Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion. (20 Jul 2017)

Dara Calleary: In our ding-dong earlier I referenced the HSE. There were reports last weekend that it has identified a need for another €320 million for spending on older people and home care and home help packages. Has the Department received any correspondence from the Department of Health or the HSE on that?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion. (20 Jul 2017)

Dara Calleary: With the €20 million under profile for this year, the Minister is saying its expenditure is on profile. However, on elder care alone, and this comes back to demographics, the HSE is identifying another €320 million for next year already. Is there a possibility that the health budget will go way off profile this year?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion. (20 Jul 2017)

Dara Calleary: Again, we will agree to disagree. We would prefer it if the Minister outlined his expenditure plans at the committee so that they would be subject to scrutiny rather than us or his ministerial colleagues reading about them in the Sunday Independent. One of those Ministers who read about it was Deputy Regina Doherty of the Department of Social Protection. Previous Governments allocated the...

The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform might get the Minister at weekends - I am unsure. I wish the new ministerial team well. I was listening to their remarks and to the speeches. The intent was good but the reality is so...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Development and Reform of the Budget Process: Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (12 Jul 2017)

Dara Calleary: I want to address the workshop, which sounds like an excellent idea. I propose that the Chairman invite the Working Group of Committee Chairmen to undertake such a workshop because there is no sense in this committee promoting equality budgeting and gender-proofed budgeting unless each line committee takes them on. It might be worth the Chief Commissioner's while writing to the chairman of...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Development and Reform of the Budget Process: Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (12 Jul 2017)

Dara Calleary: Dr. Murphy mentioned Rebuilding Ireland. I suspect that the Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government probably never thinks of gender proofing housing programmes. It just wants to get houses built. There are so many areas where people do not think this is relevant when it is relevant. If we put it on everyone's agenda, these people could not claim ignorance.
