Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Áine Collins: -----that would be an awful lot simpler. Ms McGuinness talks about accounts and not getting information. In the service level agreement, why does the HSE not design a particular template of accounts that would provide it with all the information it needs at the end of the year and also a template on what the governance of all these organisations should be? That would clean up so much of this.

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Áine Collins: While I accept that they all have their own audit because they are separate legal entities and that the audited accounts will be done in a particular way which is within auditing standards, surely it would be simple to provide a chart of accounts that HSE needed information on. It would get bank balances and all the other information that the HSE would need. Such a chart would be simple to...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Áine Collins: The witnesses are all welcome this afternoon. In particular, I thank Mr. Hamilton Goulding for his attendance and for being so open and honest. I wish him the best of luck in whatever ventures to which he goes. I also wish Mr. Timmins and Ms Manahan the best of luck in the CRC, and it is to be hoped this episode can soon be put behind us all. I wish to ask Mr. John Cregan a question on...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Áine Collins: I accept that public pay must be reduced across all the organisations and so on. However, does Mr. Cregan not think it would make far more sense for the HSE to work with these organisations and their boards to try to help them get to a stage where this can happen?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Áine Collins: That is not what I asked. My point is that all of this happened in 2009. I accept that what happened before then was all different. However, the HSE was put in place and a big change happened in 2009 in respect of how these organisations were to be run and what their public pay, which was to be brought into line, was to be. However it appears as though this decision was made and the...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Áine Collins: I accept that and I accept it was unfortunate that this did not happen. However, I am trying to get to an overall point with regard to what we are trying to do here. The section 38 organisations per sedo a great deal of good work on the ground and the people they help, as well as their families, probably are the most vulnerable in society. I accept a stage must be reached where public pay...

- Mental Health Services: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (2 Jul 2014)
Áine Collins: Over the years, we have been trying to deal with many and various injustices of the past, issues like child abuse, mother and children homes, and the Magdalen Laundries. As a society our attitude towards mental health has been appalling. We stigmatised people with mental health problems and in many cases committed them to institutional care. Care was not the motivation. We simply locked...
