- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Prevention and Treatment of Lyme Disease: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2014)
Catherine Byrne: My question is really the same. I accept that where someone is diagnosed out of the country, there may be labs that are not up to standard. We had a group in an hour ago who said the same thing about labs and people doing medical work who are not fully qualified. If somebody is diagnosed outside the country, whether through a national lab or a dodgy lab - I do not want to say that but it...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Prevention and Treatment of Lyme Disease: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2014)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Regulation of Cosmetic Surgery: Discussion (18 Dec 2014)
Catherine Byrne: Two issues occurred to me while Mrs. O'Donnell was speaking. By comparison with other European countries, has she any statistics on the number in this country who have had professional cosmetic surgery? I accept she cannot talk about the other scenario but I wonder in that regard. As somebody who was badly burnt when I was aged four and who spent months in Dr. Steevens' Hospital, I am...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Regulation of Cosmetic Surgery: Discussion (18 Dec 2014)
Catherine Byrne: I thank our guests for attending. It is sometimes difficult to pose appropriate questions. Every day of the week people are bombarded with images and advertisements via television, radio and the Internet. Regardless of whether we like it, this has become our reality. I recently met a lady who was over 90 years of age. I asked her why she had such lovely skin and she informed me that she...
- An Bille um an gCeathrú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (An Ceart chun Féinriarachta Pearsanta agus Sláine Colainne) 2014: An Dara Céim (Atógáil) [Comhaltaí Príobháideacha] - Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Right to Personal Autonomy and Bodily Integrity) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (17 Dec 2014)
Catherine Byrne: It is important that Deputy Daly had the opportunity to introduce the Bill this evening. On reading the opening statement by the Minister, Deputy Varadkar, on this Private Members' Bill, I was struck by his wisdom and sincerity as a Minister and a medical doctor. In that statement, the Minister said:Medicine and the human condition are coloured in grey and cannot be reduced to binary or...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Health Services for Irish Communities in UK and USA: Discussion (11 Dec 2014)
Catherine Byrne: I welcome the witnesses, in particular the Minister of State, Deputy Deenihan. I have not read Deputy Ó Caoláin's notes because it was the first thing I said. I am delighted to see the Minister of State here. He was very passionate about his previous job in the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and I know the passion he has for people who live abroad, in particular...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Health Services for Irish Communities in UK and USA: Discussion (11 Dec 2014)
Catherine Byrne: She is a very beautiful girl and I am delighted to say she will be in the Houses for a while. Why do the older Irish living aboard have so many health problems? Can that be attributed to the fact that many Irish people who left the country had a Catholic background? I was struck by the fact that it was said many health problems stemmed from people not wanting to expose their private...
- Committee on Education and Social Protection: Select Sub-Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2014
Vote 26 - Education and Skills (Supplementary) (10 Dec 2014) Catherine Byrne: I understand that point. However, what about schools in the DEIS, delivering equality of opportunity in schools, programme that require new buildings or accommodation? If the €35.5 million is gone to another area, will the Minister get extra moneys next year to pick this up?
- Committee on Education and Social Protection: Select Sub-Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2014
Vote 26 - Education and Skills (Supplementary) (10 Dec 2014) Catherine Byrne: I appreciate that but what about DEIS programme schools in poorer areas that are told they will have to wait another six years for a new build?

- Committee on Education and Social Protection: Select Sub-Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2014

- Committee on Education and Social Protection: Select Sub-Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2014
Vote 26 - Education and Skills (Supplementary) (10 Dec 2014) Catherine Byrne: I am trying to fill in the gaps because I am new to this. Subhead D3 states there will be an underspend of €35.5 million on capital expenditure. I take it this is related to projects being constructed. The subhead indicates that the number of projects commencing was smaller than anticipated. I wish to raise a local issue and, although I do not expect an answer on it now, perhaps...
