- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 15: Hepatitis C Treatment in Ireland
Management of Medical Negligence (22 Nov 2018) Kate O'Connell: Why have only ten of the 36 recommendations been taken on board when the drug has been on the market for three years now? The recommendations are not overly complicated and do not ask for too much. Why is there inertia in this area?

Chapter 15: Hepatitis C Treatment in Ireland
Management of Medical Negligence (22 Nov 2018) Kate O'Connell: I understand that and the reason for the issue when the report came out before the drug was licensed, but all the same principles of education and prevention still exist. I do not buy the idea that the report is out-of-date, in the sense that it was published before the drug was available, because one could have layered the treatment on top of the existing content and added it as another...

Chapter 15: Hepatitis C Treatment in Ireland
Management of Medical Negligence (22 Nov 2018) Kate O'Connell: In light of all that has been discussed, I want to make sure that I have not got this wrong. We do not know how many people have hepatitis or how many more new cases there are, so we do not know if we are running at a standstill. There is no database but there are data-sharing issues which the witnesses hope to have dealt with by the first quarter of 2019. As one of my colleagues said,...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Evaluating Orphan Drugs: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Nov 2018)
Kate O'Connell: Mr. Hennessy referred to the possibility of legislation for biosimilars similar to that for generics 15 years ago. That needs to be examined further than at a meeting of a health committee. That is not substitutable and I cannot imagine a situation where we would introduce legislation to force a consultant dealing with a complex condition to change medication based on a direction by the...

- Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Nov 2018)
Kate O'Connell: Following on from Deputy Coppinger, there are a few bits of this amendment to which I would draw attention. There is factually incorrect information, to my mind deliberately designed to cause hurt and pain to not only the women who have been affected but perhaps the men in their lives and their families as well. Also, there is some wholly irresponsible language in the amendment with...

- Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Nov 2018)
Kate O'Connell: Deputy Donnelly made a very good point about the framing and wording of these amendments. They are framed in such a way that allows us to be asked how we could be against them. When I returned home last night, as if I had not had enough of this subject after yesterday's proceedings, I thought about the amendment relating to "dignified disposal". The wording of that amendment was carefully...
- Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Nov 2018)
Kate O'Connell: The conversation on this amendment has included a reference to the belief that abortion is the ending of a human life and that people will be forced to facilitate the ending of a life. We have come back to the use of inflammatory language. Perhaps that is the view, but it is not really the place we are in right now. Previously, people spoke about reasons or offering clarity in reference to...
