- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (29 Nov 2023) David Cullinane: I want to respond to the Minister because it is worse than that. I have the notes here in front of me and I want to repeat some of them back to him. The Secretary General of the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform appeared before the finance committee. He illuminated a bit more maybe on what I would call not just tensions but very stark...

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (29 Nov 2023) David Cullinane: When Ms McGirr says that, who was it sent to? Who sent the letter from the Department of Health?

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (29 Nov 2023) David Cullinane: Bernard Gloster's memo.
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (29 Nov 2023) David Cullinane: Mr. Moloney stated, at the meeting of the finance committee: I have not seen that letter. It may have been passed to the Minister but, to the best of my knowledge, I have not seen it. When he asked further he said, "I do not recall that being discussed with me", as in, that letter.

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (29 Nov 2023) David Cullinane: Mr. Moloney stated "I have not seen that letter."

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (29 Nov 2023) David Cullinane: Hang on a second. No, we have had a very serious issue with the funding of the health service. They go to great lengths in all of their notes to say the sharp differences they have between the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, and the HSE and the Department. The head of the HSE has set out in stark terms what went on in his perspective, sent...

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (29 Nov 2023) David Cullinane: It was put to Mr. Moloney that health inflation ranged between 10% and 17%.

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (29 Nov 2023) David Cullinane: Mr. Moloney said, "Absolutely not." My colleague put it to Mr. Moloney that, "Bernard Gloster and Robert Watt both told the Joint Committee on Health" that this was the case and Mr. Moloney replied: "I am not aware of what that is based on." How could Mr. Moloney not be aware of what it was based on? For me, the debate shows me how bizarre all of this is when, again, it was stated that...
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (29 Nov 2023) David Cullinane: It is utterly bizarre. This probably is the most chaotic way we have ever funded the health service, when you have that carry on with the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, and I am not blaming the Department of Health on this. There are financial controls that can be put in place, there are savings that can be made and there can be differences...
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (29 Nov 2023) David Cullinane: In response to the questions about who got what email and who read it, the Minister made the point that it does not really matter who read it because most of the issues were understood. That goes to the heart of the problem here. It is not as simple as that. Yes, a memo is just a memo and an email is just an email but it was obviously a very substantial email and very stark. I will read a...

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (29 Nov 2023) David Cullinane: I will read out the notes and the Minister does not have to respond if he does not want to. I will read them.

- Written Answers — Department of Housing, Planning, and Local Government: Wildlife Regulations (29 Nov 2023)
David Cullinane: 85. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government whether appointment-only private falconry exhibitions operating with an appropriate falconry licence which operate on an appointment-only basis and are not open to the public generally are considered to fall within the definition of "zoo" in Council Directive 1999/22/EC of 29 March 1999 relating to the keeping of wild animals...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)
David Cullinane: I thank our witnesses and thank them for their evidence today. I have questions for specific witnesses as opposed to getting a response from everyone, so I will put the questions specifically to the witnesses. I will start with the representatives from the ICGP to make the best use of my seven minutes, given that our time is limited. I accept Dr. Collins is saying that the ICGP's research...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)
David Cullinane: My question may be a different one then. Would Dr. Collins accept it would be complex?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)
David Cullinane: If I just come back to the opening statement, I will ask the question that may point to the reason I asked the first question. Dr. Collins spoke about clear boundaries coming from the RedC Research and Marketing report requested by the ICGP, which set out a number of clear boundaries for those GPs in favour of assisted dying. One of these is a medically verified terminal illness, possibly...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)
David Cullinane: That was my point in my opening remark. Dr. Collins accepts that it is complex and difficult, even with the mitigations, boundaries, and safeguards that would have to be put in place. That is not to say it cannot be done, because I am broadly supportive of legislation in this area, but we need to accept it will be difficult and challenging to actually legislate.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)
David Cullinane: I thank the Professor. I have a follow-on question. I agree with his analysis of palliative care, its importance and what it does, but in his opening remarks he stated that if assisted dying is introduced, it should be an option only of last resort. I know the Professor somewhat clarified his position when he said he is not neutral, as such, but I ask him to provide examples of what he...
