- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Medical Indemnity Insurance Costs: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Jan 2015)
Catherine Byrne: I thank the delegates for their presentations. I have two questions. Having read Ms Courtney's statement, I was astonished to learn she had to go to England to have a doctor make a diagnosis or participate. It was unfortunate that no Irish doctor would support the case. I find that tragic. It tells us an awful lot about what happens when people fall victim to medical negligence. Ms...

Catherine Byrne: I thank Ms Courtney and her husband, Brendan, for attending. I am sorry the Chairman, Deputy Buttimer, had to leave. He left me a lot of instructions which I must go through. I had better follow them to a "t"; otherwise I will lose my good job. I thank the witnesses for attending today's meeting and for responding so informally to the members-----

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Developing a National Strategy for Coeliac Disease: Discussion (15 Jan 2015)
Catherine Byrne: I thank everybody for their presentation. On cross-contamination in hospitals and so on, particularly around a toaster, a friend of mine was in my local hospital last week for an operation and when she asked for a slice of toast a few hours later, she was told that they do not make toast anymore because of health and safety. I do not think it was anything to do with being coeliac, but that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Coping with Challenges of Huntington's Disease: Discussion (15 Jan 2015)
Catherine Byrne: I apologise for not being here for the beginning of the presentation. My queries relates to the 700 people that were mentioned. Senator Colm Burke has already asked a question on research and what the committee can do to pursue the matter. I have only met one person with the disease. She was a very young girl and it was difficult to see the type of life she had. The Senator and I,...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Accident and Emergency Departments: Department of Health and Health Service Executive (15 Jan 2015)
Catherine Byrne: I will not be long. I thank the witnesses for coming in this morning. I thoroughly agree with Deputy Regina Doherty that it is about money. While it is also about management, it is certainly about money if one wants to implement something. When the HSE is counting trolleys, does it also count chairs? Are they part of the overall picture? If somebody is sitting on a chair in a corridor,...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Jobless Households: NESC, ICTU and INOU (14 Jan 2015)
Catherine Byrne: It is hard to do this discussion justice at one meeting because there is so much going on. There is a lot going through my head. It is complex, as someone else said. I offer my support to the Intreo office, the idea behind it and the idea that people can sit and talk to someone. I am not referring to someone being behind a screen but a set-up whereby a person can sit in a room and speak...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Jobless Households: NESC, ICTU and INOU (14 Jan 2015)
Catherine Byrne: I have young girls who have come out of school and gone to college and one of the things I saw when they were coming through the house with their friends was that they were all at different levels of skills. Some of them were more academic and some had other skills. I saw the connection they had with the teacher in the classroom and the teacher's ability to look at people's different...
