Medical Practitioners Bill 2007: Report and Final Stages (28 Mar 2007)

Liz McManus: I thought the Minister would have conceded the point on nominating bodies. It is important that people feel engaged with the proposed council structure. It is easy for people to walk away and not get involved in this type of project. People are busier, work is getting tougher and the days seem to be getting shorter. All these pressures are on people who give up their time to represent...

Public Transport: Motion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2006)

Liz McManus: .... I welcome the fact that Deputy Shortall brought forward this motion. Policy on transport is a little like that on health, in respect of which people have reached a stage of hopelessness and a feeling that as nothing can be done, nothing will be done.

Order of Business (2 Apr 2009)

Liz McManus: They feel they are under attack and are very concerned that the forthcoming budget may undermine their position further. Will the Tánaiste ensure that the status of carers is recognised in law?

Order of Business. (13 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: ...the framing of Mr. Frank Shortt was one of the most disgraceful miscarriages of justice and one of the worst examples of Garda abuse imaginable. He received an award yesterday which many people feel was relatively modest considering his ordeal. What action is being taken to bring those responsible to court? Perjury is a criminal offence.

Broadcasting Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (17 Jun 2009)

Liz McManus: This happens and I really feel it should not happen. As it is already in law, we are perpetuating it. Instead of doing things better, we are doing them the way they were done in the past. One of the problems with legislation is that it is written in very obscure language and it is difficult for people to connect with it. Stating that we must do this because it is in some other piece of...

Liz McManus: ...move amendment No. 31: In page 30, line 14, after "satisfied" to insert the following: "on the recommendation of the President of the Council". I make the same point in regard to this amendment. I feel I am repeating myself over and over in speaking about the partnership that should exist between the Minister and the Medical Council. I propose that the recommendation of the president of...

Order of Business. (15 Jun 2006)

Liz McManus: .... There are three weeks remaining in the session. According to the legislative programme, 16 Bills were promised for publication during the session. Four have been published. Does the Tánaiste feel like old mother Hubbard and that there is nothing in the legislative cupboard? Is that the problem? Certainly committees are idle. Legislation that is urgently needed includes the hepatitis C...

Medical Practitioners Bill 2007: Report and Final Stages (28 Mar 2007)

Liz McManus: ...consulting" and substitute "on the recommendation of". We must be conscious that the balance is shifting in this Bill and there is a danger that it will shift to the point where people will simply feel disengaged. A process that works very well is one where the Minister responds through recommendation rather than simply consulting. The word consulting is the most abused word in the...

Order of Business. (10 Feb 2005)

Liz McManus: We all feel great sympathy for the family of Róisín Ruddle on a terrible tragedy. I hope that at least some good can come of the matter. Will the Tánaiste finally recognise the serious deficiencies in the flow of nurses into our hospitals?

Liz McManus: ...can also get herpes, gonorrhoea, syphilis and hepatitis B, for example. More people are contracting STDs or STIs than ever before. The number has trebled since the late 1980s. Does the Minister not feel he should be ashamed that the budget for promoting safe sex among young people has decreased by 17%? What will he do about that? Young people have been targeted but people beyond...

Fuel Prices. (11 Oct 2007)

Liz McManus: ...and the fact that they tend to rise at the same time and stay at the same level. The price may vary regionally but within regions the price is more or less the same. If it looks, smells and feels like a cartel, one must do something about it. However, it is not clear who has the authority to do it. The Minister says he can deal with oil reserves but he will not deal with the issue...

Broadcasting Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (17 Jun 2009)

Liz McManus: ...have recognised it in the sense that they have accepted a reduction in pay. That should be much more the way to go in terms of fairness within the structures of RTE.
