Camillus Glynn: I second the proposal.

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Dec 2008)

Camillus Glynn: Senators Quinn, Daly and others referred to the removal of cribs. This matter was brought to my attention on a number of occasions recently. What would happen if the Irish people went to other countries that have different values from us? I have been to those countries and when in Rome one does what the Romans do. Those people have come to Ireland and they are very welcome. Our Christian...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Nov 2008)

Camillus Glynn: I asked the Leader recently to arrange a debate on foster caring. Foster carers provide a tremendous service to children unfortunate enough to suffer many ills that do not befall most children. Foster carers, through their generosity of spirit, provide good, safe and welcome homes for such children. It is always foster carers who stand into the breach for unfortunate families. There has...

Seanad: Order of Business (19 Nov 2008)

Camillus Glynn: I support all my colleagues who rightly condemned the banks for what they are not doing. I would like to raise a similar issue. I am a customer, as are many people in the midlands, of a television service company and if one does not use a direct debit to pay the subscription, one is charged an additional €3 per month. If the service is not provided, customers must do without it but,...

Seanad: Radon Protection Measures: Statements (13 Nov 2008)

Camillus Glynn: Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an Aire Stáit atá sa Teach. We rightly hear much talk about health and safety at work but when we speak about radon gas, health and safety within the home should certainly come centre stage. A free local paper in Mullingar and Westmeath in general, the Westmeath Advertiser, indicated Westmeath has very high levels of radon, which is something about...

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Nov 2008)

Camillus Glynn: I concur with Senator Twomey's comments on the primary medical certificate and the loss of limbs as it relates to VRT rebates. To illustrate the point he outlined, a member of a local authority in the midlands with whom I am familiar has one arm which is of no use to him and he has experienced the problem as outlined by Senator Twomey. We must revisit this issue. I raise the issue of boy...

Camillus Glynn: Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an Aire. Déanaim comhghairdeas leis as ucht an deá-obair atá déanta aige agus ag an Rialtas. Mar a deirtear, tá a lán déanta, ach tá níos mó le déanamh. Is mian liom mo thuairim a thabhairt ar an gclár forbartha tuaithe. I welcome the Minister to the House and compliment him and the Government on the improvements that have been made in the...

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Nov 2008)

Camillus Glynn: The Irish Foster Care Association held its conference recently. I have great admiration for this organisation, which comprises generous people and families who give good homes and an atmosphere of love and caring to children who would not otherwise have happy childhoods. I ask the Leader whether time could be put aside for a debate on this important issue. During my time as spokesperson for...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Nov 2008)

Camillus Glynn: I strongly support the views of Senator Labhrás Ó Murchú regarding 60 Moore Street. It would be a shame if it was not preserved for the nation, given its historical relevance. I also support Senator Geraldine Feeney's remarks on anorexia nervosa. I have raised this matter on a number of occasions in the House. It has a serious adverse impact on public health, especially among young...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Oct 2008)

Camillus Glynn: Recently, the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy John Gormley, and the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy Dermot Ahern, launched the MPCs, the municipal policing committees. Today I received a welcome letter from Longford County Council which asked me on which of the three policing committees — Granard Town Council, Longford Town Council...

Camillus Glynn: Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an Aire go dtí an Teach. Gabhaim comhghairdeas leis agus leis an Rialtas as an dea-obair atá déanta acu ar son an chomhshaoil. Cuirim fáilte speisialta roimh na moltaí ón gcomhchoiste. Admhaím go bhfuil a lán déanta, ach tá a lán le déanamh fós. I welcome the Minister to the House and commend him and the Government on the initiatives they...
