- Prison Committals (5 Oct 2011)
Kathleen Lynch: Effectively, the same issue was raised in the House last week by Deputy Charles Flanagan. The lady in question has been in jail for a few weeks and it seems Deputy Flanagan has been working on the issue. It was made clear when he raised the issue that the Minister for Justice and Equality was not in a position to comment on a particular case before the courts. The comments made then were...

- Prison Committals (5 Oct 2011)
Kathleen Lynch: I take on board Deputy Boyd Barrett's comments regarding the visit and I undertake to follow up on that. This is a case of contempt and I have as much sympathy as anyone for that woman, who had been in prison for several weeks before the matter came before this House. While I have every sympathy for her, it is not possible for the ESB to purge that contempt. This is now an issue between...

- Prison Committals (5 Oct 2011)
Kathleen Lynch: No, it cannot. Every day I am astonished at the level of ignorance. Someone should mediate in respect of this lady because the circumstances in which she finds herself are ridiculous. This should be a matter of mediation and I will take on board Deputy Boyd Barrett's issue regarding the visit and will make inquiries thereon.

Kathleen Lynch: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. There is a slight flaw emerging in the topical issues debate format. The Deputy is speaking about something of which we are all aware. Perhaps we should be concentrating on plans to resolve the issues involved. That is what Members would really like to see, but that is not what we get. I am about to repeat virtually everything the Deputy said,...
- Accident and Emergency Services (5 Oct 2011)
Kathleen Lynch: I will most definitely bring the Deputy's request to the Minister.

As we all know, people can be discharged later in the day once results come back from laboratories. In such...
- Written Answers — Health Services: Health Services (5 Oct 2011)
Kathleen Lynch: I propose to take Questions Nos. 190 and 191 together. The Deputy's questions regarding future services at a home in County Cork and its admission policy are service matters for the Health Service Executive. Accordingly they have been referred to the HSE for direct reply. Requests to meet my colleague Minister Reilly are normally arranged through his Office. Such requests can be made...
