Seanad: Order of Business (6 Jul 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I strongly support Senator Corrigan and others who have rightly objected to the concept of people who have a psychiatric aspect to their illness being returned to psychiatric hospitals. Many good people in the psychiatric services give an enormous amount of their time and significant resources are put into preparing for return to the community people who had been institutionalised. It is...

Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Oct 2010)

Camillus Glynn: Some time ago, I complained in the Chamber about the loss of a dermatologist from the Midland Regional Hospital Mullingar. I am pleased to advise the House that a replacement has been found. Dr. Barbara Wynne commenced duty in the hospital last Monday. She has a staff of two, including a secretary and a nurse, and will have back-up from St. James's Hospital. Will the Leader arrange for a...

Seanad: National Housing Development Survey Report: Statements (27 Oct 2010)

Camillus Glynn: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. He is very welcome back to Seanad where he spent many years. These statements afford us an opportunity as Members of the Oireachtas to welcome the initiative the Minister of State has taken in having the survey completed. The in-depth survey provides the diagnosis and the prescription and it is important to know the problem. The report was prepared by...

Seanad: Diabetes Treatment and Management: Motion. (27 Oct 2010)

Camillus Glynn: Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an Aire Stáit. I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Áine Brady. I thank the Leader of the House for arranging for this debate at my request. On several occasions in the past, not just in this Seanad but in previous ones, I have sought a debate on types 1 and 2 diabetes. Having listened to colleagues on all sides of the House, it is clear that...

Seanad: Seanad Electoral (Panel Members) (Amendment) Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Nov 2010)

Camillus Glynn: In the past the Local Authority Members Association, LAMA, made a number of applications to be included in the list of bodies eligible to nominate a person to go forward for election to the Seanad from the Administrative Panel, but its efforts in this regard were unsuccessful. I have no difficulty with the Bill in principle, but it is strange it has been brought forward by Fine Gael which...

Seanad: Seanad Reform: Motion (3 Nov 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I move amendment No. 1: To delete all words after "Seanad Éireann" and substitute the following: "recognising the need for comprehensive consideration of reform of certain electoral matters, including matters relating to Seanad Éireann, notes: the deliberations of an All-Party Group on Seanad Reform, chaired by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, with the aim...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Nov 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I strongly support Senator Mary White in her remarks about children being inappropriately placed in adult psychiatric facilities. Child and adolescent psychiatry is a specialised area. I encountered this when I was in the profession, and I am disappointed to hear that it still obtains. Every effort must be made to reverse it.

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Nov 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I must compliment the Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children, Deputy Moloney, on the efforts he is making in the area of psychiatric services. It was certainly the Cinderella service for many years, but since he became a Minister of State he has been making a real effort, and I commend him on it. We must clearly state in the House that the placing of children in need of...

Seanad: National Housing Development Survey: Motion (10 Nov 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I move amendment No. 1: To delete all words after ''Seanad Éireann'' and substitute the following: " notes the recent publication of the National Housing Development Survey which: provides an authoritative analysis of the extent and location of vacant housing units in unfinished estates; shows that there are 23,000 complete and unoccupied new units in these developments with a further...

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Nov 2010)

Camillus Glynn: Scarcely a week goes by when we do not hear about a young man being killed in a road accident. It is time this House held a serious debate on this matter because clearly something is amiss. I ask the Leader to arrange for the Minister for Transport, Deputy Dempsey, to debate the matter with us so that we can hear proposals and views from all sides of the House on how we might tackle this...

Seanad: Death of Member: Expressions of Sympathy (17 Nov 2010)

Camillus Glynn: Like other Senators, I would like to express my sincere sympathy to Mary Phelan, the children of the late Kieran Phelan, his brothers and sisters, his mother Delia and his extended family. Kieran and I had two things in common. He was the eldest of a family of 18, whereas I am the youngest of a family of 15. He would always say "you know Glynn, I am a few lengths ahead of you". That was a...

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Nov 2010)

Camillus Glynn: In the past this House has debated the question of suicide and the high incidence of suicide in society. I regret that in my part of the world, Mullingar and north Westmeath in general, the incidence has raised its ugly head once again in recent months. There are not many families in this country that the cold fingers of suicide have not touched in one way or another. I ask the Leader to...

Seanad: Tributes to Member of Staff (2 Dec 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I add my words to those of my colleague in the Whip's office, Senator Wilson, in congratulating Shay Byrne on his retirement. Somehow I do not believe Shay will retire because he is not that type of person. I acknowledge the great co-operation I have received from him since I became a Member of the House. He is courtesy personified. Shay's recent trip to Tír na nÓg is reflected in his...

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Dec 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I watched the television programme on Limerick last night. I feel very sorry for all the good people in the area that was mentioned. I cannot help but notice that much of today's anti-social behaviour, from unprovoked attacks on people to rob them to the extortion of money from those who owe money to drug barons and drug pushers, is generated by the drugs problem. Therefore, the sooner we...
