- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: The last report I can find is for 2021. Is there data for 2022 or 2023 that I could not find?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: Can Professor McAdam say that again, sorry?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: Please.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: Is there a reason why the last report I can see – and I appreciate the witnesses are not representing NOCA – is from 2021? Why is it I cannot see the reports from 2022 and 2023?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: Presented where?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: Right. Is has not been presented anywhere else?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: That would be helpful. This is quite a contentious issue in my own area of the southeast and Waterford in the context of UHW. The 2021 report states that the data that is there regarding STEMI is only related to the time from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., five days per week, and it states that UHW moved to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. five days a week. The second session we are having relates to recruitment....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: It does. I see from what happens in the cardiology department and other areas in UHW that the staff team and management are able to achieve numbers that are not being achieved in other hospitals. They have achieved that with fewer staff and less of a budget. That begs the question; if the numbers and presentations are as high and are increasing and the staff complement is considerably...

John Cummins: Ms Dalton mentioned the position across the Border. The next session relates to recruitment and I am interested in the opinions of our witnesses as clinicians on this. If we ignore the embargo and the challenges it has had for a moment, if there was no restriction and no budget, would we be able to fill all the positions that are there in the field of our witnesses? Is there availability...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: It is because it is not presenting at regional centres and it is more common that a person presents with those kinds of incidents at a general hospital, as opposed to a model 4 hospital.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: I mean no disrespect, but none of us wants to see the witnesses. However, it is good to know that, if we do need to see them, there are more people coming through the pipeline.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Constitutional Referendum on Right to Housing: Discussion (22 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: I thank the Chair. To take off from where Dr. Lyons finished, it would be helpful to have that wording because it is not in his opening statement I have taken a few notes on what he said. As regards the minority report, was it just two members of the commission who constituted that minority?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Constitutional Referendum on Right to Housing: Discussion (22 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: The wording is not in the statement in front of me.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Constitutional Referendum on Right to Housing: Discussion (22 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: The way Dr. Lyons describes this is interesting. I would like to know whether the minority report was put to the overall commission. Dr. Lyons cannot answer that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Constitutional Referendum on Right to Housing: Discussion (22 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: What was the time lag between both reports, that is, the report at the original meeting versus the minority report, as we are terming it here?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Constitutional Referendum on Right to Housing: Discussion (22 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: I will make one comment before Mr. Boyle comes in. I read Mr. O'Flynn's opening statement last night. Much of what he said I could say myself. It is a topic about which I have an open mind. I am on record as saying so. While I do not feel I have been fully convinced of the need for it in full, it is not something that I have ruled out either. The Housing Commission analysed it in far...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Constitutional Referendum on Right to Housing: Discussion (22 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: I understand that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Constitutional Referendum on Right to Housing: Discussion (22 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: It is important to clarify that. Home for Good has been before this committee before where we had these frank and honest discussions. The question I wish to ask Mr. Boyle or, perhaps, Dr. Casey relates to the points that both Dr. Lyons and Mr. O'Flynn made in their argument that this constitutional amendment is not required and that this can be achieved without it. If there is to be a...
