Michael Moynihan: I thank the witnesses for their in-depth knowledge when answering questions, which were quite technical as regards the assisted decision-making Act and so forth.

That is something the committee has to pursue. We intend to do that...

Water Policy: Statements (9 Nov 2022)

Michael Moynihan: I welcome the opportunity to contribute the debate. It is important that we have a discussion on water services and wastewater treatment throughout the country. It is fundamental.

If they were to be prioritised...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: HIQA's Overview Report - Monitoring and Regulation of Designated Centres for People with Disabilities in 2021: Discussion (27 Oct 2022)

Perhaps this matter is outside of the remit of the HIQA officials but has HIQA a policy or conducted research on the shortcomings experienced during the pandemic and the decisions that had to be taken? The...

Michael Moynihan: That is something we might look at. Ms Grogan has said that HIQA has not conducted research. Perhaps HIQA should consider conducting research.
