Seanad: Order of Business. (8 Dec 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I support the position of An Post workers. Last Monday evening I and a number of my elected colleagues from north Westmeath met the communications' workers. A significant void exists between what is being printed in the newspapers by An Post and the situation on the ground. It is my understanding that An Post will be meeting the Joint Committee on Communications, Marine and Natural Resources....

Seanad: Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I support what the Minister of State said. I have been aware of physical therapists and from what I know of them theirs is a stand-alone profession, as is physiotherapy, podiatry andchiropody. Although some areas may need to be clarified, section 4 will enable other professional groups to be brought within the scope of the Act, which I welcome. I believe this also reflects the Minister of...

Seanad: Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I am satisfied by the Minister of State's assertion that Senators' concerns will be addressed. Any group which is not included in the specified 12 and which has its house in order — of which there are a number, to which the Minister of State referred — does not have anything to worry about. All such a group has to do is prove its members have the level of expertise, proficiency, training...

Seanad: Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: This is one of the more important Bills to come before this House in my seven years as a Member. Professional qualifications should be jealously guarded. These are people who have gone through the rigours of studying for anything up to seven years to attain a professional title. This Bill is designed to protect those titles. Apart from the 12 professional groupings mentioned therein, the...

Seanad: Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I appreciate the Senators' attempt to ensure that what should obtain will obtain but when the boards are set up they will all be on a statutory footing. No one will blow the whistle as quickly as a member of a profession who sees another member bringing it into disrepute. That is my experience and it will surely obtain in this instance. I have every confidence in all the professions, not...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I support the call for a debate on decentralisation. I will have many good things to say about it. I wish to raise a matter which I have raised on a number of occasions. Each day we see coverage in the media of the number of unprovoked attacks that are occurring in our towns and cities, as well as the increasing use of guns and the ongoing use of knives. I also raised on three occasions what...

Seanad: Order of Business. (18 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: Aontaím go hiomlán le tuairim na Seanadóirí O'Toole agus Ó Murchú mar gheall ar an Ghaeilge. A matter which has been brought to my attention on more than one occasion pertains to credit card fraud and fraud at ATM machines. I ask the Acting Leader to arrange a debate as soon as possible to exhort the financial institutions to arrange for greater security for cash card users. There is...

Seanad: Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage. (17 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: My view on these matters is well known. I support the idea that people delivering professional services should be qualified to do so. Section 4(1) refers to 12 designated professions but the Bill allows the Minister to include other professions in the fullness of time. Apart from focusing on the need to register the 12 designated professions, the Bill also deals with who is entitled to call...

Seanad: Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage. (17 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: The role of a GP has changed substantially in recent years, with GPs standing back from carrying out certain procedures in their surgery due to a fear of litigation. Who could blame them, the way people think now? The co-operative system has been a welcome development in the lives of GPs — it works well in the Midland Health Board system. The attending disciplines referred to would be...
