Seanad: Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed). (7 Apr 2004)

Sheila Terry: I wish to speak to my amendment No. 4. I support Senator Henry's amendments which seek that the Bill use the modern term "mental disorder" rather than "insanity". The Bill should be updated in every possible given that many years have passed since it was first drafted. It needs to be modernised. The definition of mental disorder is central to the legislation. I am concerned that the...

Seanad: Report of National Advisory Committee on Drugs: Statements. (28 Apr 2004)

Sheila Terry: I welcome the Minister of State to discuss this important report and the problems associated with drugs.

Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Apr 2004)

Sheila Terry: Pension provision has, correctly, been widely discussed in recent years. Occasionally, however, the pensions industry produces a crazy idea to encourage people to take out pensions. In recent days, the craziest proposal of all emerged from the Irish Insurance Federation. I understand the federation has met or will meet the Minister for Social and Family Affairs this week to discuss its idea...

Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Apr 2004)

Sheila Terry: Yes. The Minister should dismiss the proposal for parents to fund their babies' pensions at a time when they are trying to pay a mortgage and numerous other expenses and perhaps fund education, or grandparents funding their grandchildren's pensions when their own pensions are inadequate due to mismanagement.

I have no difficulty with the amendments outlined today. At the time of Mr. Justice Flood's resignation, the leader of the Fine Gael Party, Deputy Kenny, asked that this Bill be brought forward. It is regrettable that it took the Government six months to...
