Order of Business (20 Jan 2010)

Jan O'Sullivan: I raised this issue last year and some measures were taken thereafter. It is urgent, however, that further controls are imposed on head shops. Young people are buying substances which are clearly causing them damage. While the Minister responded relatively quickly on the issue of magic mushrooms, an urgent response is also required on this matter.

Order of Business (20 Jan 2010)

Jan O'Sullivan: Deputies Ó Caoláin and Reilly raised the matter of important reforming health legislation that is put on the long finger. Another matter is the nurses and midwives Bill, which was supposed to be published as a priority in the last session.

Order of Business (21 Jan 2010)
