Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Pay and Conditions of Non-Consultant Hospital Doctors: Discussion (5 Mar 2013)

Regina Doherty: I thank all the witnesses for attending this afternoon. The presentations of the previous witnesses and Ms McGuinness are chalk and cheese. One would swear we were talking about two completely different countries or two different topics. I do not know how to say this without saying something inappropriate but it is obvious that one presentation is not right. Both could not be right. A...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Pay and Conditions of Non-Consultant Hospital Doctors: Discussion (5 Mar 2013)

Regina Doherty: I withdraw it. I meant to refer to the next group of witnesses. I do not think there is anyone present who does not completely empathise with everything our guests have stated. It cannot simply be the case that those in authority are treating our guests as badly as they do because they can and because there are no sanctions. I could go into my office tomorrow and be mean to my staff just...

Regina Doherty: I will speak briefly about two aspects of this measure. The first matter I would like to raise, which I have highlighted previously but is not covered in the Bill, is the need to recognise that a large majority of people paid vast amounts of stamp duty over the last ten years. I appreciate from the correspondence I have had with the Minister that the expert report devised the property tax...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Child and Family Support Agency: Discussion (28 Feb 2013)

Regina Doherty: Many of the questions that I was going to ask have been addressed by Mr. Jeyes's responses to previous questions. I have a number of technical questions. Professor Pat Dolan mentioned that what we are doing now is what we have been discussing for 20 years. It is great to see it coming together. I hope that Mr. Jeyes will not misconstrue our frustration that it is not all happening quickly...

Regina Doherty: I am grateful for the opportunity to speak on the Bill.

Magdalen Laundries: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Feb 2013)

Regina Doherty: Last week's report by former-Senator McAleese laid bare a harrowing picture of humiliation and exploitation suffered by women and girls who were sent to a network of Irish workhouses. It characterised those institutions as lonely and frightening places. Over a 70 year period, at least 10,000 women were housed in the laundries. The youngest was aged nine years and the oldest 89 years. Over...

Topical Issue Debate: Cash for Gold Trade (12 Feb 2013)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Acting Chairman for the opportunity to speak on this topical issue, which was prompted by a recent meeting I had with a constituent at a jobs launch. I was admiring a ring on her finger when she informed me that it was the only piece of jewellery she owned following a break-in at her home. The reason it was the only piece she had left was that she was wearing it on the day...

Topical Issue Debate: Cash for Gold Trade (12 Feb 2013)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Minister. I appreciate and acknowledge that it was the current Minister who initiated the report and that the Garda provided it in an exceptionally timely manner with very good recommendations, all four of which are eminently doable. The reason for my frustration is that although the report was sent to the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality last June, it is now...
