- Seanad: Medical Practitioners (Amendment) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Sep 2014)
David Cullinane: I welcome the Minister to the House. I gather it is his first time here since his recent appointment, or perhaps not, but it is the first time I have seen him. I commend Senator Burke on proposing a similar Bill some time ago. It was not accepted but the substance of what he proposed at the time is largely in this Bill. He deserves credit for his work on this issue and for bringing this...
- Seanad: Medical Practitioners (Amendment) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Sep 2014)
David Cullinane: We welcome this Bill. For many people, it seems strange that such a system was not in place already, and people have been surprised to learn that it was not. I imagine the current status whereby medical professionals have no legal obligation to have adequate medical indemnity insurance seems strange to the vast majority of citizens. Under this Bill, medical practitioners must ensure they...

David Cullinane: Last week I requested that we have a debate on water charges. The Leader said yesterday that we had had plenty of time last year when the Water Services (No. 2) Bill was before the House to debate these issues. I do not accept that, because circumstances have changed since then, but also, during those lengthy debates, we were given an assurance by the then Minister of State that this House...
- Seanad: Order of Business (23 Sep 2014)
David Cullinane: Last week I sought debates on two important issues. The first was the Government's health policy, given the signal by the Minister that there seems to be some change in the Government's overall vision for health care and the practicalities of implementing Government policy on health care, and the second concerned water charges, given the confusion that still exists over the charges, how the...
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Sep 2014)
David Cullinane: I seek a debate on the introduction of water charges. It is quite obvious from the summer months that the public will be asked to pay more for water than was previously anticipated and that the annual charge will be greater than what was presented by the Minister when we had very lengthy debates in this House on the water services legislation. The way the Government has gone about this is...
