Seanad: Hospital Services (20 Jan 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: I thank the Minister of State and wish to clarify that I indulged him with a little more time as he was imparting real information to Members. I regret it is necessary to suspend the House for five minutes as the Minister of State, Deputy Mansergh, who is taking the next two Adjournment debates is caught in a division in the other House. I ask the Acting Leader to suspend the House for five...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: I remind Senator Bacik of the one cohort of people she forget to compliment when she was talking about the success of the dublinbikes scheme. The good people of Dublin have made the scheme a success and also visitors such as Senator Ned O'Sullivan who have become members of the scheme and without this support the scheme would not be the success it is. I wish to echo what Senator Bacik said...

Seanad: Petroleum (Exploration and Extraction) Safety Bill 2010: Second Stage (28 Jan 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: I welcome the Minister, who is prolific. He is frequently in the Chamber dealing with legislation under all his banners. I want to discuss a different element of this Bill. On Second Stage, people choose the area of a subject they want to deal with specifically, and I will deal with offshore licences because the word "extraction" appears in the Bill's title. I know the Minister is dealing...

These are not in conflict with each other. Any of these amendments that have already been discussed are not negated by the fact that ones that have come previous to it have been agreed. We are about to approach one, in amendments Nos. 33 and...

Seanad: Energy (Biofuel Obligation and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (9 Feb 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: I welcome the Minister and the Bill. We have had a useful debate. Senator Quinn, in particular, has highlighted many of the concerns people have. I sought a similar measure to the current one in an Adjournment debate in 2004. This measure was mooted in previous Finance Acts but now it is being put into legislative form. Since that time, there have been changes in the bio-fuel sector. I...

Seanad: Youth Unemployment: Motion (10 Feb 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: I thank my Labour Party colleague for sharing his time. More importantly, I thank him and his party colleagues for raising this issue, the consideration of which needs a good deal of time. A lot of our energy in dealing with the economy has been spent on addressing the banking crisis, which has also been necessary. As Senator Ryan said, unemployment is a scourge and it is truly appalling...

Seanad: Cancer Awareness: Statements (17 Feb 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: I thank Senator Feeney for sharing time because otherwise I would not have had time to contribute. I will be brief. Like Senator Feeney, when the young children came into the Gallery some minutes ago I was struck by how many of them will end up smoking and what would make them smoke. I cannot understand anyone of my generation who smokes because we are very aware of the health issues...
