Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy. (26 Jan 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I join in the tributes to the late Eileen Desmond and extend the sympathy of the Sinn Féin Deputies to her family and her Labour Party colleagues. As has already been acknowledged by a number of speakers, she played a pioneering role as a woman in high political office. I am aware of the high regard in which she was held in her constituency and in the rest of County Cork. This, of course,...

On behalf of the Sinn Féin Members, I wish to record my support for the motion that has been proposed in the names of the Independent Deputies. This is a timely motion, sadly.

Accident and Emergency Services: Motion. (26 Jan 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The Tánaiste's comments, which are an example of pure Progressive Democrats ideology, have been reflected in several pronouncements made by her and her colleagues, indicating a growing trend towards the privatisation of the health service.
