- Seanad: Situation in Gaza and Ukraine: Statements (31 Jul 2014)
David Cullinane: I welcome the Minister and echo his words to the effect that this is a welcome opportunity for Senators to take part in the debate on this matter. I appeal to him to support a recall of the Dáil. If, as has been stated, this is a welcome opportunity for Senators, then Members of the Lower House should also be given the chance to have their say on the appalling human catastrophe taking...
- Seanad: Situation in Gaza and Ukraine: Statements (31 Jul 2014)
David Cullinane: We should be supporting a peace process which, with respect, is about justice, but the Minister knows that there will be no justice, peace process or peace unless there is justice for the Palestinian people.

- Seanad: Order of Business (17 Sep 2014)

We could raise a whole range of issues but the change in health policy by the Government is one that most merits debate in the House. The big ideas and plans for health reform of the former Minister, Deputy Reilly, have been turned on their head by the current Minister,...

David Cullinane: Fianna Fáil is in favour of water charges.
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Sep 2014)
David Cullinane: I seek a debate on the introduction of water charges. It is quite obvious from the summer months that the public will be asked to pay more for water than was previously anticipated and that the annual charge will be greater than what was presented by the Minister when we had very lengthy debates in this House on the water services legislation. The way the Government has gone about this is...
- Seanad: Order of Business (23 Sep 2014)
David Cullinane: Last week I sought debates on two important issues. The first was the Government's health policy, given the signal by the Minister that there seems to be some change in the Government's overall vision for health care and the practicalities of implementing Government policy on health care, and the second concerned water charges, given the confusion that still exists over the charges, how the...

David Cullinane: Last week I requested that we have a debate on water charges. The Leader said yesterday that we had had plenty of time last year when the Water Services (No. 2) Bill was before the House to debate these issues. I do not accept that, because circumstances have changed since then, but also, during those lengthy debates, we were given an assurance by the then Minister of State that this House...
