- Seanad: School Accommodation. (1 Jun 2005)
Brian Hayes: I welcome the Minister to the House and assure him that I have far more modest needs than my colleagues before me.

- Seanad: Nursing Homes: Statements. (1 Jun 2005)
Brian Hayes: I welcome the Minister of State to this House and thank him for putting his statement on record.

I fundamentally disagree with the Minister of State's assessment of the situation. It is...

Brian Hayes: The key issue is a systematic cover up at the heart of our Government because Ministers do not want to take responsibility. Civil servants may have been blamed and shunted off to other public agencies, but political truths are being brought home at the Department of Health and Children and to those with political responsibility in the Houses of the Oireachtas for decisions taken. There is a...

In recent years we have seen tremendous advances made by disabled people as a result of new treatments and the intensity of one-to-one educational opportunities, etc....
