- Seanad: Medical Practitioners (Amendment) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Sep 2014)
David Cullinane: I welcome the Minister to the House. I gather it is his first time here since his recent appointment, or perhaps not, but it is the first time I have seen him. I commend Senator Burke on proposing a similar Bill some time ago. It was not accepted but the substance of what he proposed at the time is largely in this Bill. He deserves credit for his work on this issue and for bringing this...
- Seanad: Medical Practitioners (Amendment) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Sep 2014)
David Cullinane: We welcome this Bill. For many people, it seems strange that such a system was not in place already, and people have been surprised to learn that it was not. I imagine the current status whereby medical professionals have no legal obligation to have adequate medical indemnity insurance seems strange to the vast majority of citizens. Under this Bill, medical practitioners must ensure they...
- Seanad: Civil Registration (Amendment) Bill 2014: Report and Final Stages (24 Sep 2014)
David Cullinane: I wish to speak to the content of amendment No. 4. I agree with much of what Senator Walsh said but I cannot support amendments Nos. 1, 2 and 3. I do not think they are nuanced enough in the first instance and I would also be reluctant to get into a debate about the definition of the unborn child as well in the context of this Bill. I know the Minister has been lobbied and we certainly...

- Seanad: Order of Business (30 Sep 2014)
David Cullinane: I second the Fianna Fáil amendment to the Order of Business. I agree that the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht should come before the House today but in reality the Taoiseach should come before the House. Last week the Taoiseach stated that he took personal responsibility for what has become a fiasco in regard to the Seanad by-election. If the Taoiseach was taking...

As this is the...

David Cullinane: I move amendment No. 18: In page 166, line 28, after "on" to insert "and managed and controlled".This was dealt with on Committee Stage but the two amendments tabled are another attempt to strengthen protection for employees. As the Minister of State knows from his previous role as Chairman of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, there has been a plethora of...
