Order of Business (20 Jan 2010)

James Reilly: The prescription Bill, which will hit the elderly, the sick and the vulnerable, is quite reflective of the Government's priorities, while the drugs referencing Bill is back on white page in Section C, at No. 71. Can the Taoiseach explain to the people of Ireland why he is showing such enthusiasm and urgency to nail the most vulnerable in this society in order to save €25 million? If he...

James Reilly: I refer to an item of pending legislation, the environment (miscellaneous provisions) Bill.

James Reilly: I would like to raise two issues. The human tissue Bill is listed on section C of the Government's programme. We are spending large sums of money on a transplant programme that is not delivering. We have low numbers of lung transplants. Young people with cystic fibrosis are dying unnecessarily. We are pouring money into this programme. The Bill in question has yet to come before the...

Order of Business (21 Jan 2010)

James Reilly: There is a need for an urgent review of our transplant operations because our figures are appallingly low. When will that Bill come before the House?

Civil Partnership Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Jan 2010)

James Reilly: I am very pleased to contribute to this debate and I congratulate the Government on bringing this Bill forward. I know that some speakers do not feel it goes far enough, but it is useful to remind ourselves from whence we have come.
