- Seanad: Public Health (Availability of Defibrillators) Bill 2013: Second Stage [Private Members] (19 Jun 2013)
John Gilroy: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I would say to Senator Barrett that some of our bureaucrats are well worth €75,000 a year. I commend Senator Quinn on the Bill, which is important and timely. Indeed, some colleagues referred to it with the awful term "no-brainer". The necessity for the widespread distribution of life-saving equipment to make it available to anyone in...

- Seanad: Health (Amendment) Bill 2013: Second Stage (19 Jun 2013)
John Gilroy: The Minister of State is welcome to the House and it great to see her back here again.

John Gilroy: I wish to begin by apologising to Senator Thomas Byrne. I interrupted him during his contribution. There is a responsibility on Members to listen carefully to what other Members are saying. There is also a responsibility on them to say something that does not completely exasperate everyone else in the House. Senator Thomas Byrne cannot expect to come into the House and retain a shred of...

John Gilroy: Sinn Féin's contribution is interesting for its entertainment value, like most of its economic policies.
