- Seanad: Leas Cross Nursing Home Report: Statements (29 Nov 2006)
Brendan Ryan: Clearly, if one wants to do something about standards and is waiting for 23 years, one does not need to carry out a consultation process. The Department is full of reports, suggestions, memoranda, lobby submissions, etc., all outlining what people want. It is a smokescreen to cover up monumental ineptitude, inexplicable and unforgivable delays, and a classical Department of Health and...
- Seanad: Order of Business (30 Nov 2006)

- Seanad: Order of Business (6 Dec 2006)
Brendan Ryan: With regard to at least half, if not two thirds, of those in prison, we are not being protected from them because they are no threat to us.

We should be prepared to examine this report, which was produced by UCD with the co-operation of the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the...
