Public Health (Tobacco)(Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2009)

James Reilly: I move amendment No. 10: In page 5, before section 4, to insert the following new section: 4.—Any approved signage regarding age restrictions on the sale of tobacco products, or any other matter, must be approved by the Department of Health and Children and must not carry the colour scheme of tobacco brands on the market. I alluded to this earlier. This is a ploy of the manufacturers to...

Public Health (Tobacco)(Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2009)

James Reilly: I have no problem if the Bill covers these signs and I will happily withdraw the amendment but I refer the Minister of State to the last paragraph of the letter from the Irish Heart Foundation, which states: However it has come to our charity's attention that retail outlets are indeed carrying a second sign clearly designed to attract the attention of young people. This is yet another...

James Reilly: I move amendment No. 11: In page 5, between lines 41 and 42, to insert the following: "(1A) The display of genuine antique (not reproduction) signs will be permitted in licensed premises as long as the brand/product in no longer available.". The purpose of this Bill is to prevent the advertising of cigarettes, which we fully support. My amendment refers to antique signs for tobacco products...

Public Health (Tobacco)(Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2009)

James Reilly: We may have close ties but I cannot imagine that our influence extends to creating law in countries outside our jurisdiction, although we will of course try to influence European law. I accept Deputy Ó Caoláin's concerns but I do not think there are any implications per se because the alternative is that no signs, antique or otherwise are displayed. I am trying to ensure that a genuine...

Public Health (Tobacco)(Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2009)

James Reilly: I am not happy about the use of reproductions. That is my concern. If one has the right to create a reproduction, and it might not be a direct reproduction but be tweaked, ever so slightly, the tobacco companies will use that loophole. I would like to press the amendment.

Order of Business (24 Sep 2009)

James Reilly: What about the increases in social welfare?

Order of Business (24 Sep 2009)

James Reilly: Will the Tánaiste answer the question put to her by Deputy Varadkar vis-À-vis the accuracy of the social welfare provision? Is there to be an increase?

Order of Business (24 Sep 2009)

James Reilly: In that event, is the description of the legislation accurate? The Tánaiste will be aware that there has been a 70% increase in delayed discharges in our hospitals. This primarily relates to the fact that the fair deal is yet to emerge. When will the relevant legislation, which has been passed by the House, be implemented? People are hanging on by their fingernails and our hospitals are...

James Reilly: Prior to last Christmas I raised in this House the plight of thousands of unemployed people in Balbriggan which has no social welfare office and of unemployed people in Swords who have to stand in long queues in the rain outside the social welfare office there. It is almost Christmas again and there is still no social welfare office in Balbriggan. The Minister promised me this matter would...

Departmental Staff. (7 Oct 2009)

James Reilly: Why no action? Why is there still no social welfare office in Balbriggan almost 12 months later?
