Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Prevention and Treatment of Lyme Disease: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: I ask the witnesses to intervene if my questions have been asked by previous speakers. I was struck by the differences between the figures provided by Dr. Bonner and Dr. Cryan on the number of patients who were diagnosed with Lyme disease last year. Will the witnesses explain the difference between their figures? Both Dr. Bonner and Dr. Cryan suggested that Lyme disease is underdiagnosed....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Prevention and Treatment of Lyme Disease: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: I have two further questions arising from the delegates' responses to my earlier questions. Lest Dr. Cryan thought I was insinuating anything about the calibre of any person, I was not. I apologise if that impression was given; I was only trying to tease something out. Dr. Cryan has stated that in the case of 30% of the tests carried out the results are negative. Is there a common...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Prevention and Treatment of Lyme Disease: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: Notwithstanding the arrows being thrown around with regard to particular institutions, how would one conduct a test for Lyme disease if there were no antibodies? The witnesses have spent the past number of hours explaining that one will get a diagnosis if one is testing for the disease itself or the body's reaction to antibodies. How can somebody go to Timbuktu and get tested and receive a...

Order of Business (14 Jan 2015)

Regina Doherty: When does the Taoiseach expect the Employment Equality (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill to be passed by the Dáil? It appears to be stuck on Committee Stage.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Accident and Emergency Departments: Department of Health and Health Service Executive (15 Jan 2015)

Regina Doherty: I thank the witness for the presentation. Every time the Minister has spoken in recent weeks he has been very careful to say that it is not always about money. However, with the exception of one, all of the things he has done and that he has said have worked in recent weeks have required money. The only thing I can find that does not require money is that section in Mr. O'Brien's speech on...

I congratulate Ms Courtney and thank her as I acknowledge it must be difficult to attend today. I do not know whether the witnesses can answer my...

Housing Affordability: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (28 Jan 2015)

Regina Doherty: Like the previous speaker, given the boom and bust cycle of the past decade, it is essential that we learn from the mistakes of the past with a view to protecting families across the country and safeguarding the financial rebound that is currently taking place. The stagnation we saw in the housing market and construction sector is irrefutably the result of years of maladministration by...
