Management of Medical Negligence (22 Nov 2018)

Catherine Connolly: My final question has two completely different parts. One will be for Mr. Connaghan. According to the Comptroller and Auditor General's report, there will be an updated report by the end of the year, as the last update in the database only took us to 2013. Is that on time?

Management of Medical Negligence (22 Nov 2018)

Catherine Connolly: I have a general question on learning. We have gone to great effort and people's lives have been affected. Generally, we sit here every week and try to prevent events from happening and to get our heads around liability. Everyone has a right to go to court, but various incidents lead up to such situations. Coincidentally, we were to discuss and learn from the report on Portiuncula...

Management of Medical Negligence (22 Nov 2018)

Catherine Connolly: I am being specific and parochial, but this has major implications for learning. If there is a notifiable disease in Galway, as I have been informed, and staff contract it, and if I then ask a question about it, I will be told that a review will be carried out in the future. I have read the opening statements from Mr. Connaghan and the Department. When an event happens, it should be a case...

Management of Medical Negligence (22 Nov 2018)

Catherine Connolly: No, I do not want any more documents. I have read so many documents with my colleagues, I cannot go on half the time. I want to know about implementation. I have cited two specific examples where there are large gaps. We are learning retrospectively after a significant cost, including €54 million for two tribunals not to mention all the others. We do not seem to be learning, which...

Catherine Connolly: If there is no confidentiality clause, it is amazing because, for the redress board and all the applicants who went forward, it is an offence for their legal team or themselves to disclose what they got. I never accepted that. That is interesting. It is an offence to disclose.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Local Authority Funding (27 Nov 2018)

Catherine Connolly: The matter being raised my colleagues and I is the urgent need to provide adequate funding and resources to both local authorities in Galway. I will not voice my opinion but refer to the interim reports from the expert group whose recommendation on the amalgamation of the authorities the Minister of State, Deputy Phelan, accepted, although he failed examine the recommendations to increase...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Local Authority Funding (27 Nov 2018)

Catherine Connolly: 6 o’clock I welcome constructive engagement at any level but at this stage we need action. It was the Government's own expert group and it is acting on a recommendation that asked for a transition director. It did not ask for a joint CEO. The Minister of State is acting on that but he is not acting on the clear findings that both local authorities have been significantly...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (27 Nov 2018)

Catherine Connolly: I had not intended to speak but having listened to some of the debate, I believe we have no choice. We have a duty to speak out when the same narrative is given over and over again. The last speaker captured it. This is a serious attempt to undermine and go backwards. While I have the greatest respect for the very hard-working Deputy who tabled this amendment, I cannot agree with it....
