- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Brexit Preparations Update: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I am conscious that we are under a little time pressure. Deputy Durkan has not come in yet and Deputy Donnelly has a supplementary question. I have one brief question before we go further. We have discussed stakeholder engagement and the level of meetings. The committee has been told that we are in better shape than we were in March. What is the extent of the Minister's involvement in...

Louise O'Reilly: That is more than just a weekly briefing then.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Brexit Preparations Update: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I call Deputy Durkan. I am conscious of the time and although I do not wish to limit the Deputy, if he goes over time he will be eating into Deputy Donnelly's time.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Brexit Preparations Update: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I wish to clarify the Deputy was given three minutes because this was the time she asked for. On behalf of the committee I thank all of our witnesses. I will not name everybody but our thanks go to every single one of them for coming in today, for their open engagement and indeed for the work they are doing and continue to do in this area. None of us looks for this but we really...
- Select Committee on Health: Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: This section provides that a failure to make a declaration will be treated in the same manner as practitioners prohibited or restricted from providing care. Did the Minister consider any less onerous penalties for failure to make a declaration? This seems unduly heavy on the registrant.
- Select Committee on Health: Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: Yes.
- Select Committee on Health: Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I do not have a reference in my notes but it falls under section 12. In our dialogue with representative bodies they brought to our attention that it appeared onerous and harsh to treat those who fail to make a declaration in the same way as those who have been prohibited-----
- Select Committee on Health: Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I appreciate that. I am speaking on the section as opposed to the amendments.
- Select Committee on Health: Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I do not know if I am unique in this Dáil but I think I am unique in this room in that I would have dealt with the outworkings of this legislation. Appealing to the High Court is really onerous in terms of the time it takes and the stress it causes. Let us not lose sight of the fact that it also costs the State a fortune. I have been in the High Court on an appeal when I was given...
- Select Committee on Health: Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I understand that when the Medical Council of Ireland sits, it sits with the power of the High Court and I can see why it has to be a like for like arrangement. The Minister of State has heard the concerns that have been raised if there is to be an informal meeting, which would be helpful. I would suggest that we ask someone to come in who has been through that experience, either from the...
- Select Committee on Health: Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: Is it the case that it is to go to the High Court because it is a question of like for like and because one cannot appeal to a lower court and so it must be one to the other? Okay, that was getting lost in the discussion. By necessity, it must be to a forum such as the High Court or something of a similar level but it does not necessarily have to be the High Court. We are talking about...
- Select Committee on Health: Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 12: In page 25, to delete lines 15 to 30. I will illustrate this with an example. Some years ago, I represented a nurse who had been struggling with addiction. During the period of her addiction, she was guilty of poor professional performance but thereafter she had worked very hard and, with the support of her family, she got her life completely back together. She...
