Fidelma Healy Eames: Reading the report of the young woman who lost her life in Galway hospital, I am deeply disturbed. It is a huge trauma to be visited upon a family and it is a tragedy. We should not make judgments or assessments until we have the full facts to hand. We do not know where that failure arose and we need to establish where failure was. The people of Ireland voted that the life of the mother...

Fidelma Healy Eames: Will other new measures be taken? I wish to follow through on this issue, if possible. It is useful that the percentage of finishers in respect of the JobBridge programme stands at 52%. However, many of them are not continuing and while there may have been 10,000 starters, this does not mean there were 5,000 finishers. What other new initiatives of that nature are being considered? For...
