Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Wards of Court: Discussion (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: What about the contingency plan and the commitment given to identifying the cases at risk?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Wards of Court: Discussion (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: This committee is well aware of the changes behind the scenes that are dictating many of these circumstances. Some of the decisions, rulings or opinions expressed in the court reflect the new situation but I do not believe the witnesses should be as defensive as they are. We are making these points not so they can be taken out and shot as a result but to say that the Courts Service has to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Crisis Pregnancy and Primary Care: Irish College of General Practitioners (12 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: Like Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, I believe the fact the witnesses deal with women in the early stages of pregnancy means they are the women's sole carers. This is the time when most abortions take place so their testimony is very important. The circumstances outlined by the witnesses in their contribution tally with the evidence we heard yesterday. The reasons women choose to have an abortion...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Crisis Pregnancy and Primary Care: Irish College of General Practitioners (12 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: Dr. O'Shea may have seen the report in the papers last week from the head of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in the UK. She recommended that nurses and midwives should be able to administer the abortion pill. I presume in an Irish context and in light of what the witness said about the shortage of nurses, it would make perfect sense for somebody to go to a GP. Given...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Crisis Pregnancy and Primary Care: Irish College of General Practitioners (12 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I know the witnesses are here to speak purely from a health perspective. Would it minimise trauma and travel? We were given overwhelming evidence yesterday on the safety of the abortion pill. From a health perspective, it would be a way to minimise some of the harm being done at present.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Crisis Pregnancy and Primary Care: Irish College of General Practitioners (12 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: Are there any other circumstances where the relationship between a patient and doctor is interfered with by the State or where the clinician's hands are tied in the manner in which treatment of pregnant women is?

Other Questions: Child Protection (17 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: 35. To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the status of the 572 adult retrospective reports of abuse that were unallocated by Tusla in June 2017; and if the number of unallocated cases in this category has increased or decreased in the period since June 2017. [43745/17]

Other Questions: Child Protection (17 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: The Minister told me in September that at the end of June, 572 retrospective abuse cases were awaiting allocation. Actions had been taken in respect of just 4% of those cases at that time. At that stage, 70% of cases had been live for at least two months. Does Tusla have any plans for a system-wide approach to change that? What is the status of it now? Are any efforts being made to clear...

Other Questions: Child Protection (17 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I am concerned. We know One In Four recently criticised Tusla's handling of cases sent to it and what it sees as a failure to investigate properly. The Joint Committee on Children and Youth Affairs discussed the matter, in particular Tusla senior management in Laois-Offaly in 2015. Given that many serious issues were flagged around 2015, it is concerning that the number of unallocated...

Other Questions: Child Protection (17 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: That is one way of looking at it. From our dealings with An Garda Síochána, we saw that there was a tendency in some instances to recategorise crimes in order to make them seem less serious than they were. From the point of view of cases classified as high priority, what investigations, if any, have been carried out? I am aware of anecdotal evidence in one or two areas where...
