- Seanad: Order of Business (5 Jul 2016)
Frank Feighan: Coming from the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly plenary over the last two days, the Brexit issue is of huge importance to this country, the UK and to Europe. I am disappointed that an all-Ireland forum has not been set up both North and South to address the implications of this serious issue. It has gone unnoticed in this Chamber, but the North-South Interparliamentary Association has...

- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Disablement Benefit (7 Jul 2016)
Frank Feighan: I wish to establish how many Arigna miners who suffered work-related illness have received compensation to date and how many of those who have applied have yet to receive compensation. In 2010 the National Coal Miners Group secured agreement that the Department of Health would extend disablement benefit to former miners suffering from the prescribed occupational disease pneumoconiosis,...
- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Disablement Benefit (7 Jul 2016)
Frank Feighan: I appreciate the response. I am concerned that the small number of cases awaiting assessment by the medical assessor would be dealt with as quickly as possible and that the Department has enough staff to deal with the applications. These were hardy men who worked in very difficult times and who provided for their communities through the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. This work-related...
- Seanad: Order of Business (7 Jul 2016)
Frank Feighan: In 2012 the European Court of Justice made a landmark decision that obliged the United Kingdom to grant a free fuel allowance to those who lived or worked in the United Kingdom and had been born before 5 July 1951. There was no means test imposed in respect of qualified. One of the only times I received thanks in this country was from the tens of thousands of Irish people who lived and...
- Seanad: Order of Business (12 Jul 2016)
Frank Feighan: I read with interest last week the proposals of the steering group on trauma care to scale back some of the accident and emergency departments. I very much welcome a debate on all aspects of this in the Chamber. I would prefer to bring all the stakeholders as well as politicians around. I saw five years ago the heat generated by such a proposal in Roscommon. Nobody wanted to listen to...
