Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (14 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: Cosúil leis an Teachta Aindrias Ó Muimhneacháin, ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil leis an Teachta Browne as ucht an Bhille seo a chur os comhair na Dála. Gabhaim buíochas freisin leis an Leas-Cheann Comhairle, a thug cead dúinn díospóireacht beagáinín níos leithne a bheith againn. Tá súil agam go bhfuil an...

Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (14 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: Go raibh míle maith agat. I thank Deputy Browne for bringing the Bill before us. I welcome the opportunity to support it and to speak more broadly on this issue. When I hear people whose bona fides I do not question speaking with heartfelt emotion about the problems on the ground, they say we need to talk and listen to young people and give them an opportunity to talk. I cannot help...

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2017: Second Stage (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: No I will not.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: We have all followed up on this and it is extremely difficult to keep track of it. We are now dealing with it under correspondence and trying to keep track. We were clearly led to believe that this report would be published sooner than it was. We still have no date in that regard. It is totally unacceptable. This was commissioned approximately a year ago. This was a simple report on...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: I am more than conscious of that. Sometimes I am too conscious of it and too cautious but this has nothing to do with the inquiry. This is to do with Mr. O'Brien's role in giving open information. He said the report was about to be published but it has not been. It is simply not acceptable that a report of this nature is now taking even longer. It is adding insult to injury.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: Not to mention that sufficient funding was not provided to the service provider into whose care Grace was put. She had already suffered.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: I looked at that on 6 June. It is referring to a letter of 7 May that I could not find. I am subject to being corrected. I see a letter of 9 May 2017 with enclosures. Here we are again. We have Towards Healing writing into us to correct what Caranua said to us in correspondence. We are going back over it.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: When Caranua was in we asked precise questions. Each and every one of us asked precise questions on rent and the cap on counselling as best we could. Now we find the very organisation referred to by Caranua, namely, Towards Healing, is coming back to correct Caranua. Imagine how difficult it is for the survivors using the services. This is the end point, as is value for money. We can...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: Yes.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: Ba mhaith liom cóip a fháil trí Gaeilge. Ba mhaith liom é a chur ar an taifead. Beidh sé ag teacht, nach mbeidh, agus beidh scála ama i gceist?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: Beidh scála ama agus tiocfaidh sibh ar ais le rá cathain a mbéas an cóip Gaeilge ar fáil. Go raibh maith agat.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: The letter simply notes coverage in the newspaper. It does not say anything about content. To be fair, the letter writer states that he notes from coverage that the report will be made. On a general level, perhaps on the question of issuing the report, NAMA asked for a report and various other groups have asked for a report. What needs to be clarified by the Chair is the procedure in...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: NAMA asked us for the report and we went through the procedure. We need to clarify publicly the procedure when we are doing reports. That might be helpful.
