I also wish to condemn the callous murder of the young Detective Garda, Adrian Donohoe, in the line of duty. In Cork University Hospital and Beaumont Hospital a two-bedroom unit and four-bedroom unit, respectively, remain closed for epilepsy services. The unit...

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Feb 2013)

Marie Moloney: I add my voice to the tributes being paid to Senator McAleese and wish him all the best in his future endeavours. I also wish to raise the issue raised recently by Senator O'Donovan, namely, the fact that another factory has been identified as a source of products containing equine DNA. The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine must act quickly on this matter. I know he has...

Seanad: Order of Business: Motion (5 Feb 2013)

Marie Moloney: I thank Senators Norris, Quinn and Barrett for bringing forward the motion. Far be it from me to tell Members what to do as I am only here a wet week compared to other Members, but it surprises me that this matter has not been dealt with after 25 years. It is most annoying to watch a Member raise a matter on the Order of Business and not stay on for the reply. At one point, the Leader...

Seanad: Private Rented Sector: Statements (6 Feb 2013)

Marie Moloney: I welcome the Minister of State to the House and her commitment to the deposit protection scheme. More than ¤30 million was paid by the Department of Social Protection in rent deposits for social welfare recipients between 2006 and 2012. Many of the deposits could come between ¤500 and ¤1,000 but sometimes they were even higher. Normally, deposits are refunded at the end of the tenancy...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Pension Charges: Discussion with Department of Social Protection (6 Feb 2013)

Marie Moloney: I was making a contribution in the Seanad so I missed most of the proceedings up to now. I will not pose many questions because I am sure most of the points have been covered. I can read through the transcripts in order to bring myself up to speed. It may not come within the Department's remit, but what is the position with regard to people such as those who worked for Waterford Glass,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Habitual Residence Condition: Discussion with Pavee Point (6 Feb 2013)

Marie Moloney: I congratulate Pavee Point on its work. Pavee Point is probably one of the best known names in the country. I can assure Ms Curran its reputation extends all over Ireland. Ms Curran referred to a needs policy. In this respect, she is correct. We really need to know who to focus on, where they are and their needs. The habitual residency clause causes problems, not only for the Roma but...

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Feb 2013)

Marie Moloney: I, too, welcome the talks that are taking place between the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste and Justice for Magdelenes. It seems that it is women and children who suffer at the hands of the institutions in this country. For example, the victims of symphysiotomy are still waiting for their report and the Magdelene laundry sufferers are awaiting an apology. That apology is inevitable. No doubt...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Water and Sewerage Schemes (12 Feb 2013)

Marie Moloney: I am absolutely delighted the Minister is present to deal personally with this issue and did not send anybody else to take his place. I know I have him plagued about the saga of the Kilcummin sewerage scheme as I raise it with him on the corridors and everywhere I meet him. This is a very important issue. Kilcummin is located just outside Killarney and the saga of the provision of the...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Water and Sewerage Schemes (12 Feb 2013)

Marie Moloney: When will funding be made available for this scheme? It seems to me from the Minister's response that the issue has gone back to Kerry County Council but according to Kerry County Council everything is in order at its end. Why has the issue gone back again to Kerry County Council? The funding was made available and it was accepted. The Department asked for a revised figures and that was...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Ms Phil Prendergast, MEP. (13 Feb 2013)

Marie Moloney: I thank Ms Prendergast and welcome her to the Chamber. I bet when she was a Senator she never thought some day she would be sitting in the ministerial chair in the Seanad, but I say, "Well done." As agreed, each spokesperson has five minutes, with a contribution from Sinn Féin of two minutes, following which Ms Prendergast will respond. Then there will be questions from other Senators....
