- Health Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Dec 2008)
John Moloney: I am just referring to the issues that were raised. It was asked what would be the outcome of this measure for people with properties. To reiterate what the Minister, Deputy Harney, has already stated, this Bill gives effect to the Government's commitment not to impute income from property. For the purpose of assessing gross income under this Bill, income will not be imputed from any...

- Written Answers — Medical Cards: Medical Cards (11 Dec 2008)
John Moloney: I propose to take Questions Nos. 90 and 108 together. The pre budget submission sought the provision of medical cards to all amputees. I have no plans to provide for the granting of medical cards to any particular group as a whole. Medical cards are made available by the Health Service Executive (HSE) to persons and their dependants who would otherwise experience undue hardship in meeting the...

Under the Multi Annual Investment Programme additional funding of â¬75m was allocated in both...

- Children in Care. (16 Dec 2008)
John Moloney: I do not believe there is any need for the Deputy to raise the medical card issue again; the House knows his position on that matter. He should not rehearse all that again, since he changes his position so often. My position is very definite. I am making the very direct response to the effect that he should have known this because he attended the committee meeting recently at which HIQA...

John Moloney: I apologise to the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. The Deputy finds it difficult to be reminded of things that happened six months ago.
