Marie Moloney: I welcome the Minister to the House and thank him for his presentation. Unfortunately, I have only one minute to speak. I could speak about many things but I shall stick to the point. I welcome the significant strengthening of the primary care services in the plan, including the GP visit card for long-term illness claimants.

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Feb 2012)

Marie Moloney: An escalating problem in Kerry and, I presume, all over Ireland is the noise and disturbance being caused by what are known as "boy racers" and, in some cases, "girl racers". This problem is being caused by young people in general. While I appreciate that these young people love their cars, do not drink and drive or take drugs this problem is causing fierce disturbance to the elderly,...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Feb 2012)

Marie Moloney: I wish to raise again the issue of medical cards and the delay in the issuing of same. In February, it was nearly impossible to get through on the line set up for Oireachtas Members. Only one person takes calls. It is easier to get through on the public line. There seems to be little or no communication between customer service and the processing team. Yesterday, I was told that an...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Feb 2012)

Marie Moloney: -----20 January has not been responded to yet. When I asked whether another e-mail could be sent, I was told that there was no point, as the previous one was still pending.

Documentation sent on 10 November has still not been matched to a file. Will the Leader...

Seanad: Wind Turbines Bill 2012: Second Stage (22 Feb 2012)

Marie Moloney: I am not opposed to wind turbines and the masts but I am opposed to their location. They are being located too near to people's houses. The Minister of State will be aware of the precautionary principle which was introduced in Europe to protect people's health but it is never applied. Every time a person appeals against the erection of masts under the precautionary principle, it is never...

Marie Moloney: The dial-to-stop telephone line, set up to fight the scourge of drug dealing in our communities, is now inactive.

Will the Leader ask the Minister for Justice and Equality to reinstate the...
