Jim Daly: I have a couple of questions. Dr. Muldoon and I have discussed in previous conversations the Ombudsman for Children's role and remit in the education sector. I will leave that issue for another time because the Committee on Education and Skills will probably have hearings on education at some point. Could legislators assist the Ombudsman for Children by extending the powers or remit of...

Jim Daly: I thank all the Deputies who have contributed constructively to the debate. It was a very interesting - Deputy John Lahart used the word provocative - debate and it certainly is so on a number of levels. These issues are not the easiest to deal with. We all probably agree what are the problems but we need to identify how we can solve them and put forward a solution. This Bill was before...

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Future of Health Care (Resumed): Dr. Stephen Kinsella (14 Sep 2016)

Perhaps the witness could indicate whether that is a big stumbling block in the area of...
