It is only a matter of time. This is a problem...

Camillus Glynn: I support my colleagues who condemned the practices in that particular nursing home. As someone who worked in that profession for some years, it was flabbergasting that the problem of pressure sores was so extensive. It is one of the most basic nursing procedures and there are many mechanical apparatuses that contribute to the prevention of pressure sores, such as ripple beds, roto-rest beds...

Seanad: Order of Business. (31 May 2005)

Camillus Glynn: Even where there were public beds, no right was extended to health board members to visit those institutions. Following the incident in Lusk last week, I would like to affirm my total support for the gardaí. Anybody who goes into a post office with a loaded gun goes in to murder. That has been proven time and again as the concept of self-preservation kicks in. He that loveth the danger shall...
