The Department must be given some...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Mar 2007)

Paul Coghlan: The Taoiseach stated the question of costs would be approached in a sympathetic manner. However, the State is threatening to pursue certain individuals.

Paul Coghlan: I welcome the Minister of State and his officials to the House, but I cannot welcome the Bill, which is regarded by this side as a belated response to the criminal and systematic abuse of senior citizens in need of continuous care.
