Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: Does the State Claims Agency seek advice? Would the agency come to the cervical screening board to seek advice on whether or not the agency should go ahead with the case?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: So the HSE would never seek a person to sign a confidentiality agreement?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: Generally the HSE does not require or seek confidentiality clauses or agreements?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: Perhaps Mr. O' Brien could answer that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I completely understand that but I am trying to establish if the State Claims Agency seeks advice from the HSE about if a case is winnable or should it go ahead with a case. I find it absolutely disgusting the way that Vicky Phelan and many others are dragged through the courts. Who is the State Claims Agency accountable to? Who does it seek advice from on whether or not a claim is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: Does Mr. O' Brien know how many legal cases are being taken against the HSE currently?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: It is my question.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I look forward to the answer.

Seanad: Order of Business (3 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I agree that the Minister needs to come to the House to address the CAP issue. It is very worrying for farming. The substantive issue I want to talk about now, however, is the presentation that was made in the audiovisual room earlier this morning. It was in connection with the drug called valproate and its impact in respect of foetal anticonvulsant syndrome, FACS. We heard from parents...

Seanad: CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Statements (3 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minster for coming to the House. I appreciate that he has had a busy few days. I want to go back to 2008. As a woman, I cannot understand how the then Minister with responsibility for health, former Deputy Mary Harney, along with the Fianna Fáil members of the Cabinet, made the decision to outsource such an important service to America.It just does not add up. Something...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I want to ask about the global approach. The witnesses have continually being saying that we need a global approach rather than taking up the EU approach. We put this to officials from the Department earlier in the week and suggested that it is kind of a handy excuse for the Government. The OECD's interim report in March showed just exactly...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank Ms O'Brien for that. Mr. McCaughey suggests that, even if implemented, the EU plans would come up against the dysfunctions of a wider tax system. Will he speak to his main concerns in that regard?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: We have heard a good deal about tax digitisation. Is it a little more than shifting tax from one member state to another and does Ireland stand to be a loser in all of that? That is a question for Ms O'Brien and Mr. Lewis.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: Ireland would be a loser in all of that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: Will Mr. Lewis also comment on that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: On the sovereignty issue, the departmental officials cited legal questions they have on the legal basis for it. We gather their particular concern is around the fact that it would be the first time the EU has set a specific rate of tax being the 3% rate. I acknowledge that VAT is set within a certain range but have the witnesses concerns about EU interference and involvement in our tax...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: Has the Irish Tax Institute examined the legal basis of it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: Mr. McCaughey quite rightly pointed out measures we could take at home in the next budget to put our own house in order. We have long contended our domestic system leaves us open to criticism from abroad and in weakening the right to have our own system. Has the Irish Tax Institute suggestions for changes that can be made domestically to improve our image?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (3 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I will leave it at that. I thank Ms O'Brien.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: State Claims Agency: Discussion (8 May 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank Mr. Breen for his presentation. I want to return to the Vicky Phelan case and the State Claims Agency's relationship with the HSE. The HSE was the agency's client in that case and in other medical negligence cases.
