Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Colm Burke: Overall, in relation to the projects the Department has for arts, are the witnesses satisfied we are doing enough work in that area? We have many facilities in which no major work has occurred for many years. Are there other projects whose delivery the Department can prioritise at this stage? We have come through ten years in which little work was done because of lack of funding. Are...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Jun 2023)
Colm Burke: Deputy Hourigan mentioned something to me. It appears that I raised this issue on 5 October 2022 when the Department and the board were before the Joint Committee on Health. I asked a specific question about theatres because I was on the board of a hospital where we ran into problems with a theatre being completed. Reading the debate of that committee meeting is interesting, as the answer...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Jun 2023)
Colm Burke: I will quote what I asked them: "At what stage is the development of the 22 operating theatres?" Mr. Phelim Devine replied: The theatres are all constructed. All of the walls have been double-sided and nearly all the services are in, including the lead lining. The ceilings within the theatres are being finished and the pendant supports are all in. The next phase will be to install the...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Jun 2023)
Colm Burke: No, but the Chair might read the reply to the questions I asked. I asked them because of a specific problem I had encountered on the board of the South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital, where there had been a delay of more than 12 months in getting a piece of equipment. That is why I was specific in my questions. I was not aware of the ventilation issue – it was not raised at...
- Select Committee on Health: Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2023)
Colm Burke: My point is that with the turnover of staff in hospitals, especially in the training hospitals with junior staff in, I am not sure whether they have the required backup support in many cases as regards advice on this issue. One of the issues I have seen on a few occasions is where people have contacted me who have been unhappy about the way the matter was dealt with. I wonder about the...

- Select Committee on Health: Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2023)
Colm Burke: I think the Minister would accept that is a problem. For instance, last year we issued 305,000 new PPS numbers to people from 202 different countries. That shows us the scale of the change that is occurring here, with people coming in from abroad. If there is a tragedy, it is about which immediate family members to contact and ensuring we have adequate structures in place to deal with that...

Colm Burke: I thank the Minister. This is comprehensive legislation. On the issue of communication, in particular between people in the hospital structure, between coroners, and all those involved when a person dies. one of the issues in that respect regarding the hospital structure is that the people at the coalface are junior doctors in a lot of cases. I am not sure whether there is a proper...
- Select Committee on Health: Message to Dáil (21 Jun 2023)
Colm Burke: I thank the Minister and the officials, and all the people who backed the legislation. I have been on the health committee since 2011. This issue has come up on a number of occasions over the ten or 11 years. It is a very welcome development. It is about having a proper structure in place but it is also important is that we have proper back-up support for people on the front line dealing...
