Seanad: Order of Business. (2 Dec 2003)

Camillus Glynn: —Is fearr an t-iománaí a bhíonn ar an gclaí – the hurler on the ditch is always the best. Those who did not want to participate in the game are now on the pitch, so either they play the game or they ditch the jersey.

Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Nov 2003)

Camillus Glynn: The Senator would have to join the queue.

Seanad: Order of Business. (20 Nov 2003)

Camillus Glynn: I support the views expressed by Senator Ó Murchú pertaining to the Irish language. We should invite the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív, into the House. We are led to believe that even in Gaeltacht areas there is a decline in the teanga dúchais. We are also led to believe that in other parts of the country there is a renaissance of the language....

Seanad: Order of Business. (19 Nov 2003)

Camillus Glynn: I have raised this matter before. It appears that because of the practice of spiking drinks in many discos and nightclubs the patrons are afraid to leave their drinks and have to take them into the toilets with them. It is awful that they have to do so. An individual who commits an act of this kind against anybody else should be subject to a mandatory prison sentence with hard labour. This is...

Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Nov 2003)

Camillus Glynn: Last Sunday night our esteemed Leader took part in a show in which she did the House proud. However, an article in the The Star on Sunday—

Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Nov 2003)

Camillus Glynn: This is an important matter, especially to the people of Mullingar. The article in question suggested the winning couple would get a shock when they saw their new home because it is in proximity to a psychiatric hospital.

Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Nov 2003)

Camillus Glynn: This is an important matter. There are at least nine housing developments in close proximity to the hospital, two of which are co-operative schemes. People who bought houses in them did so in the full knowledge of all that pertains to them. For any tabloid newspaper to suggest—

Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Nov 2003)

Camillus Glynn: —that the couple will be shocked because they are in proximity to one of the finest architectural structures in the country is wrong. This is the type of journalism that should be consigned to the gutter.

Seanad: Order of Business. (22 Oct 2003)

Camillus Glynn: I agree with Senator Ulick Burke on the matter he raised. A number of questions arise from this terrible tragedy. Is a person purchasing a car asked if he or she has a full driving licence or insurance? I do not believe that is the case. A mechanically propelled vehicle in the hands of an incompetent person is a lethal weapon. Many questions need to be answered. I strongly support the call...

Camillus Glynn: They are acting on behalf of the banks.

Seanad: National Task Force on Medical Staffing: Statements. (22 Oct 2003)

Camillus Glynn: Tá fáilte roimh an Aire go dtí an Teach. I welcome the Minister to the House and the opportunity to speak about the Hanly report, the third of recent times, preceded as it was by the Prospectus and Brennan reports. The Hanly report sets out a series of principles for the future organisation of hospital services nationally alongside measures to reduce junior doctor hours, improve training...

Seanad: National Task Force on Medical Staffing: Statements. (22 Oct 2003)

Camillus Glynn: The people who are making the comments about Members are the unelected ones. I make no apologies for saying that I am anxious that phase 2B of the general hospital in Mullingar, which is at the design stage at present and in respect of which the development control plan is almost ready, should proceed. I am reliably informed that it will do so. It is to be expected that Members will root for...

Camillus Glynn: We can leave that to the other side.

Seanad: Order of Business. (16 Oct 2003)

Camillus Glynn: I support the remarks of Senator Brian Hayes. Every right minded person would have to do so. I wish to refer to another matter I have raised in this House on more than one occasion, that is, bullying in schools. We are talking about the breeding ground for the people about whom we are speaking. In regard to the management of housing estates, people are intimidated into leaving their homes....

Camillus Glynn: They abdicated their responsibilities.

Seanad: Order of Business. (7 Oct 2003)

Camillus Glynn: I have raised the issue of school bullying in the past and now do so again. This problem will not go away and recent events not far from where I live led a young person to the ultimate step of taking his own life. I am not going to name names but this matter has been brought to my attention on more than one occasion. Two members of my family have suffered from this in the past and it must be...

Seanad: Order of Business. (7 Oct 2003)

Camillus Glynn: I will tell Members why. I am told on a regular basis that smokers have rights but there is an accompanying obligation as well. We all have obligations to each other. As someone who worked in a pub and in a psychiatric hospital, where smoking is a very important part of the everyday life of patients, I have first-hand knowledge of the implications of the practice of smoking. I will be...

Seanad: Order of Business. (27 Jun 2003)

Camillus Glynn: In recent weeks a number of Senators have called for a debate on planning. I reiterate that call. Members of local authorities are responsible for devising county development plans. They certainly get the blame for them. However, the interpretation put on the plans by planners does not reflect the spirit in which they were framed by the elected members. I will be saying more about this matter...
