- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Petitions Received (24 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: It is, and we send our thoughts to the petitioner. She is taking particular issue with the HSE's reference to best practice when, as she says, the weight of the baby was estimated as higher than was the case following birth. Also, the petitioner has an issue with what more could have been done in an accident and emergency environment. It is obviously distressing that at 22 weeks' gestation...

Martin Browne: It is harrowing that the weight and those six days, as the petitioner says, seem to have been contributing factors. Is it agreed to do as proposed? Agreed. P00058/24, entitled Flawed Legislation relating to Pensions and Social Security, from Mr. Frank Moran, is to ensure the entitlement of the same-sex couples to benefit from an occupational pension scheme. Changes were made to Part VIIA...
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Petitions Received (24 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: We await a response from the Department. The petitioner appeared before the committee on 3 October. From speaking to him at the meeting, it was clear that there is a gap in respect of equal access to entitlement. This matter should be investigated and investigated as quickly as possible. We did say to the petitioner that we would do all we can. It was also suggested contact be also made...

- Select Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (24 Oct 2024) Niall Collins: Yes, absolutely. The €116 million in the main goes towards the €1,000 reduction in the student registration charge. I think it is fair to say we have to keep in context the fact that over the lifetime of this Government, we have done a lot of work to reform the SUSI grant system. We have increased thresholds and grant amounts. We also made technical adjustments to the scheme...
