Leaders' Questions (29 Apr 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: I want to pursue this issue a little further with the Tánaiste, not least because Loughlinstown hospital is in my constituency. The county coroner examined the case of 16 deaths and concluded that the C. diff infection was the direct cause in five and a contributory factor in another five. Loughlinstown is not the only example of this. As Deputy Kenny said, earlier this month we had the...

Leaders' Questions (29 Apr 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: Dr. O'Shea stated that a microbiologist was needed. He was not trying to explain the problem away. We all acknowledge that Dr. O'Shea and his colleagues in the hospital are doing their best to get the problem under control. The Tánaiste's argument that there will still be hospital infections even if there are microbiologists is a bit like saying that people still get sick after they visit...

Leaders' Questions (29 Apr 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: Why was this appointment not made? Why have there been 16 deaths, ten of which were related to hospital infections that were either brought into the hospital or contracted there? When will a microbiologist be appointed to help the hospital deal with the problem?

Order of Business (29 Apr 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: I substantially agree with what Deputy Kenny stated. Like Fine Gael, the Labour Party supports this treaty and the referendum, notwithstanding the political differences we have with Government on day-to-day matters. The poll at the weekend accurately reflects the response we are getting. There is a combination of lack of information and misinformation which is causing a reluctance among...

Order of Business (29 Apr 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: On 3 April 2008, the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government told the Irish Planning Institute that he intended to bring in new legislation to tax the windfall gains made by landowners and property developers, that he believed the Attorney General had found a way around the constitutional difficulties with such windfall taxes and that such a measure now had the backing of...

Order of Business (29 Apr 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: The Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government promised it in Westport. He promised that this legislation would be introduced. The Taoiseach, to be fair to him, seemed to agree on 8 April because he said this would be in the property services regulatory authority Bill which would be brought in this session. Perhaps we might return to it when the Tánaiste has an...

Leaders' Questions (30 Apr 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: Did the Tánaiste see the RTE "Prime Time" programme last night about homeless people? If not, I recommend that he take a look at it. The programme showed that seven homeless persons died in this city over Easter. It showed the reporter on the programme trying to make telephone contact with the 24-hour emergency homeless service. He started ringing it at 10 p.m. but did not get through...
