Camillus Glynn: I welcome the opportunity to debate oncology services in this country. I received a telephone call yesterday at 8.15 a.m. from a concerned individual about a woman aged 42 years who had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and undergone an operation.

Seanad: Order of Business. (8 Dec 2005)

Camillus Glynn: On a previous occasion I raised a matter in the House regarding activities on our rivers and waterways. In the case of rivers and canals in particular, it involves two people putting a net across the river and removing everything from it. I raised this issue previously and am aware it has exercised the minds of a number of people, not least Senator Dardis who is a keen fisherman. I would like...

Seanad: Irish Medicines Board (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2005: Committee Stage (Resumed). (6 Dec 2005)

Camillus Glynn: I would not like to see antibiotics become freely available. Too many people take antibiotics too often without due regard to the preceding tests. For example, in the case of a throat infection, a throat swab should be taken, or for a urinary tract infection a sample should be sent to the laboratory. People could take antibiotics that are of no use for their condition. That has been proved...

I remember an extremely lively debate on this issue when the association of health boards was in operation. As this took place quite some time ago, the issue is not unusual. I am delighted it will be brought centre...

Seanad: Irish Medicines Board (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2005: Committee Stage (Resumed). (6 Dec 2005)

Camillus Glynn: I support this amendment. I also support Senator Minihan's comments, which make sense. I know a number of pharmacists who are excellent people and I hope this will be enabling legislation to provide for the necessary regulation in the future, if required, to complement, augment or introduce Senator Minihan's suggestion. I have always believed professionals such as nurses are an under-used...

The Children Act has been an important instrument in tackling a number of adverse situations as they affect children. Much is being thrown at children these days, including drugs, crime, theft, etc. More than ever before, it is imperative that everything possible is...
