- 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...

Martin Browne: It is crazy that everybody recognises the problems that are out there and the danger of involved but that no one seems to be prepared to move it on. As the Deputy stated at the outset, this whole family has been destroyed because of the lack of movement from anybody in this case. Is it agreed that we contact the OPLA? Agreed.

Pat Buckley: I agree with that recommendation.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Petitions Received (24 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: The recommendation is agreed. No. P00037/24, "Mandate life-saving measures for babies born at 22 weeks in all Irish hospitals", is from Miss Dympna Whelan. It states: On February 12, 2024, our daughter Bena-Blu was born at just 22 weeks and weighing only 420 grams.

Pat Buckley: I agree with the petition. It is heart-wrenching. Let us see what action will come back from it. It is about progressing stuff for people. It is a very sad situation.
- 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...

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...
