Civil Registration (Amendment) Bill 2005 [Seanad]: Second Stage. (1 Jul 2005)

Liz McManus: Like Deputy Twomey, I wish the Ceann Comhairle, Members and staff a good summer. I promise that the Labour Party will return completely energised and ready to give the Government more grief on our return in the autumn. As I recall the Civil Registration Bill was published in 2003 and we had a full debate on it in 2004. It is hard to justify having to amend an Act that has not even commenced...

Civil Registration (Amendment) Bill 2005 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages. (1 Jul 2005)

Liz McManus: I appreciate my amendment was ruled out of order but I have a right to comment. I tabled the amendment in a great hurry and in circumstances which are now shown to have been unnecessary. The Minister of State said that the legal advice came in February or March. It is now the beginning of July and we only received the Bill yesterday. That shows the disregard and contempt this Government has...

Order of Business. (29 Sep 2005)

Liz McManus: Do not apologise, a Cheann Comhairle. I am delighted to be mistaken for somebody so much younger than myself. Does the Tánaiste believe it is acceptable to tell us that a good deal of legislation on the elderly will be brought forward when the programme of legislation before us does not indicate that will be the case?

Order of Business. (29 Sep 2005)

Liz McManus: It is misleading. We have a programme of legislation which refers to one Bill relating to the elderly. It concerns nursing home subventions, which is welcome, but that is all we have. Yesterday, I raised the very important issue of the repayments to elderly people who were robbed of money by the State over a lengthy period and who are getting older by the day. The Taoiseach was...
