Seanad: Order of Business. (3 Nov 2004)

Camillus Glynn: Will the Leader invite the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to this House to discuss his proposals for the control of fireworks? It has been brought to my attention that a 14 year old boy lost a thumb and two fingers. He was one of seven young people treated in Crumlin hospital by one surgeon. The surgeon concerned was not sure how many others were treated by his colleagues. If...

Seanad: Report of Strategic Task Force on Alcohol: Statements. (27 Oct 2004)

Camillus Glynn: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit agus gabhaim comhghairdeas leis. I welcome the second report of the strategic task force on alcohol. The report's recommendations aim to enhance society's ability to prevent and respond to alcohol-related harm; to achieve the targets set out in the WHO declaration on young people and alcohol; to provide for early intervention to ensure effective treatments;...

Seanad: Children Act 2001: Statements. (20 Oct 2004)

Camillus Glynn: This is important legislation, the implementation of which is even more important. There was a recognition that the juvenile justice system could no longer continue to develop within the statutory confines of the Children Act 1908 and that further development would have to be underpinned by new legislation, namely, the 2001 Act. That Act is designed in such a way that all its provisions...

Camillus Glynn: The Senator was a natural in the role.

Seanad: Children Act 2001: Statements. (20 Oct 2004)

Camillus Glynn: A hell of a lot has been done.

Seanad: Order of Business. (14 Oct 2004)

Camillus Glynn: Will the Leader arrange, as soon as possible, for Committee Stage of the Maritime Safety Bill 2004 to be taken? We completed Second Stage in this House on 13 June. Coming from a lake county, as she does, the Leader is well aware that there are major problems on our lakes with the indiscriminate, irrational and dangerous use of jet skis and ski boats. I strongly support the call for the...

Seanad: Medical Cards: Motion (13 Oct 2004)

Camillus Glynn: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire agus gabhaim chomhghairdeas leis. I welcome the Minister of State and congratulate him on his appointment to office. I am sure he will be a great success in his new role. I move amendment No. 1: To delete all words after "Seanad Éireann" and substitute the following: "notes with approval the unprecedented levels of growth that have been and are being experienced...

Seanad: Medical Cards: Motion (13 Oct 2004)

Camillus Glynn: History is an important subject because if we learn from mistakes we will not repeat them. Senator Ryan is a member of a party with a moving policy — it makes it up as it goes along. However, those of us who live in the real world must deal with the facts as they are. It is open to all persons to apply through the chief executive of a health board for a medical card if they are unable to...

Seanad: Medical Cards: Motion (13 Oct 2004)

Camillus Glynn: That point has been conceded and I agree with the Minister on that. However, the terms have been adjusted every year. That must also be conceded. In 2003 payments under the GMS to general practitioners in respect of capitation fees and allowances amounted to €286.8 million. Many cards were withdrawn because of duplication. In addition, many people are now outside the terms of eligibility...

Seanad: Order of Business. (13 Oct 2004)

Camillus Glynn: Absolutely nothing.

Seanad: Order of Business. (13 Oct 2004)

Camillus Glynn: Wishful thinking.

Seanad: Ombudsman (Defence Forces) Bill 2002: Second Stage. (6 Oct 2004)

Camillus Glynn: The appointment of Deputy O'Dea to the defence portfolio is a timely recognition of his Trojan service to the people of his constituency as a Deputy and as a Minister of State. On many occasions they have given him a resounding mandate to represent them and I have no doubt he will reflect the success he has achieved to date in representing them in the new portfolio he has been given. It would...

Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Oct 2004)

Camillus Glynn: There are more jobs now.

Seanad: Order of Business. (30 Sep 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I support the remarks of Senator Cummins on a matter I raised previously in the House. Clearly a legislative void needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. In the course of the local elections campaign, I met a lady whose husband was "treated" by some of the people in question. If we are talking about the same people, I understand that some of them have been struck off the register....

Seanad: Disability Services: Motion. (29 Sep 2004)

Camillus Glynn: As a result of a vote in the other House, the Minister of State is delayed. I propose that the sitting be suspended until 7 p.m.

Seanad: Order of Business. (8 Jul 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I support the remarks of Senator Norris. All right-minded people will be appalled by his revelations and I call on the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to have this matter investigated. I wonder if the person who carried out those backstreet abortions is still in the country. The chances are they may not be.

Seanad: Order of Business. (8 Jul 2004)

Camillus Glynn: In any event this must be nipped in the bud. I am appalled by the revelations and I demand an immediate investigation. This must be stamped out now.

Seanad: Order of Business. (1 Jul 2004)

Camillus Glynn: I am pleased that Mullingar and Athlone will benefit from decentralisation. It is important that this process is carried out, but I do not think a gun is being put to anyone's head. It is not only Departments that are being decentralised. Westmeath County Council has set up area offices around the county. There are now four area offices in Westmeath, which is to be welcomed.

Seanad: Order of Business. (1 Jul 2004)

Camillus Glynn: Yes. I always do and it is always answered.
