Seanad: Order of Business. (18 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: Aontaím go hiomlán le tuairim na Seanadóirí O'Toole agus Ó Murchú mar gheall ar an Ghaeilge. A matter which has been brought to my attention on more than one occasion pertains to credit card fraud and fraud at ATM machines. I ask the Acting Leader to arrange a debate as soon as possible to exhort the financial institutions to arrange for greater security for cash card users. There is...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I support the call for a debate on decentralisation. I will have many good things to say about it. I wish to raise a matter which I have raised on a number of occasions. Each day we see coverage in the media of the number of unprovoked attacks that are occurring in our towns and cities, as well as the increasing use of guns and the ongoing use of knives. I also raised on three occasions what...

Seanad: Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: This is one of the more important Bills to come before this House in my seven years as a Member. Professional qualifications should be jealously guarded. These are people who have gone through the rigours of studying for anything up to seven years to attain a professional title. This Bill is designed to protect those titles. Apart from the 12 professional groupings mentioned therein, the...

Seanad: Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I appreciate the Senators' attempt to ensure that what should obtain will obtain but when the boards are set up they will all be on a statutory footing. No one will blow the whistle as quickly as a member of a profession who sees another member bringing it into disrepute. That is my experience and it will surely obtain in this instance. I have every confidence in all the professions, not...

Seanad: Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I support what the Minister of State said. I have been aware of physical therapists and from what I know of them theirs is a stand-alone profession, as is physiotherapy, podiatry andchiropody. Although some areas may need to be clarified, section 4 will enable other professional groups to be brought within the scope of the Act, which I welcome. I believe this also reflects the Minister of...

Seanad: Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I am satisfied by the Minister of State's assertion that Senators' concerns will be addressed. Any group which is not included in the specified 12 and which has its house in order — of which there are a number, to which the Minister of State referred — does not have anything to worry about. All such a group has to do is prove its members have the level of expertise, proficiency, training...

Seanad: Order of Business. (8 Dec 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I support the position of An Post workers. Last Monday evening I and a number of my elected colleagues from north Westmeath met the communications' workers. A significant void exists between what is being printed in the newspapers by An Post and the situation on the ground. It is my understanding that An Post will be meeting the Joint Committee on Communications, Marine and Natural Resources....

Seanad: Health Bill 2004: Second Stage. (10 Dec 2004)

Camillus Glynn: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. There is no tougher or more important challenge facing society than the reform of the health system. We want to transform it through investment and reform and to deliver lasting progress. Improvement of the health service is a priority of this Government and over recent years funding has been increased significantly. The increased spending from €3...

Seanad: Health Bill 2004: Second Stage. (10 Dec 2004)

Camillus Glynn: Something must be done about the problems in accident and emergency services. The Midland Health Board recruited three new consultants, one of whom is based in Mullingar. If people go to Mullingar, Carlow, Portlaoise or wherever, get boozed up to the gills, get involved in a rumpus and require accident and emergency services in Portlaoise, Tullamore, Mullingar or wherever, cause disruption...

Seanad: Health Bill 2004: Second Stage. (10 Dec 2004)

Camillus Glynn: Special provision should be made for this. We cannot have people disrupting accident and emergency departments. It is almost as bad in a different way in the psychiatric services. This is a crazy scene. We have the best trained people in Europe in all our hospitals, yet we have gougers, and I do not apologise for the term, going in who are boozed up to the gills and creating mayhem. This...

Seanad: Health Bill 2004: Committee Stage. (14 Dec 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I do not agree with Senator O'Meara for a number of reasons. My experience of elected members of the Labour Party, locally and nationally, is that they advocated the abolition of the health boards for as long as I remember.

Seanad: Health Bill 2004: Committee Stage. (14 Dec 2004)
