Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Collapse of Setanta Insurance: Central Bank and Department of Finance (9 Jul 2014)

Ciara Conway: It relates to European-wide regulation. I understand what has been said and that we have been to the fore in trying to influence practice, but given what the European markets have been through in the past few years, it is staggering that regulators do not yet interact with each other. How many other insurance companies like Setanta Insurance are there in Ireland? I understand most...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Minister for Health (10 Jul 2014)

Ciara Conway: I want to focus in particular on Question No. 38, on the cardiology department of University Hospital Waterford. The Minister knows we have spoken about this at length. Unfortunately, there are now headlines in the local newspapers referring to a cardiac crisis. Services have been suspended for one or two afternoons per week in the hospital. This directly contradicts what I was told on 13...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Minister for Health (10 Jul 2014)

Ciara Conway: With all due respect, Dr. O'Connell is reading out what he has given me in writing. I want to know what is happening to ensure we address the issue. I want him to address the fact that the limited service we currently have will be closed for two afternoons per week for the rest of the summer and all day on 13 August for maintenance during service time. If it only operates on a 9-to-5...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Minister for Health (10 Jul 2014)

Ciara Conway: The service has ceased. It is a very serious issue. There is no dermatology service in Waterford, with the highest level of skin care demand in the country. I was told by the Minister and Professor Higgins that during the establishment of the hospital groups patients would not be required to travel as the consultants would go to where the need was. Why are consultants not coming from Cork...

Topical Issue Debate: JobsPlus Scheme (15 Jul 2014)

Ciara Conway: I want to address improvements needed in the JobsPlus scheme, a worthy Government scheme that was launched to great fanfare in my constituency of Waterford last year. Many exciting companies participate in the scheme and speak highly of it, including Eishtec, a locally-owned Waterford company. It encourages and rewards employers that employ jobseekers from the live register. It is designed...

Topical Issue Debate: JobsPlus Scheme (15 Jul 2014)

Ciara Conway: I thank the Minister. The Tánaiste's response as outlined became more positive as it went on. Perhaps allowing a jobseeker's transitional payment recipient to be eligible for JobsPlus is very welcome. Given the Government's thrust towards activation and trying to upskill, educate and motivate people to re-engage in working and seeking work, nobody taking the opportunities afforded to...
