- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Petitions Received (24 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: Someone needs to answer for the fact that this unsafe vessel was registered as safe in the first place when it clearly was not. This family have been let down apparently every step of the way by the system because we have another situation here in which the buck seems to be passed from one to another all over Europe. As the Deputy stated, we know there are boats out there that are of the...

It states: On February 12, 2024, our daughter Bena-Blu was born at just 22 weeks and weighing only 420 grams.

- 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...

We did say to the petitioner that we would do all we can. It was also suggested contact be also made...

Darragh O'Brien: I will just say this, a Cheann Comhairle. Reversing the designation from safe country is not going to process those claims. If anything, the claims will be in process for longer.
