Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Undocumented Migrants: Immigration Control Platform (1 Apr 2015)

Gabrielle McFadden: I just want to clarify, for the record, that in Fine Gael there is no pact not to discuss this situation at an election time, as has been said. I want that on record. I would never sign up to anything like that, because that is an outrageous thing for anyone to say. There is no pact within Fine Gael, and I speak for Fine Gael. Not to let my manners go astray, I want to thank the witnesses...

Written Answers — Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Rural Development Programme (15 Apr 2015)

To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when the European Commission is launching its roadshow to explain the workings of a new guarantee system to ensure access to credit for farmers as a result of a new memorandum of understanding agreed between the European Union and the European Investment Bank; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14000/15]

Fair Pay, Secure Jobs and Trade Union Recognition: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (16 Apr 2015)

Gabrielle McFadden: The Taoiseach and the Government clearly recognise the challenges relating to the issue which is the subject of the motion before the House. I agree with much of what was said by previous speakers. At the launch of the Low Pay Commission in February, the Taoiseach outlined data which indicate that 9% of families in which the head of household is at work are classified as consistently poor....

Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: Court Accommodation Refurbishment (21 Apr 2015)

Gabrielle McFadden: 409. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality when the contract to refurbish Mullingar Courthouse, County Westmeath, will be signed; when construction work is due to commence; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15497/15]

Public Accounts Committee: 2013 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 39 - Health Service Executive
Chapter 14 - Procurement by the Health Service Executive
Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2013
(23 Apr 2015)

Gabrielle McFadden: I am sorry I had to step out earlier, and if any of what I am going to ask has already been dealt with, I apologise, but I had to leave. One of the things I noted when Deputy McDonald was speaking to Mr. Swords about services and procurement was his comment that there were no contracts and that sometimes people at grade 4 and above would do that kind of thing. What kind of services are we...

Gabrielle McFadden: So if I got a job in the morning - for example, an administrative or secretarial job in a hospital - and I decided to pick up the phone and ring somebody and order paper, I could do that.

(23 Apr 2015)

Gabrielle McFadden: It seems to me that everything that is being done is being done now and in the future, and that to me is very basic. I would have thought that nobody would walk into a job like that, at grade 4 and above, or any situation, and just pick up a phone and order without checking whether there was a proper way of doing it or a procedure to be followed.

Gabrielle McFadden: No. Most people who work in a situation like that know that that is not the proper way of doing it. It seems to me that when it is Government money being spent caution is thrown to the wind and it does not matter because it is not real money. I think that is really wrong, and I think it should not have taken so long to start the process, so that we are only getting it right now. Can I go...

Gabrielle McFadden: Memos are sent to HSE staff all the time about holidays and about overtime and it gets out there directly. It does not take years and it does not take several reviews, so I think it is something that needs to be looked at.
