Committee on Defence and National Security: Recent Air Corps Developments: Discussion (24 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: Is there a possibility it will be open to all three services?

Committee on Defence and National Security: Recent Air Corps Developments: Discussion (24 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: I thank the witnesses and apologise for putting them on the spot. I know it was outside of the remit.

Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025 : Discussion (Resumed) (19 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: I welcome our guests and thank them for coming in. I have a couple of conflicts of interest I have to declare. First, I served and soldiered with Declan Power in a couple of different guises. I think he has been one of the most powerful voices for the recognition of the service of our troops in the Congo. I think he has done outstanding public service in this regard. I do not think he...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: The challenge I have is not to get emotional in this discussion. Before I ask questions, I should say there is nothing personal in this. I know that each and every person here is a good person who is trying to do their best but collectively, ladies and gentlemen, something has gone terribly wrong. It is a scandal of international dimensions. This report, which CHI has not published, is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: No. Responsibility.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: So what will Ms Nugent do? How will she discharge that responsibility? Will she just carry on?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: Again, as with the report, I never hear the word "children" or the word "parents". I hear measurements, quantitative statistics and this, that and the other. Moving on to the other questions, who is doing CHI's PR?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: How much is CHI paying Q4?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: Will CHI send that to the committee?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: CHI is getting value for money from the rogue consultant narrative. I am very disappointed to hear that narrative. This is a systemic and systematic failure at board and executive level, and CHI is not fit for purpose. I am very alarmed, given what we know, that it is purported that the transition into CHI can be trusted. I think that will be a major risk event and I am glad to see that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: The witnesses do not know. I know that Dr. Okafor knows the consequences and implications of children not receiving timely intervention on the urological pathway. The witnesses do not know. What do the parents think of that? That is shocking. I have highlighted this in the Houses of the Oireachtas on behalf of the people who have elected me here and who have given me a mandate. We have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: This word "legacy" has been used repeatedly, but the witnesses do not know how many of our children have become infertile due to a lack of timely intervention. Again, it is like the light switch and the fan switch. That is not a mistake; that is an ongoing systemic and systematic failure of our children, with disabled children being de facto sterilised for lack of intervention on the...

Seanad: Report of the Farrelly Commission: Statements (18 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: I thank the Minister for coming in and presenting us with her observations on the Farrelly report. It is fair to say Grace has become a household name in Ireland and, sadly, for the reasons the Minister has referred to. Grace was failed. Everyone from the Taoiseach and Tánaiste to the various Ministers who have a footprint in this area have all expressed regret this has happened,...

Seanad: Report of the Farrelly Commission: Statements (18 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: Thank you.

Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: I thank the witnesses very much for coming in. It has been my experience, as an academic, that when we speak to issues like the triple lock and neutrality, it invites a very vitriolic and abusive response, not just from unnamed people online but from our academic colleagues, people who should know better. Some very high profile academics engage in ad hominem attacks on anyone who speaks to...

Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: Does Professor Murphy have any thoughts on an alternative to the triple lock that might be workable?

Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jun 2025)

Tom Clonan: No pressure.
