Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31. (16 Feb 2006)

Jerry Cowley: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, when the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children will take action to stop the killing of innocent people by unregulated and unscrupulous alternative practitioners; the actions she intends to take to regulate alternative practitioners as has been promised for years; and to...

Order of Business. (16 Feb 2006)

Jerry Cowley: I refer to care of the elderly and what was discussed yesterday, namely the defined revenue funding scheme. Approximately €500,000 was given initially but it was not increased. A sum of €2.5 million is needed to take the 20% of people out of nursing homes who do not need to be there. That could be done very cheaply and I ask the Tánaiste to examine that matter. A report, which has...

Order of Business. (16 Feb 2006)

EU Directives. (16 Feb 2006)

Jerry Cowley: I congratulate the Minister of State, Deputy Mary Wallace, on her appointment. While we are very good Europeans, we sometimes jump in as we did in the case of the habitats directive when we designated too many areas. Given that this directive would criminalise farmers and would do considerable damage, would the Minister agree in retrospect that the Teagasc advice, which was meant as a...

Energy Resources. (21 Feb 2006)

Jerry Cowley: I am puzzled by the Minister's reply as he states the mediation process is ongoing. The Minister knows the mediation process is scuppered as it was he who scuppered it. When it began, the Minister appeared on "Morning Ireland" and stated he had appointed a person agreeable to both sides to mediate between them and that he would leave the matter to the person and the sides to agree the format...

Energy Resources. (21 Feb 2006)

Jerry Cowley: The Minister stated on Mid-West Radio that he never presented mediation as anything except a very wide process. The Minister has consequently scuppered the entire process.

On 4 October, he stated: Following the debates, I contacted both sides in an effort to break the impasse and indicated to them that the Government would appoint a...
