Maurice Cummins: I second the amendment. Amendments Nos. 7, 8 and 11 relate to section 8 of the Interception of Postal Packets and Telecommunications Messages (Regulation) Act 1993. There is an important safeguard in that Act that allows a designated judge of the High Court to investigate authorisations and inspect any official documents relating to an authorisation or its application. The Minister said that...

Maurice Cummins: I compliment the Minister on bringing forward this legislation. Any measure that helps combat terrorism will be supported by my party. We accept that a number of technical items were addressed on Committee Stage and compliment the Minister on taking these on board. As the Bill is very technical, I am sure Department officials had a difficult time dealing with it and I compliment them on their...
- Seanad: Road Safety Authority Bill 2004: Second Stage. (10 May 2006)
Maurice Cummins: I welcome the Bill but it creates as many questions as answers, as many speakers have said. A headline in today's edition of The Irish Times reads "Safety strategy hampered by lack of proper budget." That is typical of what the Government has been guilty of in recent years. There has been no joined-up thinking on road safety. As much has been stated by the former chairman of the road safety...
- Seanad: Road Safety Authority Bill 2004: Second Stage. (10 May 2006)
Maurice Cummins: I will deal with a subject many speakers have raised, namely, the fact that there is no limit on the number of provisional licences a person can have. One can fail one test after another and simply go onto the road with another provisional licence. A person can be a menace and still have the liberty to drive. That is not right and must not be allowed to continue. Many drivers are menaces who...
- Seanad: Electoral Register: Motion. (10 May 2006)
Maurice Cummins: The Minister of State mentioned our motion was a knee-jerk reaction to the situation. The motion may be a knee-jerk reaction, but at least it is a reaction. We have seen nothing from the Government during the past nine years. To quote the Taoiseach, it must be a Shank's mare exercise. It should have dawned on the Taoiseach that we should have done this a long time before now. The Taoiseach...

- Seanad: Order of Business. (16 May 2006)
Maurice Cummins: Like Senator à Murchú, I support the calls of the Irish Haemophilia Society and Transfusion Positive. They have been awaiting an insurance scheme for people infected with hepatitis C and HIV through contaminated blood and blood products for nine years. The Tánaiste promised that legislation would be introduced by April. When will such legislation be introduced? I agree with the call for a...
