- Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Jun 2015)
John Deasy: Here we are with the collective bargaining legislation. I think this is the third time I have spoken on this legislation.

He said that this legislation does not provide for mandatory collective bargaining and,...

John Deasy: The committee has dealt with the foster home issue. We need to remember that the Garda investigated all this in the early 1990s and no prosecutions resulted. The fear I and other committee members had was that it would be repeated. For that reason there was an imperative on Government to take the review or investigation process very seriously. That was what the committee was asking the...

John Deasy: While Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú is here, I want to ask him about the report on Cork Institute of Technology and Waterford Institute of Technology and the issues surrounding potential amalgamation. I spoke to Mr. Kelly, as have others, and my understanding is that the report was to have been finalised in late April. There were issues about two governing bodies being changed and the...

- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 88 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Restructuring the Administration of Student Grants (11 Jun 2015)
John Deasy: Does Mr. Ó Foghlú expect this to be finalised and dealt with by then? In fairness, we are hanging around here dealing with this for a long time. I accept Mr. Kelly's point. I spoke to him about the issues surrounding the changes in the governing bodies and presidential offices. That makes sense as it makes sense to delay and prolong the report. This has gone on for a very long...

John Deasy: It is a short report but it is very strong. The work the clerk has put into this is excellent. The kernel of it boils down to chapter two and the recommendations at the end. What we have discovered is that when it comes to individuals it is not possible to put a specific ban on former employees of the HSE. However, the step that needs to be taken is that authority to appoint investigators...
