Mr. John Beggs: Yes. I have to say I was very, very surprised to hear what Professor John FitzGerald had to say at the committee meeting. I've known him quite a long time. We've worked together in the Department of Finance in the 1970s. We've had some interactions, over the years. I ... I suppose, at my own initiative, I decided that what we needed to do ... I was doing the stress...

Liam Fitzgerald: ...Senator Ryan to join us, since his colleagues from all sides will be there. It will be interesting to hear the views of the Opposition parties regarding the recent pronouncements of Dr. Garret FitzGerald. There may be something of a conversion on the road to Damascus. We await it with bated breath.

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Nov 2010) See 2 other results from this debate

Alex White: The issue in this case is not the separation of powers but the right of citizens to representation. Senator Fitzgerald is absolutely correct that it is extraordinary that people must go to the High Court. Members constantly argue in the House that the power of the courts is too great, but citizens are being forced to go to the courts to have their right to representation vindicated. That...

Alex White: It is true that the accountability issue has been raised again in sharp relief in the context of the matter raised by Senator Fitzgerald and the investigations into the deaths of children in care. Given how often we are told that there is such a large amount of public resources devoted to the health services administered by the HSE, the blockage between those of us elected to these Houses...

Leaders' Questions (13 Nov 2012) See 1 other result from this debate

Micheál Martin: I want to ask the Taoiseach some questions on this. Obviously, the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Fitzgerald, took a calculated decision to proceed on this route of a Government campaign separate from that of the Referendum Commission. Will the Taoiseach outline why that decision was taken? Did the Attorney General examine all of the information that was contained in the...

Frances Fitzgerald: ...services. I would like to say more about this but there is no time to do so. What action has the Minister taken within her Department to lead reform of the Health Service Executive in light of the Fitzgerald report? What will be the scale of future cutbacks and how will the Minister prioritise the areas in which those cutbacks will occur? Will cutbacks be confined to administration or...

Public Transport. (9 Dec 2009)

Tommy Broughan: How was the appointment of the chairperson - in this case Mr. John Fitzgerald - made? What is the exact remuneration packaged enjoyed by Mr. Fitzgerald and what are the terms and conditions of the job? When will the National Transport Authority be fully operational and how many staff will it have in 2010? I presume it will come under the Department of Transport Estimates that will come...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 May 2008) See 4 other results from this debate

Paul Bradford: I support the call by my colleague, Senator Fitzgerald, for a debate on the emerging housing crisis. It is difficult to accept that as we reach the end of the Celtic tiger era, one of the issues which remains as significant a problem as it was when that era began in the mid-1990s is the housing crisis and the fact that tens of thousands of people are still looking for social housing. A...

Joe O'Toole: I agree with what Senator Fitzgerald has just said. I remind the House that not only was the matter accepted by all parties in the House, it was then sent to a committee under the chair of the previous Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and of which our distinguished colleague, Senator Boyle, was a member as well as myself. We had organised a structure under which...

IBRC was...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)

...her results were released. Her results were caught in the overall backlog. The learning from Sharon's case has been taken on board in terms of communication. It is one of the priorities, as Ms Fitzgerald said, around improving communication. I mentioned the multiple channels people can come through in terms of representation, whether that concerns delays or whatever else, and bringing...

Charles Flanagan: I join the Chairman in extending a welcome to the members of the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, to our meeting. What we have heard from Commissioners O'Brien, Foley and FitzGerald is disturbing. What has been outlined for us is a culture of frustration, delay and indifference on the part of gardaí towards the commission. That is unsatisfactory. I will be brief...

Joe O'Toole: Senator Fitzgerald raised crucial points, including the need to engage on issues, a matter I raised on the Order of Business yesterday. The Seanad has refused to become topical because the Leader has failed to arrange debates on issues such as education when requested to do so. While I concur with the point made about the lack of discussion and engagement with this House, this should not be...

John Paul Phelan: I want to turn, actually, to ... it's another core ... core document. It's a few of them, actually, Vol. 1, they're all Vol. 1.

Gerry Horkan: ...the experts who spoke this morning, Dr. Eoin O'Dell and Ms Hazel Tunney, and the pupils from Bishopstown community college and Eureka secondary school. A past pupil of the latter school, Martina Fitzgerald of RTÉ, came in earlier and is still in the Gallery, which gives the delegates a good chance of making the news. Senators would love to see Ms Fitzgerald here as often as...
