Seymour Crawford: I want to raise three specific issues. First, thankfully, the industrial development Bill was given to us today. When will it be debated in the House?

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32 (27 Jan 2009)

Seymour Crawford: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national and local importance, namely, the continuing wind-down of Monaghan General Hospital despite the fact that no alternative arrangements are being made.

Child Protection: Motion (27 Jan 2009)

Seymour Crawford: I congratulate Deputy Shatter on bringing forward the motion. It is a scandal it had to be brought forward but not unexpected when one knows the way our systems work. It is shocking and disturbing to see what these six children have come through, and it is clear they suffered much abuse and many difficulties. Although they were attending school and were out in public, nobody cried stop....

Accident and Emergency Services. (28 Jan 2009)

Farm Waste Management. (28 Jan 2009)

Seymour Crawford: I thank the Minister for coming to the House. The payment of grants under the farm waste management scheme is an extremely important issue. In spite of a three-hour debate in the Dáil some months ago, the Minister refused to allow time for the people to finish the job, thus putting increased costs and pressures on the farmers concerned to have all the necessary paperwork in by 31 December...
