Máire Devine: I move amendment No. 33:In page 14, line 18, to delete “The Minister” and substitute “The Oireachtas”. As I stated in regard to other amendments, these amendments transfer responsibility from the Minister to the Oireachtas to ensure candidates and board members are satisfactory and have been properly vetted by the Oireachtas. I do not believe it is appropriate...

Seanad: Children's Health Bill 2018: Committee and Remaining Stages (19 Sep 2018)

Máire Devine: I move amendment No. 42:In page 15, line 31, to delete “or a local authority”. I do not see why a member of a local authority would be barred from membership of the board nor do I believe any Member of this House would want that. However, I can understand why there is an exclusion of Members of the Oireachtas and MEPs. As I said, there is a Dublin City Council representative...

Máire Devine: I move amendment No. 45:In page 16, line 16, after “allow” to insert the following:“, with details of the expenses paid out to each Board member to be publicly published after each year”. This again is on "transparency", the word and truth to which we should aspire for this term of the Oireachtas. We have been shocked many times in recent history to hear that...

Seanad: Children's Health Bill 2018: Committee and Remaining Stages (19 Sep 2018)

Máire Devine: I am pressing the amendment. We cannot sit back on our laurels when we have had so much corruption in this country on different boards and involving different CEOs. Anything that will improve that and be seen to improve that is surely in the best interest. I will push it to a vote.

Máire Devine: I move amendment No. 46:In page 16, line 35, to delete “the Minister,” and substitute “the Oireachtas,”. Maybe we will get this one through. These amendments go into two distinct sets.
