Energy Resources: Motion. (7 Nov 2006)

Kathleen Lynch: At this stage in our development, I would have thought that the Society of St. Vincent de Paul should be out of business. Its philosophy is to put itself out of business when people no longer need its services. The society has said it will spend half its budget this year on ensuring that people have sufficient heat and will not die of hypothermia. If people cannot heat very humble homes in...

Energy Resources: Motion. (7 Nov 2006)

Kathleen Lynch: People are worried that they will not be able to afford to heat their homes or will not be able to afford the hot water needed to bath their children.

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31 (21 Nov 2006)

Kathleen Lynch: I have the feeling that all this might be falling on deaf ears. I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the serious crisis in regard to the compilation of the electoral register in Cork North-Central and other areas as a result of which thousands of people have been removed from the electoral register, including many who...

Housing Policy: Motion (21 Nov 2006)

Kathleen Lynch: I congratulate Deputy Gilmore on the motion and the excellent policy document he produced lately on housing in Ireland.

Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (23 Nov 2006)

Kathleen Lynch: Having listened to Deputy Twomey, I find it amazing that everyone has a different view on children and that one always believes one's own advice is the best and should be followed.

For example, I believe our current position on rights, scrutiny and inspectorates has been informed by our historical...
