Order of Business (2 Jul 2008)

James Reilly: On the same issue——

Order of Business (2 Jul 2008)

James Reilly: I understand that the legislation will not be introduced, but surely the Taoiseach is in a position to make arrangements to instruct people to release the funds and ring-fence the €110 million. A person who visited me recently spent €350,000, sold his house and had €1,200 left. What should he do now?

Order of Business (2 Jul 2008)

James Reilly: I do but the Ceann Comhairle should sympathise with people in such circumstances. There should be an increase in the subventions payable and the €110 million should be ring-fenced.

Order of Business (2 Jul 2008)

James Reilly: I am afraid to stand up at the same time as my colleague, Deputy Durkan. Is the Taoiseach aware of the lack of regulation of laser eye clinics? Is legislation pending in that regard? People who have been treated, at great expense to this country, have gone blind. People have died at cosmetic clinics.

Order of Business (2 Jul 2008)

James Reilly: The legislation that is planned is the health information Bill.

Order of Business (2 Jul 2008)

James Reilly: Will that Bill contain anything that will help to regularise and regulate these clinics?

Order of Business (2 Jul 2008)

Order of Business (2 Jul 2008)

Hazardous Waste: Statements (2 Jul 2008)

James Reilly: This is probably one of the greatest public health issues we have encountered during the lifetime of this Dáil. We have reports which show that the level of mercury in the soil is 281ppm, when action should be taken when the level is 10ppm. This causes severe neurotoxicity in people and is well known to be a major cause of neurological disease and disorder. We do not have any statistics...

Hazardous Waste: Statements (2 Jul 2008)

James Reilly: On a point of clarification, I mentioned that there was a 44% increase in cancer rates. I meant to state that there is a 44% higher than expected incidence of cancer in the Cobh area as against the national average.

James Reilly: Yes.

Dublin Transport Authority Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Order for Report Stage (2 Jul 2008)

James Reilly: It is awful to be asked a question and then told one will be given the answer. I want to raise a point from a democratic perspective. Deputies O'Dowd and Broughan, who have been intimately involved in this issue, have not had time to digest the import of certain amendments. The Ceann Comhairle has indicated we will discuss them if we get to them, the implication being we will not get to them.

Dublin Transport Authority Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Order for Report Stage (2 Jul 2008)

James Reilly: It is a point of democratic order. We will not reach the amendments which will be made without discussion by the use of a guillotine. That is not democracy.

Health Service Reform. (3 Jul 2008)

James Reilly: Question : To ask the Minister for Health and Children whether the reports in today's newspapers on the Health Service Executive are factual and, if so, whether she can give details of the full plan and a timescale for implementation, whether she can confirm if there are any cost implications and, if so, whether they will necessitate a Supplementary Estimate.

Health Service Reform. (3 Jul 2008)

James Reilly: I thank the Minister for coming into the House to take this Private Notice Question on a rather miserable July day.
