Citizens Information Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages (14 Dec 2006)

Dan Boyle: I move amendment No. 11: In page 13, line 45, to delete "3" and substitute "4". On Committee Stage, the Minister undertook to come back on this important issue, but I am not sure whether he has reconsidered his position.

Health Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Jan 2007)

Dan Boyle: The Bill has been described in this Chamber as reforming legislation, but unfortunately it is reactive legislation.

Dan Boyle: The Minister will be aware that the Motorola factory is sited in our shared constituency. However, its 350 workers come from all the Cork city and county constituencies and hence the interest of two other Cork colleagues this evening. I would still argue that the effect will be greatest in our constituency. More of the workers come from Cork South-Central and should the Motorola company...
