Kate O'Connell: Did the Department try to get retention for that project? When the Department attempted to fit it out, or whatever we are going to find out, for this purpose and discovered the planning was not valid, did the Department go for retention? When the Department discovered that the development was not valid, did it apply for retention permission?

Kate O'Connell: I want to know what we were paying relative to the market rate - the usual details really. Deputy Aylward made reference to 73 cases of overpayment and Ms McPhillips said that the Department has made "some progress" on this. Can Ms McPhillips put a figure on that progress?

Foetal Anti-Convulsant Syndrome: Discussion (25 Apr 2018)

Kate O'Connell: I thank all present for attending, particularly the witnesses and the parents of affected families. My view is that, regardless of the causes of the conditions the children have, the State has responsibility to assist those children and their families. I am a community pharmacist. I have dispensed valproate for years and have long been aware of the congenital issues with the prescribing of...

Foetal Anti-Convulsant Syndrome: Discussion (25 Apr 2018)

Kate O'Connell: Why was there such a difference between the United Kingdom and Ireland in terms of inclusion in data sheets, as mentioned by Mr. Peter Murphy? That was unusual. Why was there a discrepancy in the information included?

It is clear that there has been an issue with the dissemination of information, from EMA level down to real-life people, meaning people on the medication were not...
