Seanad: Order of Business (8 Nov 2007)

Geraldine Feeney: They do as much damage to people's lives as some of those in the medical and legal professions. At least the medical and legal people have a fitness to practice and a code of conduct to which they must adhere. If they continue to offend, they are suspended or removed from their register. I agree with Senator Mullen that newspapers should pay high compensation when they offend and ruin...

Seanad: Order of Business. (7 Nov 2007)

Geraldine Feeney: In common with other Senators, I call for a debate on breast cancer services. Unfortunately, for obvious reasons I do not support the proposed amendment to the Order of Business.

Last night, I listened keenly to a lady who appeared on the "Prime Time" television programme...

Seanad: Order of Business. (7 Nov 2007)

Geraldine Feeney: This is the worst nightmare of every woman and family and Members must ensure that such women will receive the appropriate treatment and counselling for what they must go through.

This morning I heard a Professor O'Keeffe...

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Oct 2007)

I wish to raise the tragic murder of 17 year old Manuela Riedo in Galway....
