Health Services. (15 Feb 2005)

Seán Crowe: The case I wish to raise concerns a young man from Tallaght. He was assaulted in Dublin's Temple Bar. Such an assault is probably a parent's greatest nightmare. The young man went into town for a drink and was assaulted and left for dead. If a tourist had not spotted him and put him into the recovery position, the young man would have died. He was in a coma for a considerable period. While he...

Dormant Accounts (Amendment) Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage. (3 Feb 2005)

Seán Crowe: Every Member of this House recognises that the decision to use the dormant accounts fund for public benefit was a positive and welcome development.

Disability Bill 2004: Second Stage (Resumed). (2 Feb 2005)

Seán Crowe: Government backbenchers have exposed the Government's real position by rejecting a rights-based approach in no uncertain terms, going so far as to call it fundamentally flawed.

It is a massive understatement to say that the Government...

Accident and Emergency Services: Motion (Resumed). (27 Jan 2005)

Seán Crowe: The Government amendment to this motion is an insult. It does not address any of the specific issues raised in the motion, for which I congratulate the Technical Group.
