Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Lisa Chambers: Is Professor Kilkelly saying the presenting of findings and recommendations to staff, management and the board did not happen at all?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Lisa Chambers: Was there engagement with staff members and the board throughout the process to get feedback on how things were going? A first draft was presented. Professor Kilkelly says there were factual inaccuracies. Were they addressed before the second draft was presented?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Lisa Chambers: Professor Kilkelly told Deputy Sherlock that an opportunity had been given to those who had been implicated in the report to interact with and give feedback to the reviewers. Did that satisfy point No. 4 in the process before the report was finalised?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Lisa Chambers: Did the board raise these concerns with the reviewers and tell them that it did not want them to finalise the report until after the feedback session in the format it wanted?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Lisa Chambers: Had the feedback session occurred, would it have changed the report's findings substantially?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Lisa Chambers: Yes, but my point-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Lisa Chambers: Was there an expectation at the outset that the report would be complimentary of the facility?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Lisa Chambers: The intention was good. To be fair to the two professors, they dispute Professor Kilkelly's interpretation of how the process worked. They say they engaged all the way through, were open and willing to change and interact, welcomed feedback and wanted to engage with staff and the board. They have a different interpretation and presented that evidence to the committee. If the only issue...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Lisa Chambers: What happened in the month from the end of February 2017, when the board had the final report, to the end of March when it decided to seek independent legal advice? Who had sight of the report and flagged that there were issues on which the board might have to receive legal advice? Did Professor Kilkelly decide or did the board make the call collectively? Did the Minister-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Lisa Chambers: Did the staff implicated have sight of the report and come to the board to raise concerns? Did the board then decide that legal advice was necessary? What prompted the seeking of legal advice?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Lisa Chambers: We do not know the extent of the legal advice received as it has not been published. I see no reason it should not be, as it is not the Attorney General's advice. The board received independent legal advice. Will it publish that advice?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Lisa Chambers: It is necessary. Whatever about the Attorney General's advice not being published, for which there is a precedent, Professor Kilkelly is asking us to take a leap of faith and trust that we would come to the same interpretation as the board of the other advice received. I see no good reason it should not be published, even in redacted form, if it references specific parts of the report that...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (31 Jan 2019)

Lisa Chambers: Regarding the CervicalCheck scandal that broke last week, I tabled a parliamentary question to ask how many women will get a notification to return for a repeat smear test. The reply I received today asked me to clarify whether I was referring to the small number in 2018 or whether I wanted to get the numbers for 2015. I would think it was pretty obvious I was looking for last year's...

To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the steps he is taking to resolve the PAYE crisis that teachers are facing as a result of an information technology problem in the payroll section of his Department; the length of time they will have to wait for it to be resolved; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cancer Screening Programmes (5 Feb 2019)

Lisa Chambers: 51. To ask the Minister for Health the number of women who have received a notification asking them to take another smear test in view of the fact their original one was made unreliable as a result of being delayed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5255/19]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cancer Screening Programmes (5 Feb 2019)

Lisa Chambers: How many women have received a notification asking them to take another smear test in the light of the fact that an original test was made unreadable or unreliable as a result of a delay arising because of the CervicalCheck scandal? The Minister made a political promise last May to extend free smear testing and it resulted in 84,000 additional and unscheduled smear tests being added to a...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cancer Screening Programmes (5 Feb 2019)

Lisa Chambers: The Minister has said the Chief Medical Officer advised him to offer reassurance, but was he advised to offer repeat free smear tests to every woman in the country who wanted one? Was that the clinical advice given to the Minister? My information is that he was advised this would put additional stress on the system, that the capacity was not available and that he was repeatedly advised,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cancer Screening Programmes (5 Feb 2019)

Lisa Chambers: CervicalCheck became aware of this matter in November last year and we are now in February. Why have some women in the group of 4,600 not yet been notified three months on? When will the backlog be cleared? If a woman presents for a smear test today, when will she receive her results? My understanding is that, with current capacity, it will take in excess of one year to clear the backlog....
