- Hospital Procedures (14 Feb 2012)
Kathleen Lynch: I thank the Deputy for raising this matter, which is not just urgent and crucial but also sensitive for parents and relatives. I will respond on behalf of my colleague, the Minister for Health, Deputy James Reilly. Our Lady's Hospital, Crumlin, wishes to apologise for any discomfort for patient and parents caused by the need to reschedule this child's surgery. The Deputy will be pleased to...
- Hospital Procedures (14 Feb 2012)
Kathleen Lynch: The child was acutely distressed and in need of medical attention before reaching the hospital. Everyone can understand that. The Deputy asked a very relevant question. Crumlin hospital advised the HSE today that it has had an increase of 25% in GP referrals of late, thus putting additional pressure on its emergency department at a time when it is historically busy with normal respiratory...
- Disability Services (14 Feb 2012)
Kathleen Lynch: It is about pounds, shillings and pence and unfortunately they are someone else's pounds, shillings and pence - the IMF and the ECB - all because we had a system, which we still have, where despite throwing money at it, we did not change how it operated. That is what we must do now and we must examine seriously at how we treat people with disabilities. I thank the Deputy for raising this...
- Disability Services (14 Feb 2012)
Kathleen Lynch: This exaggerated notion is wrong and is not how we should conduct our business. It is an exaggerated claim because there will not be catastrophic effects on front line services. We are negotiating about service level agreements with service level providers and that will be managed. I come back to the fact that we cannot agree to a service plan in November before a budget and then four...

- Diplomatic Representation (9 Feb 2012)
Kathleen Lynch: I apologise that I am not the Tánaiste, in more ways than one. My personal experience of the Embassy in the Vatican was very positive. It was extraordinarily efficient and the staff were very courteous. They did their best to fulfil any request that was made. That should be put on the record. I apologise that the script of my reply is not yet available. It will be provided to the...

- Diplomatic Representation (9 Feb 2012)
Kathleen Lynch: As a Deputy who has more prolonged experience of coalition government, Deputy à FearghaÃl understands that when there are two parties in government Ministers do not always tic tac with one another when decisions are made in their Departments. I do not know what went on in the Fine Gael Party. I have enough to do to keep track of what goes on in the Labour Party. I merely read political...
- National Disability Strategy: Statements (9 Feb 2012)
Kathleen Lynch: I am delighted this opportunity has been provided in the Dáil to have a debate on this issue. We had a debate on this issue in the Seanad recently and the debate there, while not coming down on one or other side of the issue of that House, was quite exceptional. It was wide-ranging, inspirational, to a great extent, and showed the value of having a structure that allowed for a more...
