Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) Robert Dowds: I have a general question.

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) Robert Dowds: My concern in asking this question is to have as much money available for front-line health services as possible. No matter how wealthy this country becomes we will never have enough money for health, so it is important that it is used wisely and to best effect for patients.

Robert Dowds: Tá fáilte roimh na finnéithe. Is rud uafásach é go bhfuil an Ghaeilge i mbaol a báis sa Ghaeltacht ach cad is féidir linn a dhéanamh faoi sin? Ceann de na fadhbanna a fheicimse, agus níl a fhios agam an aontódh na finnéithe liom, ná go bhfuil sé an-tábhachtach go bhfuil Gaeilge á húsáid ag gach aon chlann...

- Employment Equality (Abolition of Mandatory Retirement Age) Bill 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Oct 2015)

When I think of a subject such as this I think of the German Chancellor in the 19th century, Bismarck, who first introduced a widespread scheme of pension provision, partly to halt the rise of the Social Democrats there. His assumption was that people would live for three years after they retired. Clearly, we have got well...

- Topical Issue Debate: Credit Unions Regulation (8 Oct 2015)
Robert Dowds: I thank the Minister of State for his response. I still come back to this point. I appreciate and am glad that a degree of flexibility exists but why have them hamstrung unnecessarily with bureaucracy? One should remember that credit unions are organisations which, while having professional staff, also have considerable voluntary involvement and they should not be hamstrung any more...
