Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tribunals of Inquiry (21 Mar 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I ask for an update on the status of the tribunal of inquiry to examine the effectiveness of the complaints process in the Defence Forces. I ask for a specific update on this, given the background. In 1990, the Gleeson report was published, which outlined the inadequacies in the grievance procedures, the victimisation of people who applied for redress and the urgent need for an inquiry.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tribunals of Inquiry (21 Mar 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Tánaiste for the update. Have all members, as well as the necessary administrative and backup staff, been appointed?

The Tánaiste has confirmed verbally that if people...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tribunals of Inquiry (21 Mar 2024)

Catherine Connolly: That is why we keep asking these important questions. I looked at the terms of reference. I and other colleagues have raised this issue and the Tánaiste verbally confirmed the terms of reference, which is good. I do not want to repeat what I have said, but this is important. The independent review group told us that neither men nor women were safe. That was a staggering statement....

General Practice and Local Health Services: Motion (20 Mar 2024)

Catherine Connolly: The Minister of State has; it is not pleasant. Somebody related to a person who works with me spent time on a trolley in a hospital in Dublin today and it was utterly chaotic.

Thirty-four practising clinicians wrote to the Minister and pointed out that the six-month period was arbitrary and unacceptable. They work in the area of childhood trauma and pointed out that the impact of early trauma does not...
