- Health Services. (5 Jun 2008)
James Reilly: The Minister of State has not really answered the question. The group has met and the report is completed, yet nothing is happening. Is the Minister aware that diabetic eye disease is present in up to 50% of persons with type two diabetes by the time they present for diagnosis? Did the Minister see the "Prime Time" programme during the week which detailed how a young girl has lost one eye...
- Health Services. (5 Jun 2008)
James Reilly: My understanding is that the report was completed last September. Is the Minister of State saying that is not the case or is she saying that, despite being completed last September, the HSE has only received it now? Perhaps she will correct the record of the House for me. I understood the report was completed last September. I agree it will be an excellent model of care but "will" is an...
- Health Services. (5 Jun 2008)
James Reilly: It is clear that Government policy, as promised, is meaningless. The bureaucrats in the HSE are left to determine how health policy is enacted and that is why we are in the mess in which we find ourselves. Frankenstein's monster is out of control and its creator has walked away from it.

- Road Network. (17 Jun 2008)
James Reilly: The Minister will agree that the proposed port at Bremore cannot go ahead without this route as Balbriggan people have suffered greatly from overdevelopment without infrastructure. I am sure the Minister will also agree that, in this case, integral simultaneous development must take place. In light of the previous speaker's comments, I hope it is the Minister who speaks. He should give a...
- Order of Business (17 Jun 2008)
James Reilly: On the same issue, I have asked about this repeatedly since before Christmas and the Taoiseach has finally informed us that it probably will not be before the House before the summer recess. I respect his honesty but I would equally respectfully ask him and the Minister sitting beside him, the Minister for Health and Children, to bring in some interim measure to give people relief. They...

- Dublin Transport Authority Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (17 Jun 2008)
James Reilly: Very good. I can talk a little more slowly therefore and maybe the Minister will not only understand me, but also take on board what I say. The Indecon report, which was presented recently to Fingal County Council, stated that the metro north project had the ability to deliver 67,000 jobs to north Dublin. In answering questions earlier, the Minister said that the project remains on line...
- Prison Building Programme: Motion (Resumed) (17 Jun 2008)
James Reilly: I thank the Whip for that. I have before me Patients not Prisoners, a report on the Central Mental Hospital round table meeting on 30 January 2008. I intend to read why it is opposed to the Central Mental Hospital being located adjacent to a prison. This is something I spoke out about even during the last general election. It is wrong, retrograde, impinges on people's rights and...
- Prison Building Programme: Motion (Resumed) (17 Jun 2008)
James Reilly: I thank both the Ceann Comhairle and the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. It is unusual to have the opportunity to thank both of them simultaneously. I have already mentioned to the Minister the antipathy to this plan from a very august group, the Central Mental Hospital Roundtable Meeting and the Mental Hospital Carers' Group. I shall mention later the participants who comprise a formidable range of...
- Prison Building Programme: Motion (Resumed) (17 Jun 2008)
James Reilly: The Minister referred to counsellors and nurses. Will they be employed by the Health Service Executive or Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, given that the former is operating a recruitment ban? On the Central Mental Hospital, I cited the arguments made by a number of robust organisations. What does the Minister have to say to them? Is he taking on board their arguments or...
