I am reliably informed that it will do so. It is to be expected that Members will root for...

Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Nov 2003)

Camillus Glynn: This is an important matter. There are at least nine housing developments in close proximity to the hospital, two of which are co-operative schemes. People who bought houses in them did so in the full knowledge of all that pertains to them. For any tabloid newspaper to suggest—

Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Nov 2003)

Camillus Glynn: —that the couple will be shocked because they are in proximity to one of the finest architectural structures in the country is wrong. This is the type of journalism that should be consigned to the gutter.

Seanad: Order of Business. (19 Nov 2003)

Camillus Glynn: I have raised this matter before. It appears that because of the practice of spiking drinks in many discos and nightclubs the patrons are afraid to leave their drinks and have to take them into the toilets with them. It is awful that they have to do so. An individual who commits an act of this kind against anybody else should be subject to a mandatory prison sentence with hard labour. This is...

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Dec 2003)

Camillus Glynn: I warmly welcome the decision of the Government to decentralise Departments. It is important that it be known that there are other counties besides Dublin. Some Opposition politicians, including a former Leader, are not making much sense on this issue. There are daily complaints about the gridlock in this city but when something is done about it, the Government is accused of being wrong.

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Dec 2003)

Camillus Glynn: Yes, of course. I always have a question. I am tired listening to the politics of the pavement. I ask the Deputy Leader to arrange a debate on mobile phone licensing. It has been brought to my attention that a mobile phone was bought from a certain company and the customer was informed when buying it that it could be upgraded after one year. However, a year and eight months after it was...
