Gabrielle McFadden: Ms. O'Donoghue said that 1.4 million personal public service cards had been issued. Does everybody who is receipt of a benefit from the Department have a public service card, and has the Department now moved on issuing them to people who are in employment? How does the Department decide who will be issued them in an area? The term "invitation" is a bit loose. I got one and it did not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Ireland's Compliance with Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights: Discussion (10 Jun 2015)

Gabrielle McFadden: I thank Dr. Farrell for coming in. I was struck by his reference to the fact that legal aid has been available in certain circumstances or conditions since the 2013 Act was introduced. What are those conditions? What are we talking about there?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Ireland's Compliance with Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights: Discussion (10 Jun 2015)

Gabrielle McFadden: What percentage of cases would get legal aid? I would be concerned about that. In other situations in which legal aid is used, people get legal aid over and over again. They appear six months later and get legal aid again. I am concerned about what happens in this regard in the case of a death in custody. What kind of means are we talking about? Are the same criteria that are used in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Ireland's Compliance with Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights: Discussion (10 Jun 2015)

Gabrielle McFadden: Okay. As a rural Deputy from outside the Pale, I am concerned about what Mr. Finucane said about the lack of standardisation in this area. Is he saying to me that what people get in Dublin is generally better than what people get elsewhere in the country? Is that his experience? Was he just using the case in County Kerry as an example? As a representative of Longford-Westmeath, I would...

Gabrielle McFadden: I thank the witnesses for their time this morning. Many of my questions have already been asked. One point on which I would like to focus is appeals. Deputy Collins referred to the set-up situation. I am a little bothered by the responses. Was no research done before all this started? When this was just an idea - was no research done? Was no forecasting done? Did we not know how many...

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 88 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Restructuring the Administration of Student Grants (11 Jun 2015)

Gabrielle McFadden: Standard application processes are great but they do not help everybody. Not everybody in this world fits into a standard box. One cannot generalise or categorise people. What happens to someone who falls outside of the standard applications process, such as the guy I am talking about? That is where I am coming from and is why I believe that having this in the Dublin city ETB instead of a...
