Seanad: Tobacco and Alcohol Consumption: Motion. (7 May 2003)

Camillus Glynn: —to protect the public from this killer drug. Truth can be shamed but it can never be blamed. It was the current Administration that, for the first time in the history of the State, seriously highlighted the right of people to work and socialise in a healthy, smoke-free atmosphere. It is good of the Labour Party to also recognise this right. I thank the Labour Senators for doing so and I am...

Seanad: Tobacco and Alcohol Consumption: Motion. (7 May 2003)

Camillus Glynn: We have take a balanced and fair approach to this issue. I delighted to be informed at a recent meeting of the Joint Committee on Health and Children that the Vintners Federation and the IVF have advised their members not to stock alcopops. While this advice has found favour with many of their members, I reiterate that some of them have not complied with it. The vast majority of people who...

Seanad: Tobacco and Alcohol Consumption: Motion. (7 May 2003)

Camillus Glynn: Naughty.

Seanad: Tobacco and Alcohol Consumption: Motion. (7 May 2003)

Camillus Glynn: It does.

Seanad: Tobacco and Alcohol Consumption: Motion. (7 May 2003)

Camillus Glynn: In order to accommodate all sides of the House, I ask Senator Ryan and the Labour group to include the last paragraph of its motion with the Government amendment. That would satisfy all sides.

Seanad: Tobacco and Alcohol Consumption: Motion. (7 May 2003)

Camillus Glynn: By insisting on leaving that in with the original motion, there is no de facto recognition of what the Government is doing. That is pushing the matter very much to the precipice and I ask—

Seanad: Cancer Treatment Services: Statements. (16 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: We will see.

Seanad: Cancer Treatment Services: Statements. (16 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: Tá fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Is ábhar an-tabhachtach atá le plé againn inniu. Few conditions generate as much emotive debate as cancer, which impacts in an adverse way on every aspect of society. We have had the extension of BreastCheck, which is very important because it involves a very important section of our community, namely, women. I know far too many women – and men – who...

Seanad: Cancer Treatment Services: Statements. (16 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: We simply cannot have that, for, as anyone who knows anything at all about the treatment of cancer, including the treatment of symptomatic breast cancer, is aware, there must be a certain number of procedures per annum for them to be carried out safely. That is not rocket science, for every Tom, Dick and Harry knows that. When we talk about the extension of the BreastCheck programme, we must...

Seanad: Cancer Treatment Services: Statements. (16 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: Senator Feighan should know that we do not merely talk about it – we do it.

Seanad: Cancer Treatment Services: Statements. (16 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: People who came from doing nothing have to knock those who did something. The 1996 report from the Department of Health on cervical screening—

Seanad: Cancer Treatment Services: Statements. (16 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: If the Senator listened, she might learn something. The 1996 report acknowledged that cervical screening is a worthwhile preventative health measure when delivered as an organised screening programme. Following the report's recommendations, phase one of the national cervical screening programme commenced in the Mid-Western Health Board in October 2000. A key concern regarding the development...

Seanad: Central Mental Hospital: Motion. (16 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: Some of us know the difference.

Seanad: Central Mental Hospital: Motion. (16 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: I welcome the opportunity to speak to this motion. When we speak about psychiatric institutions there would have to be a consensus that in terms of a shelter which provides a service, the Central Mental Hospital is unsatisfactory. It is also important to note that, prior to last February, the first Minister ever to visit the Central Mental Hospital was the Minister for Health and Children,...

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: I support the sentiments expressed by Senator Finucane. The first responsibility of these Houses is to the people of this country. We are not attempting to isolate any group of people because they are entering the country, we are trying to protect them and Irish citizens. The time for indulging in this practice has gone. I also wish to raise another public health matter. We are all aware that...

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: Yes. This matter has legal implications, particularly for the people who perpetrate the spiking of drinks, but it also has health implications for the people unfortunate enough to contract this always deadly disease. I call for a debate on the matter as soon as possible.

Seanad: Order of Business. (8 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: He is selling a book of poetry.

Seanad: Order of Business. (3 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: I wish to refer briefly to the matter raised by Senator Morrissey. We have great civil servants but we do have people who believe that because they are members of what is known as the "permanent government" they can take unto themselves powers they do not have. It is their business to implement policy, not to determine it.

Seanad: Order of Business. (3 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: I most certainly am because a clear line must be drawn between reserve and official functions concerning policy. Some people in officialdom do not know the difference.

Seanad: Order of Business. (2 Apr 2003)

Camillus Glynn: I support the views of Senator Ó Murchú on 16 Moore Street. I call on the members of the relevant local authority to ensure that the bureaucratic approach of this public official will not be brought to bear and result in the demolition of this historic building, where the founding fathers of the State arranged the surrender in order to ensure that no further civilian lives would be lost. I...
