Vote 40 — Health Service Executive (Supplementary). (6 Jul 2006)

Liz McManus: ...case. He became known as the Teflon Taoiseach but this culture has pervaded the Government in a corrosive way. The Taoiseach's attitude is not working any longer and, generally, the Government is feeling the heat. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, about whom there is a touch of a school boy, uses a silly phrase in this regard. However, support for both Government parties...

Order of Business. (15 Jun 2006)

Liz McManus: .... There are three weeks remaining in the session. According to the legislative programme, 16 Bills were promised for publication during the session. Four have been published.

Legislation that is urgently needed includes the hepatitis C...

Human Rights Issues: Motion (Resumed). (14 Jun 2006)

Liz McManus: ...determined to hold the Government to account for that decision and to ensure the practice is put to an end.

Accident and Emergency Services: Motion. (26 Apr 2006)

Liz McManus: ...to be done considering the state of the health service. In this emergency the officers absented themselves and went to Limerick instead of to the front line. Is it any wonder health professionals feel let down? This lack of leadership is at the core of the problem. Health professionals and their patients need strong and clear direction from the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste. They are not...

Hospital Services. (26 Apr 2006)

Liz McManus: ...degree, she is exposing a weakness in her argument? Whatever happens in those hospitals will be determined largely by the desire to make profit rather than anything else.

Health (Repayment Scheme) Bill 2006: Second Stage. (30 Mar 2006)

Liz McManus: ...adopted is the most appropriate and gives taxpayers the best bang for their buck? This question has not been answered. I allude to an important issue raised by our legal advisers. I have a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that this legislation will lead us into difficulties similar to those that arose in respect of the last Bill dealing with repayments. The advice states: Just one...

Lourdes Hospital Inquiry: Statements. (8 Mar 2006)

Liz McManus: ...have had about my treatment went unanswered. I was given a second chance of life. I was unique. Dr. Neary had saved my life. The revelations over the past 18 months have shattered my illusions. I feel we have been living a lie all these years. What I believed and accepted as the truth was a lie. People have totally betrayed me and I now need, and feel I deserve, answers. How could this...

Anybody looking at our hospital service knows just how...

Health Services: Motion. (25 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: ...to provide him with the straightforward emergency surgery that he needed. People are deeply shocked by what has happened to this man. One letter printed in the Irish Independent encapsulates the feelings of revulsion and dismay that his death has engendered in all of us. It reads: What use is all our money, all our technology, all our positive economic and government spending statistics...

Order of Business. (13 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: ...the framing of Mr. Frank Shortt was one of the most disgraceful miscarriages of justice and one of the worst examples of Garda abuse imaginable. He received an award yesterday which many people feel was relatively modest considering his ordeal. What action is being taken to bring those responsible to court? Perjury is a criminal offence.

Does the Minister not feel he should be ashamed that the budget for promoting safe sex among young people has decreased by 17%? What will he do about that? Young people have been targeted but people beyond...

Suicide Levels: Motion (Resumed). (5 May 2005)

Liz McManus: .... Bereavement by suicide is different from that resulting from other types of death. The intense reaction to the shock of learning of the tragedy produces a complexity of emotions including feeling angry with the victim, feeling rejected, a feeling of deep despair, being depressed, blaming oneself and a very deep sense of sadness. In many cases years after the event, the bereaved have not...

Cancer Screening Programme: Motion. (12 Apr 2005)

Liz McManus: ...might be fearful of coming forward for breast cancer screening, it is an experience that should not engender fear.

Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2005: Second Stage. (8 Mar 2005)

Liz McManus: ...that can accrue from discarded hypodermic needles and anti-social activities. This irritates people who move into a nice estate and end up in a situation which is not of their making and makes them feel powerless. The role of local authorities needs to be beefed up. Someone may be given the task of dealing with developers but they do not have the clout to threaten them with action if the...
