Co-location of Hospitals: Motion (Resumed). (27 Jun 2007)

Olwyn Enright: There is still not enough clarity. The public did not support giving public land to private developers. Deputy Finneran has almost sold the site beside the hospital in Roscommon. The area is not far from my constituency and I am aware of the difficulties. I remind him that people in that constituency spoke very clearly and elected two Fine Gael candidates out of three seats. He will hear...

Electoral (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2007: Second Stage (24 Apr 2007)

Olwyn Enright: I thank my colleague, Deputy O'Dowd, for tabling this proposal. While I do not expect the Government to support it, I urge it to do so. The Taoiseach may sadly have made his mind up on the issue, but perhaps the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Roche, has some small degree of influence with him and can persuade him of the arguments. The only question that...

Electoral (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2007: Second Stage (24 Apr 2007)

Olwyn Enright: It would be helpful if clarity were provided on the opening and closing times of polling stations. I urge that polling stations be open for as long as possible, as Deputy O'Dowd stated, especially to facilitate commuters. A significant number of commuters live in my constituency.
