- Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2013)
Catherine Byrne: I am not a member of the committee and had not intended to contribute but I must speak now. Making something up as one goes along is wrong. The Minister is well qualified and I believe that as a qualified doctor he knows in good faith what he must do with this section. We have had enough debate on this issue between last night and this morning. Deputy Naughten said he wanted to press the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Public Health Nurses: Discussion (27 Jun 2013)
Catherine Byrne: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I recall when I came home with my first baby and the fear and anxiety I felt when the public health nurse first called to my door. It is something most young mothers experienced at the time. When one closed the door after the public health nurse left there was a sigh a relief that one was taking care of one's baby properly and doing all the...

- Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (26 Jun 2013)
Catherine Byrne: Deputy Michael Healy-Rae might like to come to my house some day at 7 a.m. when there is a protest outside. Some of the things that are said and the things left behind are scandalous. I welcome the opportunity to express my support for the Bill before us. It is not often that we hear an Opposition spokesperson commending the Taoiseach and the Government for the introduction of...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Jun 2013)
Catherine Byrne: I simply wish to agree with Ms Grace O'Malley on the point about home economics in school, cooking and teaching children. I still believe that no matter where one lives in the city, one can buy decent vegetables and so on. I visit supermarkets all the time and there always are three-for-two bargains on sale. I see people buying cans of carrots for €1.75, when one could buy a bag of...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Jun 2013)
Catherine Byrne: I will start with a question because I then want to rabbit on for a while and I am sure the Acting Chairman will pull me in. Of the 585 families participating, it is interesting to read that 61% are classified through community and voluntary group referrals. That is an interesting figure. When these families, particularly parents or guardians, are told about their children's health...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Jun 2013)
Catherine Byrne: They are female, regardless of whether they are experts. We are all experts. I do not know how many of the delegates are married and have children, or are not married and have children, but I am interested. I grew up in a poor area, somewhat similar to the Temple Street area which I know very well. I do not remember seeing any overweight children where I grew up. I cannot even remember...
