- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Sep 2013)
Jim Walsh: I second the amendment to the Order of Business proposed by Senator Feargal Quinn. That is a good Bill and worthy of consideration in this House. I also support the comments of Senator Michael Mullins in regard to the young Pakistani girl who has shown maturity and wisdom beyond her years and has suffered tremendously thereby. As the Senator remarked, she is an example to us all. In...

Jim Walsh: And politicians.
- Seanad: SI 325 of 2012 - European Union (Quality and Safety of Human Organs Intended for Transplantation) Regulations 2012: Motion (20 Aug 2013)
Jim Walsh: On a point of order, the Minister of State prefaced what he said by saying that Senator Daly said it in the House. Now he is going on hearsay.

Jim Walsh: I join those who commended Senator Mark Daly on raising this important issue. It is a matter of life and death for many people. I know he has taken criticism from Members on the other side of the House and from the media. To some extent that is understandable. I too would have been of the view that a simple solution to increasing the availability of organs would have been to move to...

- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jul 2013)
Jim Walsh: I am putting a question to the Leader. I asked the Minister yesterday to outline what support services and counselling are being put in place for women who have abortions.
- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jul 2013)
Jim Walsh: No, they were not. With absolute respect, the only reason I am raising this issue now is that we did not have an opportunity to do so yesterday. We broke unnecessarily for an hour and a half, as the Cathaoirleach knows.
- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jul 2013)
Jim Walsh: The debate was truncated. I am merely asking the Leader that we have a debate on this issue in the autumn, in the interests of those poor women who suffer anguish as a consequence of abortion. The first week of our return would be a good time to have that discussion with the Minister.
