- Cluster Munitions Bill 2008: Second Stage (8 Apr 2008)
John Perry: I compliment Deputy Timmins on this important motion. I urge the House to support the Cluster Munitions Bill 2008. While concerned citizens of the world work to pass legislation to limit the production, storage, export and use of various forms of cluster munitions, it is important that we in this country ensure we have no hand, act or part in the financing, manufacturing or transport of...

- Cancer Services Reports: Motion (Resumed) (12 Mar 2008)
John Perry: Professor Niall O'Higgins's report accepted the scientific foundation for eight centres of excellence for cancer care. There should be only two centres in Dublin.

The Portlaoise reports do nothing to further the argument for the proposed model. If the science behind Professor Niall O'Higgins's report was rigorously applied, there would be just one breast cancer...
