Noel Grealish (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source
I wish to raise two Bills with the Taoiseach. Before I do so, I would like to be associated with the words of congratulations to Nóirín O'Sullivan on her appointment as Garda Commissioner. Most Members of the Oireachtas have good working relationships with the Garda Síochána in these challenging times for the force. I wish Ms O'Sullivan well in her new post. On proposed legislation, when Setanta Insurance went into liquidation, 75,000 policy holders lost out on their insurance and had to purchase new policies with alternative companies. Will that issue be addressed in the insurance Bill? When does the Taoiseach expect that the insurance Bill will come before the Oireachtas? I would also like to ask about the health reform Bill. It is unacceptable that over 9,000 people are on waiting lists at University Hospital Galway. I know of a case in which an 86 year old man who is in severe agony has had his operation cancelled four times. When does the Taoiseach expect that the health reform Bill will come before the Oireachtas?
