- Order of Business (9 Jun 2011)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I am sure the Minister like every other Deputy in the House listened with horror to the unfolding details of what happened in Rostrevor House. When one hears about people crying out in fear and an elderly man being kicked while on the floor by somebody who is meant to look after him, we all feel very sickened and angered. I know that everybody in the House shares the concern-----
- Order of Business (9 Jun 2011)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I am coming to that.
- Order of Business (9 Jun 2011)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I am. I recognise the work done by HIQA in dealing with the issue and closing the house but a question arises as to how it got the all-clear in 2010. Much of the coverage was around the fear the staff had of referring this issue.

In advance of the introduction of the broader whistleblowing Bill, could an amendment, if necessary, be brought in to copperfasten the position of people in the health sector? I do not believe anybody wants to leave matters as they are over the summer wondering if somebody in a care home is...
- Order of Business (9 Jun 2011)
Éamon Ó Cuív: The Government said there would be reform in the House and that it was opposed to the use of the guillotine. What overriding urgency attaches to the Bill that requires the guillotine? If there is some overriding urgency, why was the Bill not introduced a week earlier so the debate would not have to be guillotined, in particular on the very important Committee and Report Stages?
- Order of Business (9 Jun 2011)
Éamon Ó Cuív: We will accept the proposal on the Order of Business if we get a clear undertaking that when the review is completed there will be a thorough debate, with questions and answers on the floor of the House, so that we can go through this issue completely. I would like the Minister's assurance that will happen.

- Spent Convictions Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (8 Jun 2011)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I welcome the Government's contribution to the debate on this Bill. I refer in particular to the contribution of the Minister of State.

As the Minister of State said, it is very important that people should not be condemned to a lifetime criminal record for something they may have done many years earlier. When one...
