Ambulance Service. (29 Nov 2005)

Séamus Healy: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing me to raise the issue of the provision of an emergency ambulance service for the town of Carrick-on-Suir and surrounding areas. The current ambulance service, while excellent, is simply unable to meet the recognised response times to deal with cardiac arrests, heart attacks and road traffic accidents. I have raised this issue consistently and as...

Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31: Irish Ferries Dispute. (29 Nov 2005)

Séamus Healy: Like other Members, I condemn the SAS-type bully boy tactics of Irish Ferries at the weekend. Thankfully, the company came to its senses to some extent this afternoon and withdrew the so-called security personnel from the vessels. The antics of Irish Ferries are reminiscent of the William Martin Murphys of the Dublin lock-out of 1913. I hope the day of action on 9 December encourages this...

Séamus Healy: Is it not true that the Fianna Fáil-Progressive Democrats Government has maintained a culture of support for the race to the bottom, as seen in Irish Ferries? Is it not true the Government opposed the EU ferries directive last year? Will the Government now support the directive? Is it not true the Government supported this type of action by Irish Ferries with the MV Normandy last year? Is it...

Garda Recruitment. (23 Nov 2005)

Séamus Healy: The Minister stated that some 500 community gardaí were in place as of 21 June 2005. In view of anti-social behaviour in urban and rural areas, is the Minister serious in stating the Department and the Garda Síochána are taking this matter seriously? What does the all-time high, to which he refers, mean? There is not one dedicated community garda in the town of Clonmel or County Tipperary....

Garda Recruitment. (23 Nov 2005)

Séamus Healy: The Minister is clearly in need of information. Is it acceptable that in a town the size of Clonmel, there is no dedicated community garda and no increase in garda numbers over the past ten years? In the case of Fethard is he satisfied Garda authorities have refused to replace one of three gardaí who served the town in past years?

Garda Recruitment. (23 Nov 2005)

Séamus Healy: Does the Minister accept that anti-social behaviour of the order we see is the forerunner of gangsterism and of the type of murders seen over the past two or three weeks? Will the Minister do anything about this? Will he increase the mealy-mouthed number of community gardaí, namely, 500 gardaí as of 21 June 2005, to deal with this situation across the country?
