Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (24 Jun 2009)

James Reilly: Likewise, while I accept there is a serious issue that has to be dealt with, I am concerned that rushed legislation will be poor legislation which we will have to revisit. I too am concerned that, despite telephone calls, I have not been able to consult with the sort of people I would like to have been able to consult, such as the Mental Health Coalition. I know my colleague, Deputy Dan...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (24 Jun 2009)

James Reilly: Another week will not give rise to tumultuous events. We could avoid rushing this legislation through and consult with the various bodies that should be consulted. This is important legislation. I acknowledge there is an issue and that it must be addressed. Professionals would acknowledge that as well. However, input on the needs of patients, as represented through Amnesty International,...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (24 Jun 2009)

James Reilly: Yes, but the concern is that a private individual who might own an institution for the care of the psychiatrically unwell, run by doctors, may enter into an arrangement with other private individuals who are agents to do this work. There is a big loophole there, with much room for problems and trouble, if we do not specify the standards in legislation and if it is not regulated by...

Children's Hospital Funding: Motion (Resumed) (24 Jun 2009)

James Reilly: I want Deputy White and her Green Party to look at this issue tonight. I want them and their colleagues in Fianna Fáil to realise what their vote would mean to families, to patients such as Dakota Rudd and Carol Ann Walsh and to Conor Coughlan, who is in the Visitors Gallery tonight. I welcome him and his mum and dad, Con and Mary. I salute his courage. I can look these people in the...

Children's Hospital Funding: Motion (Resumed) (24 Jun 2009)

James Reilly: -----for a place to die and denying young girls a life saving cervical cancer vaccine are political decisions. Now, the Government wants to delay life saving surgery for children.

It is a test for...
