Catherine Ardagh: I want to move on to the NTPF's funding and support of the fair deal scheme. I know from the Comptroller and Auditor General's report that the NTPF has responsibility for negotiating pricing with nursing homes when it comes to the fair deal. What checks does the NTPF undertake when setting the price paid to an individual nursing home under the fair deal scheme?

Catherine Ardagh: A lot of us watched the recent "Prime Time Investigates" programme on nursing homes. If the NTPF hears that a nursing home is not providing adequate levels of care and it receives substantial funding from the NTPF, the NTPF has no role in withholding funding.

Catherine Ardagh: We know about all of governance irregularities and clinical discrepancies at CHI and as my colleague pointed out earlier it is the child and their family who are at the centre of it. We are here today trying to disclose facts. We are not trying to prosecute. However, it is important the families remain our sole motivator to ensure that children get the best care possible and that the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Jul 2025)

Catherine Ardagh: I ask that time be provided for a Private Members' Bill I introduced before Christmas, colloquially known as the right to be forgotten Bill, in order that it could proceed to Second Stage. The Bill seeks to prohibit financial service providers from discriminating against cancer survivors who have completed treatment and have reached key milestones. It aims to ensure that a person's past...

Catherine Ardagh: I thank all the witnesses for coming in today. I only have ten minutes so I might cut a witness off while answering questions. I am just noticing here that An Garda Síochána had a €9.38 million underspend on clothing and accessories, yet we know that gardaí have recently resorted to buying their own surveillance and protective equipment. Has the issue with members...

Catherine Ardagh: It is really welcome that we have Deputy Commissioner Shawna Coxon onboard. It is great to have expertise from other jurisdictions. There is no point in us reinventing the wheel when the deputy commissioner is coming with expertise, especially when relating to the body cam procurement. That is really welcome.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025)

Catherine Ardagh: Would Dr. Coxon like to see a move towards more national CCTV? I do not believe the community model works. In my area in Dublin South-Central we have cameras that are run by the council, which seems to own the majority, but there is not a direct feed into the Garda station which might be four doors down. There should be a lot more interoperability between the State, whether it is the...
