Cancer Services: Statements (Resumed). (7 Nov 2007)

Mary O'Rourke: I came in to do as Deputy Burton did, to thank the Minister for her apology to the House this morning and to the women who feel so let down by what has happened in the health service.

We are constantly told the Dáil does not reflect what is in ferment in the country but the state of the...

Mary O'Rourke: There were no marches in 1999 in County Laois. It was jarring that a person of his calibre and status would seek to denigrate a woman in her moment of need. Lest people think I do not want to face him tomorrow, I have already sent my apology because I must attend another engagement. I telephoned his office but, of course, I spoke to seven different people and do not know who eventually...

Cancer Services: Statements (Resumed). (7 Nov 2007)

Mary O'Rourke: I have no vested interest in this issue because even though Athlone is bursting at the seams, it lacks a hospital. We have an excellent care service which treats older people with dignity and love but we have no hospital.

Civil Unions Bill 2006: Restoration to Order Paper (Resumed) (1 Nov 2007)

Mary O'Rourke: I too am pleased to speak on the Government amendment. I have great respect for Deputy Howlin who speaks from a long-held conviction and determination that his ideas would find voice.

Mary O'Rourke: I do not understand why the Members in the Front Bench of the Labour Party are laughing. They must have taken their happy pills this morning. The Minister will bring forward the heads of the Bill by the end of March as outlined in the Government amendment.
