Seanad: Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed) (25 Feb 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I thank the Minister. As an aside, I must indicate that I made a suggestion to the Minister and his response is extremely reasonable. I am concerned with one matter which has some form of correlation to this section of the Bill. I refer to the theft of small thoroughbred dogs. These animals are being stolen and then sold on at car boot sales. I want a stop to be put to such behaviour.

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Mar 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I strongly agree with Senator O'Toole on yesterday's court case. It has sent depravity to a new depth. It goes to prove the family in question was let down by all and sundry – the social services, school authorities and their neighbours. It also proves that where the safety and welfare of children is concerned, everyone should be cast in the role of a nosey parker. I would welcome the...

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Mar 2010)

Camillus Glynn: There were several requests by hospital and nurse management for the upgrading of facilities at St. Loman's but the Health Service Executive did not carry out any improvements. It is easy for people to view a facility and claim it is not acceptable. The question that must be asked is why. Why were its patients for many years left unattended and uncared for? Nurses and assistant care staff...

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Mar 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I spoke to a high-ranking official and negotiations are taking place. I will leave it at that as the industrial relations situation is bad enough and I do not want to aggravate it further.

Seanad: Order of Business (3 Mar 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I support Senator Wilson's comments on the alacrity with which the Minister of State, Deputy Curran, has responded to the issue of head shops. Approximately ten days ago one of the national newspapers carried a report of a boy of about 12 or 13 whose mother had to come and collect him after he took one of these substances and he did not know where or who he was. That is an indication of...

Seanad: Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Mar 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I had not intended to contribute but Senator Mullen put his finger on it. The veterinary profession has a pivotal role in this area. We cannot legislate for a broad spectrum because each dog will differ. I am sure the Minister is doing the best he can to safeguard animal welfare and I will reserve further comment until I hear what he has to say. Senators Mullen and Ormonde raised valuable...

Camillus Glynn: Absolutely.

Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Mar 2010)

Camillus Glynn: Over the years, we have held many debates on rural dwellings. Each of my colleagues in the House will be aware of derelict houses, many of them old local authority houses, throughout the countryside. Will the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Gormley, attend a debate on this matter in the House? Many people who would like to live in the countryside have...

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Curran. I thank my colleagues for the frank and open manner in which they have given their views pertaining to this important matter. We need many things in society but head shops are...

Seanad: Head Shops: Statements (Resumed) (11 Mar 2010)

Camillus Glynn: The Minister of State mentioned drugs sent in the post. Some years ago, when I was spokesperson on health and children, I published a report on the harmful effects on society of pharmaceuticals. One of the issues raised was the ordering of drugs on-line, to which the Minister of State referred briefly. I would like him to elaborate because this problem must be tackled in a serious way.
