- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Productivity and Savings Task Force: Discussion (18 Sep 2024)
Róisín Shortall: I would appreciate that because not only are some existing nurses looking for additional hours but a number of nurses who were on career break are finding it difficult to get taken back in, although they were guaranteed they could return to their job. Again, that is very hard to understand in the context of so many agency staff.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Productivity and Savings Task Force: Discussion (18 Sep 2024)
Róisín Shortall: Mr. Gloster spoke earlier about utilising equipment, operating theatres and so on to the max. When we compare what is happening in the HSE with the private sector, there is a significant amount of unused time in the week, and that is not even going into the night-time. It does not make sense from a productivity perspective to have expensive equipment lying idle. Has Mr. Gloster looked at...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Productivity and Savings Task Force: Discussion (18 Sep 2024)

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Engagement with Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs (17 Jul 2024)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Chair and the Senators for inviting me to meet the committee today to discuss the issues relating to the transposition of EU directives. The committee's letter of invitation indicates a wish to discuss the provision of draft statutory instruments to the committee by Departments, as well as the matter of their publication by the committee. I received a letter from the...

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Engagement with Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs (17 Jul 2024)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Perhaps the Senator would like me to respond. I will respond to each of the points in turn. On the list of infringements, I would be greatly pleased for the committee to have a substantive involvement in the detail of the directives and the transposition process, as well as the broad powers of the committee, which is what we have discussed to date. There is a substantive body of...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I have not dealt with the Senator's third issue-----
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Engagement with Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs (17 Jul 2024)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That is the third issue the Senator raised, which I have not yet addressed. Will the Senator let me continue?
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Engagement with Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs (17 Jul 2024)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: No, I was not. The Senator asked if he could interrupt me for a second. I will complete my points. The Senator raised three matters and I am on the second. Let us leave the third-party issue for a second - that is the third issue, which I will come to in a moment. The Senator mentioned the exchange. He specifically said that while he understood that the exchange from the OPC - or the...
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Engagement with Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs (17 Jul 2024)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I do not agree with the Senator. I want to agree with him because I want to try to do as much as I can to help this committee, but I just do not agree with the Senator on that. The reason I do not agree with him is this: if I read it across to the legislative process where fines are set, for example, that advice may very well have come about because of the read-across for other legislation...
