- Medical Practitioners (Professional Indemnity)(Amendment) Bill 2009: Second Stage (13 Oct 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: I commend the work done by Deputy Reilly on this and a number of previous Bills. The legislation before us highlights the importance of having an expert in this field in the House who is prepared to bring forward good proposals of this nature. I recognise the fact that the Minister for Health and Children is prepared to accept the general principle behind the Bill, which shows that Members...

- Ministerial Transport. (8 Oct 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: A trip to Brussels takes approximately two hours each way and the aircraft could be parked for a number of hours, costing up to â¬40,000, whereas a scheduled flight to Brussels for a person travelling business class costs approximately â¬2,000. Is an effort made at all times to consider the use of scheduled flights internally and externally so as to reduce the budget for this service? For...

- Overseas Missions. (8 Oct 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: This has been a successful mission, with very few incidents, led initially by Lieutenant General Pat Nash. It resulted in positive recognition of the country. Foreign missions are the lifeblood of any army so it is important from both a humanitarian and a logistical point of view that this mission would continue after March and the Minister must signal his intentions soon. It took â¬20...

- Defence Forces Strength. (8 Oct 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: The Minister's establishment figure for the strength of the Defence Forces was 10,500 and already the figure has fallen to 10,000. If this trend continues it could fall to 9,500 by the end of 2010. The Minister will accept that there is a brain drain and generally the command structure will be damaged. There are now positions of command that are not filled, which could lead to confusion...
- Defence Forces Strength. (8 Oct 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: There is much unease among the Defence Forces at the moment, and I think the Minister got that cold wind yesterday when he was at the PDFORRA conference. They are just not happy. People must be encouraged to stay in the Defence Forces. Unlike other public service bodies, they reacted to the white paper and reduced their number from over 14,000 to 10,500. They have complied with every...

- Defence Forces Reserve. (8 Oct 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: Will the Minister confirm the breakdown between effective and non-effective participation of the 6,973 members of the reserve? How many of these reserve members attended training courses this year? I understand from what the Minister has said that the integrated reserve has now been put on the back burner and it is likely he will not persevere with that proposal. Also, the front line...
