- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Gaming and Lotteries (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (10 Jul 2019)
Colm Brophy: I do not see the logic of the provision at all. I do not gamble at all so I may not understand the associated mentality. Surely if somebody wants to have a bet on the generation of six random numbers, his or her convenience point comprises the Irish lotto numbers. If we say he or she cannot bet on the lotto, the most likely next course of action will be to bet on the generation of six...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Business of Select Committee (9 Jul 2019)
Colm Brophy: Apologies have been received from Deputy Bailey. On behalf of the select committee, I express our sympathy to her. Later today the committee is scheduled to meet representatives from the Department of Health and the HSE for a briefing on budget management and the control of health expenditure. Before doing so, we will go into private session to deal with some committee business.

I welcome Mr. Colm Desmond, assistant secretary for finance and evaluation at the Department of Health; and Mr. Stephen Mulvany, chief financial officer from the HSE. They are also joined Ms Louise Carrigan who is the assistant...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Budget Management and Control of Health Expenditure in the context of Budget 2020: Discussion (9 Jul 2019)
Colm Brophy: I thank Mr. Desmond. The committee did not receive an opening statement from Mr. Mulranny, although we did receive a briefing document. Does he wish to comment on that document in the context of the general budget position of the HSE?
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Budget Management and Control of Health Expenditure in the context of Budget 2020: Discussion (9 Jul 2019)

- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Budget Management and Control of Health Expenditure in the context of Budget 2020: Discussion (9 Jul 2019)

- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Budget Management and Control of Health Expenditure in the context of Budget 2020: Discussion (9 Jul 2019)
Colm Brophy: This is the Committee on Budgetary Oversight. We have invited in the witnesses on the basis that they are discussing the budget situation. We must be reasonable to the witnesses. There was no indication that there would be questions about the square footage of the hospital. We must be fair.
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Budget Management and Control of Health Expenditure in the context of Budget 2020: Discussion (9 Jul 2019)
Colm Brophy: As Chairman, I am going to make the point again to Deputy Doherty that when we invite witnesses in to talk to us about a topic, if we have not given any advance notice of the questions, we can keep asking questions but they will not have the information. We are not the Joint Committee on Health. The witnesses are in before us to discuss budget management and control of health expenditure in...

- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Budget Management and Control of Health Expenditure in the context of Budget 2020: Discussion (9 Jul 2019)
Colm Brophy: Thank you, Mr. Mulvany. Again, to be consistent, this is a discussion on the implications for budget 2020 of the public expenditure overrun. If Deputy Boyd Barrett wishes to pursue this through the health committee, that is grand, but he has gone down a route which is outside of our committee area.
