- Joint Committee On Health: Impacts of Covid-19 on Youth Mental Health and Psychological Services: Discussion (6 Jul 2021)
Martin Conway: I will always acknowledge Deputy Buckley's passion. He is a strong advocate and never gives up. I thank him for that. Do any members have supplementary questions that they would like to put to our guests? No. I agree with much of what Deputy Buckley said. Everyone is trying to achieve a common goal. I found the survey to be of particular interest. What was especially insightful...
- Joint Committee On Health: Impacts of Covid-19 on Youth Mental Health and Psychological Services: Discussion (6 Jul 2021)
Martin Conway: That is great. Community radio is embedded within communities in inner cities and rural areas. I come from County Clare, where there are two effective community radio stations - Raidió Corca Baiscinn in west Clare and a radio station in the Scarriff area in east Clare. Regarding the issues raised by CARE, there is clearly a major problem, one that has been discussed widely at this...

Martin Conway: I thank Mr. Chambers. At this point, we have had a phenomenal exchange of views. I thank the witnesses for their clear and concise articulation of the problems. We all had an understanding that there were issues but hearing it clearly and concisely, with backup examples, is certainly extremely useful from this committee's perspective. I thank CARE for its six recommendations....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Martin Conway: On a point of order, I wish to point out that the answers to the questions put by Deputy Cullinane have been nothing short of disgraceful.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Martin Conway: It is pointless to come in. There are no answers to questions at all this morning. It is just disgraceful.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Martin Conway: I acknowledge Mr. Gunning for providing the information to Deputy Cullinane's earlier question during the meeting. It was a failure of his senior management team in not providing him with that information before he came in front of the committee on this issue. I acknowledge the fact that the information was provided. I will ask Mr. Gunning about his senior management team. Does he have...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Martin Conway: There would usually be an individual who co-ordinates in that regard.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Martin Conway: That is fine. There is a risk management programme within the senior management team and the various components of this project.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Martin Conway: Part of the assessment and analysis of the risk involved would have been to park dealing with claims until such time as the hospital is built. Did that recommendation come from those in the risk management section? Were they happy with it or did they have an issue with it? What was their approach?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Martin Conway: Did anyone within the risk management process raise a flag that postponing the final determination and outcome of the 900 claims could be a risky strategy?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Martin Conway: When is this phase expected to finish such that the board could start dealing with claims on a real-time basis?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Martin Conway: I accept the motivation behind that and it is admirable. We all want to see the hospital completed. Have the components of the risk management team conducted an analysis to show what the exposure to the taxpayer would be should the board not succeed in defending all 900 claims or most of them?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Martin Conway: What I am looking for is the worst-case scenario.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
