Land and Conveyancing Law Reform (Review of Rent in Certain Cases) (Amendment) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: That is old L & H society nonsense from the Minister and has no place in a serious debate.

Land and Conveyancing Law Reform (Review of Rent in Certain Cases) (Amendment) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Will the Minister allow the Bill through tonight, proceed to Committee Stage and then we can all put our legal advice on the table to address it? If the Minister is right, we will withdraw the legislation. However, if there is some prospect of this forming a basis of giving some relief to people, at least it will have done some good.

Order of Business (11 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I support Deputy Kenny's proposal that the House sit until 6.45 p.m. in order to hear from the Minister for Health and Children, or some other Minister, and to have questions answered about the additional information we received since yesterday about what has happened in Tallaght hospital. I am supporting this proposal in the first instance because the Government has a separate proposal on...

Order of Business (11 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: It is incredible. What is going on there? It is one thing to have queues and waiting lists and the worry associated with that, but that a GP's letter should go to the hospital and nobody opens the envelope is utterly incredible. We must have answers to this. I see in news reports-----

Order of Business (11 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I have a question for the Ceann Comhairle. Am I out of order?

Order of Business (11 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I am entitled to make a comment and to make an observation on the Government's proposal for the ordering of business in the House today and that is what I am doing. To underline it, I am not making a Second Stage speech because there is no Second Stage.

Order of Business (11 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: -----where people go to their doctor, the doctor refers them to a hospital and no one at the hospital even opens the letter, and, moreover, even when they do get an X-ray, the consultant radiologist does not see it. There are 14,000 patients whose X-rays have still not been looked at by a consultant radiologist in that hospital and we do not know when they will be looked at. Where is the...

Order of Business (11 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: It is an absolute scandal.

Order of Business (11 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I oppose the Tánaiste's proposal that the House should adjourn until 23 March. This adjournment, we are led to believe, is to facilitate Government Ministers travelling abroad to represent Ireland on St. Patrick's Day. It is a good thing that Ministers represent Ireland on St. Patrick's day and that we maximise the opportunities it gives us to promote the country.

Order of Business (11 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: St. Patrick's Day, however, is one day and at best, St. Patrick's Day events are organised for a couple of days around it. We now have a Minister, however, who is on a visit to New Zealand for two weeks on an itinerary that according to the newspapers today reads more like "The Lord of the Rings" trail than it does like a State visit; the only thing missing is dinner hosted by Bilbo Baggins....

Order of Business (11 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: In another report it is stated that some staff in the Department have little or nothing to do while colleagues are overwhelmed with work but management appears reluctant to deal with the problems. It is one thing to have the country represented abroad on St. Patrick's Day but the abuse of that on this occasion is not acceptable and it is not acceptable to the Labour Party that the House...
