- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Jun 2014)
Áine Collins: That is agreed but I have one further request. In the letter received from Ms English, she said senior counsel advice to the Committee of Public Accounts is necessary to see what our remit is but she said she would prefer to wait until after the compellability issue is resolved. Would it be possible to run all three together?

- Mental Health Services: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (2 Jul 2014)
Áine Collins: Over the years, we have been trying to deal with many and various injustices of the past, issues like child abuse, mother and children homes, and the Magdalen Laundries. As a society our attitude towards mental health has been appalling. We stigmatised people with mental health problems and in many cases committed them to institutional care. Care was not the motivation. We simply locked...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Áine Collins: The witnesses are all welcome this afternoon. In particular, I thank Mr. Hamilton Goulding for his attendance and for being so open and honest. I wish him the best of luck in whatever ventures to which he goes. I also wish Mr. Timmins and Ms Manahan the best of luck in the CRC, and it is to be hoped this episode can soon be put behind us all. I wish to ask Mr. John Cregan a question on...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Áine Collins: Yes, but getting to the salary recommended by the HSE would have reduced it again. Moreover, in line with the fact that the employment arrangement was with the CRC, as opposed to the HSE-----

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Áine Collins: I accept that public pay must be reduced across all the organisations and so on. However, does Mr. Cregan not think it would make far more sense for the HSE to work with these organisations and their boards to try to help them get to a stage where this can happen?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Áine Collins: Had the HSE engaged with the CRC beforehand, as in appointing someone to help the clinic to manage the process that needed to be reached?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Áine Collins: That is not what I asked. My point is that all of this happened in 2009. I accept that what happened before then was all different. However, the HSE was put in place and a big change happened in 2009 in respect of how these organisations were to be run and what their public pay, which was to be brought into line, was to be. However it appears as though this decision was made and the...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Áine Collins: I accept that and I accept it was unfortunate that this did not happen. However, I am trying to get to an overall point with regard to what we are trying to do here. The section 38 organisations per sedo a great deal of good work on the ground and the people they help, as well as their families, probably are the most vulnerable in society. I accept a stage must be reached where public pay...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Áine Collins: With all due respect, I was not for a minute saying that. My point is that Mr. Cregan is implementing the policy that has been designed, and it is his job to do that, but in order to get to where we all need to get to on this - I understand from what Ms McGuinness stated earlier that another 60 of them are still outside of where they need to be - it seems that these organisations should get...
