- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages (18 Dec 2007)
James Reilly: This section refers to the boards. Should I discuss that?
- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages (18 Dec 2007)
James Reilly: Co-location is part of the boards issue. One of the major problems I have is that the Minister is responsible for these boards and I wish to remove her from that responsibility. It occurs in the documentation and I have made my objection to that clear. It is not my intention to speak to every section.
- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages (18 Dec 2007)
James Reilly: The Minister seeks to enshrine in law what has been the approach de facto, namely, disengaging and devolving responsibility from her to others who have not been found to be up to the mark, such as the HSE. There are now nine reviews. The Taoiseach, on 6 November, and the Minister, on 7 November, promised the report of Dr. Ann O'Doherty by the end of November. Tomorrow is the end of the...

- Competition (Amendment) Bill 2007: Second Stage (18 Dec 2007)
James Reilly: I thank my colleagues in the Labour Party for bringing this issue to the floor of the House. Although it is not the first time for a Bill of this nature to come before the House, this one has come about primarily because of the situation pertaining to the threatened cessation of pharmaceutical services throughout the country. Clearly the issue has been that the HSE has used the Competition...

- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2007: Second Stage (18 Dec 2007)
James Reilly: It would have been much easier for us on this side had the Minister made available to us the legal opinion. I read the Attorney General's note to the Minister which stated it was privileged and should not be released. That does not mean it could not have been released; it could have been released at the Minister's discretion. If the Minister was truly interested in a bipartisan approach to...

James Reilly: The Minister looks very well.
- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2007: Second Stage (18 Dec 2007)
James Reilly: We know that schools built under public private partnership which were supposed to save 6% ended up costing 10% more than if they had been built by traditional methods. The PPP model is far from proven and requires much more debate than what is allowed today. Much like this Bill, it is fair to state that the entire co-location plan has been guillotined. It is supposed to release 1,000 beds....

James Reilly: Question 43: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform his plans to proactively test drivers for the presence of illegal drugs in a similar manner to the successful random alcohol testing campaign which is the norm and which is an effective tool in curtailing the use and abuse of alcohol while driving; his views on whether such a zero tolerance testing regime, using drug...

- Order of Business. (13 Dec 2007)
James Reilly: I hope there will be a debate. Regarding standards in public office etc., and perhaps the Leas-Cheann Comhairle can direct me in this regard, how do we ensure that commitments given by the opposite side of the House are met? Two days ago I asked the Taoiseach about a briefing on the Supplementary Estimate in health.
