Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Facilities (21 Nov 2018)

Imelda Munster: That was some response. What it tells us is that the Minister is happy for plans, which have been in place for ten years, for an extension to the emergency department to proceed under his watch without an X-ray room. It is like building a house without a roof. How can the Minister stand over this? The Minister of State's reply was typical HSE spiel. He mentioned the 29 beds. They are...

Imelda Munster: I thank the officials for their attendance. It is somewhat disappointing that the Minister, Deputy Ross, is not here. I welcome the regulations in regard to non-motorised rickshaws.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of Taxi Regulation (Amendment) (Rickshaw) Bill 2018: Discussion (28 Nov 2018)

Imelda Munster: Going back to the motorised rickshaw for personal use, my question was how one determines that. I do not know of anyone who would buy a rickshaw for personal use. They might have a car. How does one determine, monitor or enforce? If one is going to stop somebody, the first thing he or she will say is that it is for personal use. How does one determine whether there is someone beside them...
