Seanad: Order of Business (28 Feb 2008)

Camillus Glynn: There have been several suicides of young males recently in Longford, Westmeath and the Mullingar area. Statistics prove that the suicide rate among males aged from their mid-teens to 28 or 29 is seven times that of young females. Despite all efforts made to grapple with this problem it is a creeping cancer in society. It is time we had another debate on the subject in the hope that...

Camillus Glynn: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire agus gabhaim comhghairdeas leis as ucht an jab atá déanta aige i dtaobh an chomhshaoil. I welcome the Minister, Deputy Gormley, to the House and congratulate him on the proactive measures he has taken in regard to the environment since he took office. It is one thing to talk the talk, but the Minister is also walking the walk, and that must be commended. Waste...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2008)

Camillus Glynn: Efforts have been made, including those of Fianna Fáil's spokesperson in this House, Senator Feeney, to resolve the difficulties that face the country in respect of the pharmacy issue. It is important that both sides should endeavour to traverse the middle ground. Whenever a dispute exists, the middle ground is always safe ground for people to head towards because it is where resolutions...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2008)

Camillus Glynn: All Members can articulate the reason it is continuing. One can instance car sales, roadside sales, back garden garages or anything one likes but the nub of the matter is that the problem still exists and something must be done about it because innocent people are losing their lives. Without being racist, and Members must be factual in this Chamber, there appears to be a high incidence of...

Camillus Glynn: There are no problems on this side of the House.

Seanad: Order of Business (19 Feb 2008)

Camillus Glynn: Some time ago I received an e-mail from someone who was very pleased to inform me that I was the beneficiary of a will. I rang a telephone number provided but they would not give me an address.

Seanad: Order of Business (19 Feb 2008)

Camillus Glynn: Yes. Of course, it was a scam. The headquarters of the bank mentioned in the e-mail was in the Netherlands. However, it would not give a name and an address when I telephoned them. It would be as well that everyone is aware of this scam. I support Senator Harris's comments. Given the standard of journalism in some newspapers, it is not surprising I stopped buying The Beano and The Dandy...

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Feb 2008)

Camillus Glynn: During the last Seanad and since, I have raised the question of poaching in our rivers, canals and lakes. This is particularly pertinent in the midlands, certainly in County Westmeath, and at least one local newspaper has headlined it on a couple of occasions. A situation exists whereby two people, one each side of a canal or river, use a net to take out all the fish — not even...

Camillus Glynn: Where is the Senator coming from?

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Feb 2008)

Camillus Glynn: Last week, a national evening newspaper reported that a 13 year old female non-national child was raped by a 16 year old. I do not know if any other Member read the article but I am concerned as a parent that such a thing could happen. Money has been paid over and the family of the girl will not take action because it is within their culture. I always understood rape to be a criminal act...

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Feb 2008)

Camillus Glynn: I will touch on two issues raised by previous speakers. In respect of road safety, it is time we desisted from the ostrich syndrome of burying our heads in the sand. The numbers and ratio of accidents involving non-nationals are of great concern. There is no point in fooling ourselves. The next matter was raised previously in this Chamber. I have checked with garages and have discovered...
