Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: HIQA Investigation into Midland Regional Hospital, Portlaoise (Resumed): Parents and Patient Advocates (19 May 2015)

Lucinda Creighton: I thank all the witnesses for their clear evidence to the joint committee. I am caught somewhere between being utterly depressed and very inspired by the commitment, tenacity and sheer doggedness of the witnesses in pursuing this on behalf of their babies. I have two questions. Mark and Róisín spoke about the report that was conducted about baby Mark. Other reports were...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: HIQA Investigation into Midland Regional Hospital, Portlaoise (Resumed): Health Service Executive (19 May 2015)

Lucinda Creighton: I thank the Chairman and members. I do not often beg indulgence but I appreciate it. I am anxious to ask one or two questions of Mr. O'Brien. We were told today by the parents of two babies who died in Portlaoise that the HSE management is clearly incapable and cannot be trusted. They told us that information was deliberately suppressed, as were known red flags. The story goes on and on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: HIQA Investigation into Midland Regional Hospital, Portlaoise (Resumed): Health Service Executive (19 May 2015)

Lucinda Creighton: The first item on the agenda was baby Mark Molloy and the reporting relationship. No minutes of the meeting are available but it is documented and it did occur. How can Mr. O'Brien say that he is not responsible, that he was not there and that he had nothing to do with it? We know that other deaths occurred in 2013 after these appeals by the Molloys to Mr. O'Brien as director general of...

Order of Business (27 May 2015)

Order of Business (27 May 2015)

Lucinda Creighton: As the Ceann Comhairle is aware, there is an attempt to silence Members of this House, as reported in newspapers over the weekend. It is an attempt to silence not only Deputy Catherine Murphy but all Members of the House. It is extremely important that democracy and free speech are defended. The Taoiseach should make his defence of the right of Members to speak freely and openly without...

Topical Issue Debate: Miscarriages of Justice (27 May 2015)

Lucinda Creighton: I am disappointed the Minister has not shown up to the Chamber for this debate. As the House will be aware, on 1 April the Department of Justice and Equality released on its website a press statement announcing the Minister’s intention to grant a posthumous pardon to Mr. Harry Gleeson, a man executed at the hands of the State on 23 April 1941 for the murder of Mrs. Mary McCarthy, a...

Topical Issue Debate: Miscarriages of Justice (27 May 2015)

Lucinda Creighton: I thank the Minister of State for coming to the House and providing remarks on behalf of the Minister for Justice and Equality. However, it is frustrating that I cannot get any satisfaction on the points I raised because the Minister is not here to speak. I assume she has intimate knowledge of this, which I do not expect the Minister of State, in fairness, to have. There is one...

Aer Lingus Share Disposal: Motion (Resumed) (28 May 2015)

Lucinda Creighton: I do not agree with much of what Deputy Noel Grealish has said, but I am in complete agreement about the contempt that has been shown to the House in how this matter has been handled over the past couple of days. It is unfortunate that there is no opportunity to engage in a proper and full question and answer session with the Minister. The matter should go to the Joint Committee on...

Draft Commission of Investigation (Certain matters concerning transactions entered into by IBRC) Order 2015: Motion (9 Jun 2015)

Lucinda Creighton: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this matter of some public concern and absolute public interest. I welcome the announcement of a commission of inquiry, but I am disappointed at the way in which the Government has gone about forming the terms of reference, particularly the fact that there has been so little regard for the serious concerns raised by members of the Opposition, including...
