Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Ambulance Response Times: Discussion (25 Feb 2014)

Regina Doherty: I thank the delegates for their attendance. I will ask the same questions I asked the previous delegation and to which I did not get answers. It is worrying that Mr. Bell's statistics differ from the statistics provided in the last case. This information is key to the capacity review. The reason for this meeting today is to ensure that the service has the capacity to do the job which we,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Ambulance Response Times: Discussion (25 Feb 2014)

Regina Doherty: I thank the witnesses for attending today's meeting. I acknowledge and welcome those who are present in the Gallery. The statistics that Mr. Dixon mentioned by way of comparison obviously make for stark and compelling reading. I would like to drill into them. When he mentioned that Northern Ireland has 1,200 staff, Scotland has 4,500 staff and Ireland has 1,600 staff, was he comparing...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Child Care in Ireland: Discussion (20 Feb 2014)

Regina Doherty: Probably there is a little bit of a love-in here because everybody is in agreement with the policies pursued by the Department. I concur. It is interesting that the only person sitting at this committee from whom there is any criticism is from the party that took €300 million directly out of child care payments to families at a time when there were buckets of money in the country....

Topical Issue Debate: Tax Credits (19 Feb 2014)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Minister.

Topical Issue Debate: Tax Credits (19 Feb 2014)

Regina Doherty: That response was very comforting because, without being rude, I had expected the Minister of State to tell me it was a done deal and would not be reviewed. Consequently, I am greatly comforted that it is under active review. What is the expected time during which the concerns raised with me and, equally, the Review Commissioners will be taken into consideration? When would changes or...

Topical Issue Debate: Tax Credits (19 Feb 2014)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Brian Hayes, for taking this Topical Issue. The single person child carer credit has been raised with me by a number of fathers since the budget in October. We were waiting to see how it would work out because neither the Department of Finance nor the Revenue Commissioners was exactly sure how it would do so. Since their January wage slips have been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Public Health (Standardised Packaging of Tobacco) Bill 2013: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2014)

Regina Doherty: I thank the delegation for attending. I do not have a legal background and I apologise if the question appears stupid. I gather from their proposal that everybody has a constitutional right to their property and if the matter ever gets to court, the State would have to prove that the objective hoped to be achieved will be achieved and also that it is more achievable in this way rather than...

Public Health (Sunbeds) Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (13 Feb 2014)

Regina Doherty: The pioneering designer and fashion icon, Coco Chanel, has a lot to answer for because in the 1920s she popularised the idea of tanning. At that stage the sun was promoted to represent pleasure, relaxation and, obviously, good health. We all want to look our best and people will often go to any lengths to do so. Self-image is particularly important for young women and the cult of tanning...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Public Health (Standardised Packaging of Tobacco) Bill 2013: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2014)

Regina Doherty: I thank the witnesses for coming here. I do not want to be smart but I thank each of them for the employee representatives, who happen to live in my constituency, that they sent to my constituency offices to lobby me in recent weeks on the basis that they are losing their jobs. It was a cute move. I would respect the industry representatives if they said the packaging measures we are...
