Health Service Staff. (19 Feb 2009)

James Reilly: The Minister has told us that the awards paid out in 2008 relate to 2007. At what point in 2008 were these bonuses paid to staff in the upper echelons of the Health Service Executive?

In other words, are bonuses still under consideration in the current climate for those earning vast sums of money in operating a health...

National Health Strategy. (19 Feb 2009)

James Reilly: I am disappointed with the response of the Minister of State. She referred to bullying being gender orientated. Girls bully and are bullied also.

National Health Strategy. (19 Feb 2009)

James Reilly: The Minister should not bully me. The question refers to men's health and the ring-fenced funding that is available to promote this issue and to implement policy. There appears to be no ring-fenced funding for this, nor is there any real initiative regarding men's health. What action is being taken on men's issues, such as testicular cancer and prostate cancer? Where is the meat in this?...

Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises. (24 Feb 2009)

James Reilly: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. As regards State-guaranteed loans for small and medium-sized businesses, the Tánaiste alluded earlier to the fact that she met with SR Technics earlier today. The Minister of State also alluded to the fact that the Tánaiste met with the banks. Has such an initiative for SR Technics, where 1,200 jobs are to go, been considered? This is a...

Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises. (24 Feb 2009)

James Reilly: I will ask a specific question. The Tánaiste alluded to interested parties, but will she inform the House how many there are? Has she considered a management buy-out or a workers' co-operative? Is there a subsidy? This is an important question.

Order of Business (24 Feb 2009)

James Reilly: We cannot look forward to movement on the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act with any degree of alacrity because special needs assistants have been removed from the system. When will legislation be brought forward to amend the Competition Act as it relates to equity in the Irish Pharmaceutical Union and others, as previously mentioned in the House? Will it be done?
