Leaders' Questions (4 Jun 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: Last Friday, I was in the National Rehabilitation Hospital on Rochestown Avenue, which is in my constituency of Dún Laoghaire. I met there two young men, both of whom are paralysed from the neck down. In both cases the paralysis is the result of diving accidents.

Leaders' Questions (4 Jun 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: I thank the Taoiseach for agreeing to pursue the issue of the two unfortunate men involved. I hope that this will produce a result for them that has not been possible to achieve to date. My colleague, Deputy McManus, raised the issue on the Adjournment last week. In a case like that we should not have to ask the Prime Minister to resolve and address the issue. The case is not isolated. I...

This motion could have been similar to...

That would...

Fire Services. (4 Jun 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: I remember when this tragedy occurred. I live less than three miles from where the fire took place and I know the families concerned.
