- Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Jun 2008)
Joe Carey: Historically we as Irish people have had a somewhat ambiguous relationship with alcohol and its impact on our society. There is a sneaking regard for a man that can hold his drink. We associate some of our great literary figures and their work with alcohol. Every Irish social occasion involves alcohol. In recent years we have developed as an economy. We develop and export software and...
- Victims' Rights Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Jun 2008)
Joe Carey: I wish to share my time with Deputies Ring and Shatter. The Victims Charter and Guide to the Criminal Justice System 1999 committed this State to giving victims of crime a central place in the criminal justice system, yet after nine years we are still waiting for legislative reform to establish these principles. Last week outside this Chamber we had much trumpeting from the Minister for...

- Victims' Rights Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Jun 2008)
Joe Carey: Is this paltry allocation supposed to keep quiet those who have requested this type of legislation over many years, those who feel it is not good enough to sail on with the occasional announcement of one of these "ground breaking initiatives"? This old style politics of throwing a few bob to people to keep them quiet and Government by press conference and perception is running down politics...

- Water and Sewerage Schemes. (3 Jul 2008)
Joe Carey: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing me to raise this most important issue. We have no records that Coleridge's ancient mariner ever made it as far as Ennis, but the refrain, "Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink", certainly gets one thinking. Some 30,000 people are dependent on the Ennis water supply, which services Ennis, Clarecastle, Barefield, Crusheen, Doora, Drumcliff...
- Juvenile Offenders. (8 Jul 2008)
Joe Carey: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I also welcome the progress made in respect of juvenile justice in latter years. The concerns regarding the proposed housing of juveniles in Thornton Hall are well founded. As a minimum, the proposed facilities should be delivered ahead of the Thornton Hall development. Given that the land is owned by the State and given its history, there...

- Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2008: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Jul 2008)
Joe Carey: I want to lend my support to the amendment put forward by Deputy Flanagan. As a young person who regularly frequents night clubs, I must say that this Bill could do great damage to the entertainment industry and will effectively lock the door on night clubs at a particular time. That will force young people out onto the street. If this amendment is not accepted, the Minister will be...
