Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2010 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (7 Jul 2010)

James Reilly: I support these amendments. I wish to refer to some of the points made by the Minister in response to issues raised on this side of the House. I spoke about individuals who may be away from home, on holiday or business elsewhere in the country, and have to renew their prescriptions.

Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2010 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (7 Jul 2010)

Cystic Fibrosis Services: Statements (7 Jul 2010)

James Reilly: I thank the Minister for coming to the House at this late hour. We again find ourselves in a situation where promises were made but were not kept. There can be all the excuses in the world but the reality for the patients is that they will continue to suffer. In April 2009, Fine Gael brought forward a Private Members' motion seeking the construction of the cystic fibrosis unit at St....

Cystic Fibrosis Services: Statements (7 Jul 2010)
