Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (28 Nov 2007)

Geraldine Feeney: I support the call by Senator Ellis for a debate on the carving up of counties by the boundary commission and ask the Leader to arrange a debate on the issue.

This would be the third debate on cancer services in two months and the Minister's fifth time in the House in less than two months. Last week she was in...

Seanad: Cancer Services: Statements (20 Nov 2007)

Geraldine Feeney: I read with alarm at the weekend about the women in Portlaoise. One newspaper reported that they were to be given their results last week, but this has now been put back by two weeks. What is the position on this?

Geraldine Feeney: I hope you will be as generous to me, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, when I go over my time.

Whenever she is asked to come to the House, she never sends a Minister of State but instead comes herself. That is an indication of the way she is perceived in her Ministry and how she takes...

Geraldine Feeney: I was delighted to hear the Minister begin her contribution by remembering the women who received the misdiagnosis from Portlaoise hospital. I heard her speak on "Prime Time" that week and was touched by the way she handled the matter and the concern she expressed. She said it was every woman's nightmare to be faced with what those six or seven women were facing. That is the case. It must...

Seanad: Cancer Services: Statements (20 Nov 2007)

Geraldine Feeney: We did not interrupt once when Senator Fitzgerald was speaking. I would like some respect. We get this all the time in the House. It is a different matter on the Order of Business when people shout back and forth but when Members make statements, and this is for the benefit of newcomers, they are allowed to contribute. The Senator can contribute after me. We must not lose sight of the...
