it obviously needs to be used, but I find one will always find a way to spend money if one needs to. Perhaps this committee will have a look at it....

Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2019)

Kate O'Connell: I thank the Minister of State for coming here today. One of the matters raised by consultant representative bodies when coming before the committee is the lack of training posts. As a result of the loss of experienced medical people to other jurisdictions and the reliance on locums, we now have the potential for a legacy issue as approximately half our non-hospital consultant doctors are...

Kate O'Connell: The question was about how we address the future and the Minister of State has answered that in terms of the staff issue and that is what I am concerned about. Does he have any solutions to offer on the issue of the State Claims Agency and the expensive bill for same?

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)

Kate O'Connell: At the outset I wish to state that I have been a long-term supporter of the children's hospital and of locating it on the St. James's Hospital site. My support has been based on the recommendation of a tri-located model with the capacity to include a maternity hospital and an adult hospital on the site. This will mean children can be born and transferred while women who have babies do not...

Kate O'Connell: After this it definitely will be. We will give Ms Hardiman an honorary title. Once I committed myself to studying all the information I was convinced that this was the right place to put the hospital. I was given a document at the Oireachtas Committee on Health about four years ago. It stated that about 75% of the patient cohort came from the greater Dublin area. I do not care what...
