Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (4 Dec 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: If there is a drafting error, then the Deputy should withdraw the amendment, stop wasting everyone's time and let us move on to the next one. Let us not call a vote on an amendment that is fundamentally flawed. If the Deputy knows that it is fundamentally flawed, he should withdraw it and stop filibustering – Deputy McGrath has said they are not doing that – and let us move on...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (4 Dec 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: The amendment relates to where there is a risk to the life of a minor in an emergency. When she is on the verge of dying, a doctor cannot carry out a termination unless he or she informs her parents 48 hours before the procedure takes place. Section 13 relates to fatal foetal abnormalities. The time limit is 72 hours in that case. There is no reference to any timeframe in section 14....

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (4 Dec 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: I was not going to speak but I have just been reading the amendment. I have concerns, in particular, as previous speakers outlined, regarding the inclusion of ethnicity. I wish to point out that if this amendment is passed, it refers to section 14, which is early pregnancy. We put in the 12-week limit for two reasons, namely, to deal with rape and incest and to deal with the issue of...

The third item refers to multiple suppliers and works on the gates of the Phoenix Park gates and another entry refers to PJ Hegarty & Sons carrying out work on the gates of the Phoenix Park. I want to ensure that two...

Jonathan O'Brien: I will return to the issue of the stewards. Pulse Security had the higher figure of just over €1 million. A breakdown is given of all the areas where that company's personnel provided security, namely, Dublin Castle, the papal route, the Pro-Cathedral, the Capuchin Day Centre and Knock. They were not involved in the Phoenix Park event according to this breakdown. There is reference...

Jonathan O'Brien: I am trying to establish how much the security cost for the day of the Phoenix Park event if security was being provided outside. I have all the figures for the other events such as Dublin Castle and the Pro-Cathedral. There are then the other two figures, one of which is security and one of which is combined services. It is for just over €600,000. Could we get a further breakdown...

Jonathan O'Brien: I just need to clear this up for myself. We have a list of the spending to date that shows a figure of €1,005,270 for Pulse Security for steward services. This was a tender, as far as I am aware. The contract procurement information is for Pulse Security, with a contract reference number and a total of €1,005,270. I believe there is a 21 cent difference between the two...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: We have the figures for Dublin Castle, the papal route, the Pro-Cathedral, the Capuchin Day Centre, Knock and the car parks. There are two other figures. One is €387,000 for combined services, while the other is security for €246,000. I am looking for more detail on these two figures because we know some of the security was subcontracted to G4S.
