Mark Daly: Exactly.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: It comes down to a systems failure. If it is not being measured, it is not being done.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: I suggest the legislation require the publication of the number of donations made by each hospital. We accept that there are quirks, but it should not come down to the fact that one hospital has an enthusiastic nurse or consultant and another does not. There should be a properly resourced system in place. Will the position on the issue related to cardiac deaths change under the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: Can I take Mr. Watt back to-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: We all agree that presumed consent, a soft opt-out or any other system should not be brought forward without proper resources. The donor audit report showed evidence of the value of the register and the role of specialist nurses, on which we all agree. Does Mr. Watt agree that, if families were informed that their loved ones wanted to be donors, as demonstrated by a driving licence or a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: I am just asking whether Mr. Watt agrees with the information we have seen.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: Does Mr. Watt agree that the information we have is correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: What I am saying is this legislation does not-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: We all agree that specialist organ donor nurses are required.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: It is not a case of one or the other. They are required. We have seen, however, that if families do not know the intentions of their loved ones, the chances of their allowing organs to be donated when asked by a nurse are approximately 57%. If they know that their loved one wanted to be a donor, as opposed to being among the 2% to 5% of people who do not want to be donors, the chances that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: No, can I just ask-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: I just want to ask this question. Why does the legislation not provide for what actually works?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: It is not a donor consent system but just a list of those who have opted out. It does not state who has opted in.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: It gave up because it introduced the concept of presumed consent.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: Are there times when organs donated here are sent abroad? The legislation should include the required requests system in the hospitals and make sure that the driving licence information that has been captured about people's intentions is used and incorporated into this legislation.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: It is always great to get a warm welcome from a fellow Kerry man. I thank the Leader for outlining the Order of Business today. At present, it is all things Brexit and Brexit-related. I know the Government has made strong representations to the British Government on the court case yesterday. The matter has been raised many times in this House by Senator Ó Donnghaile, among others. I...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: We will.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: The Leader has outlined that we will discuss Brexit, which is the issue of the day. The fact that RTÉ is committing the entire day to the investigation of what Brexit will do on the Border, in particular, means it is appropriate that we would raise it on the Order of Business as well as having the discussion on it later. The most recent pie-in-the-sky proposal, which is akin to its...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: It appears to be a pie, a cake and a dog's dinner all at the same time. This new idea of having customs checks within ten miles of the Border was planned at least a year ago when the British Government brought in legislation where it could introduce stop, search and seizure within ten miles of the Border. That legislation passed in the Houses of Commons in 2017. This is not something it...
