Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: Is all the data there for that?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: In terms of the children's disability network teams, CDNTs, we do not seem to have enough staff for any disability services in counties Cavan and Monaghan. What are Mr. Gloster's thoughts on that?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: I am sad about it as well because there are children who have not had any therapy.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: They are ten years of age now. It is an awful situation for these children and parents. They are not getting services that should be provided to them by the HSE and disability services.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: Yes.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: I thank Mr. Gloster for that reply. I have submitted several questions on CT and MRI scanners in Cavan hospital that have not been in operation. I have letters that contain the figures. The scanners have not been in operation for quite a bit of time. One of my top priorities is that we would have services like this available in Monaghan hospital. The Cavan hospital has machines that do...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: Is that in Cavan hospital?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: What about Monaghan hospital?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: The issue is that we do not really have a scanner in Cavan hospital because it has not been working and we do not have a scanner in Monaghan hospital either. I feel that the people of Cavan and Monaghan have been forgotten about. Services are available in Dublin because these machines are available in Dublin. Why are we not entitled to have machines operational in these two counties?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: There are huge backlogs for the use of these machines, which leads me back to a matter I consistently raise. If Monaghan Hospital was in use more, there would not be the backlogs in Cavan, particularly as the latter serves Monaghan, Cavan and other surrounding counties. Will the HSE consider Monaghan for a CT scanner and an MRI scanner in order to provide some relief for the doctors and...

Cathy Bennett: What is Mr. Gloster's salary?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: I thank Mr. Gloster. He is very upfront and honest about it. What is the salary of the director of the National Ambulance Service?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: Even though he is not a practising paramedic, he gets paid the additional €10,000.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: He does not, and he gets €10,000 for that.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: I am on the side of the ambulance drivers who are constantly under pressure and who do the work on the ground. They are not being paid as correctly for the hours they are doing. The director gets paid this additional amount and he does not even have to do the work for it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Binding Treaty on Business and Human Rights at the United Nations: Discussion (15 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: I welcome the witnesses. I also welcome and thank all the translators, who I understand have a hard job. The document, A Time for a Treaty, states it is a well-established fact that: EU and Irish companies are involved in human rights violations and environmental damage including modern slavery, land grabs, child labour, oil spills, deforestation, attacks on human rights defenders, and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Binding Treaty on Business and Human Rights at the United Nations: Discussion (15 Oct 2025)

Cathy Bennett: That answers my question. I thank Mr. Jiménez Villalta. In relation to those human rights that should be incorporated in legislation, will this treaty affect the occupied territories Bill that we are trying to progress in Ireland in relation to corporations being unable to do land grabs and sell products from the Palestinian State?
