- Care of the Elderly. (1 Nov 2006)
Liam Twomey: It is vital that this report be published.

- Care of the Elderly. (1 Nov 2006)
Liam Twomey: Is the Minister of State saying that senior HSE staff did not pass on concerns raised with them regarding Leas Cross, or any similar institutions, in the past six years, to any Minister? Were the Ministers blissfully unaware of what was happening in nursing homes around the country? While that may not verge on negligence, it verges on incompetence.

- Hospitals Building Programme. (1 Nov 2006)
Liam Twomey: This is an extremely important issue. It is important that the selection process was transparent but the Minister's answer leaves me in some doubt as to whether it was rigorous and followed best international practice. I do not wish to make the charge that political interference occurred but this charge arises because people are unsure as to how this decision was reached. The Minister of...
- Hospitals Building Programme. (1 Nov 2006)
Liam Twomey: The question has not been answered. Will the Minister release the information that resulted in these hospitals being discounted so quickly? What is the breadth and depth of it? I understand the Minister is not a clinician but many people would like to know why the Mater Hospital was picked as opposed to any of the other hospitals. All they are looking for is the information on why the...

- High Level of Suicide in Irish Society: Statements (26 Oct 2006)
Liam Twomey: Suicide is an emotional subject and every Member fully understands the trauma families suffer as a result of a death by suicide. It would be difficult to predict our own response if any of us received the call many families receive.
