Social Welfare Code: Motion (2 Nov 2011)

Séamus Healy: I agree with Deputy Healy-Rae. I am delighted to have the opportunity to say a few words on this issue. I condemn out of hand the conduct of the Government and its shameful attacks on elderly people. These shameful attacks will mean not just that the safety of elderly people is at risk, but that their lives are at risk. The actions of the Government and of the so-called Labour Party...

Developments in the Eurozone: Statements (Resumed) (2 Nov 2011)

Séamus Healy: I heard a Government Deputy suggest the Government has a mandate for the approach it is taking. Let us be clear on this matter; Fine Gael and the Labour Party do not have a mandate for the policies they are pursuing. When their members travelled the country in January and February last, we heard them distance themselves from the policies of the Fianna Fáil-Green Party Government, promise...

Séamus Healy: With the agreement of the House I will share time with Deputy Finian McGrath. I am glad to have an opportunity to speak on this Bill, which I welcome. It is hoped it will be helpful in the development of our primary and community care services.

Health (Provision of General Practitioner Services) Bill 2011: Second Stage (26 Oct 2011)

Séamus Healy: -----to locate in areas where we are currently experiencing difficulty getting GPs? We continue to have difficulty in regard to the numbers of general practitioners in training. To increase the figure of 52 per 100,000 will require the training of additional general practitioners. This issue will need to be addressed. I believe the limits for medical cards need to be urgently amended. The...

Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (26 Oct 2011)

Séamus Healy: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this Bill and I will start with two brief case histories. A self-employed individual had a house - a family home - with a mortgage. He was doing well and was able to get along. When he had a fourth child, he thought he should trade up to a four bedroomed house for the convenience and comfort of his family. He decided to go to the local bank which knew...

Army Barracks (26 Oct 2011)

Séamus Healy: I thank the Minister for his response and for meeting the deputation from Clonmel last Thursday. In regard to any decision to close any of the barracks - Clonmel is the one about which I am most concerned - surely the focus should not only be on the effects on the Department of Defence. Surely there should be a full appraisal of all the consequences of a closure and a full cost benefit...

Army Barracks (26 Oct 2011)

Séamus Healy: An important factor in the case of Kickham Barracks in Clonmel is that the complex is a protected structure. There might have been a chance of selling a barracks in buoyant property times but the fact this complex is a protected structure and is particularly important will mean it will not be possible to this property if it comes on the market. We do not want to end up with a barracks like...

Report by the Interdepartmental Working Group on Mortgage Arrears: Statements (Resumed) (25 Oct 2011)

Séamus Healy: I welcome the opportunity to speak in this debate. I agree fully with the previous speaker. This is an horrendous situation for people and all of us meet people in our clinics who are in very difficult situations. Many find it difficult if not impossible to sleep at night and many are terrified of the situation in which they find themselves. The vast majority, if not all, are people who...
