Seanad: Stem Cell Research: Statements. (19 Nov 2003)

Brian Hayes: I welcome the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to the House. I appreciate that she stayed here through the course of the debate and will take questions at the end. In reference to Senator Norris's attack on some of my colleagues, have we learnt anything—

Seanad: Stem Cell Research: Statements. (19 Nov 2003)

Brian Hayes: I know that. Have we learnt anything from the 1980s? It seems not if people cannot get up and make their position without finding it denigrated because it does not find favour with another person. I heard Senator Coghlan's remarks today and whether one agrees with Senator Coghlan or anyone else, anyone in this House has a right to make those points. People should bear that in mind. I agree...

Brian Hayes: My view on this matter has been changed by my own experience in life. The position I had at 20 years of age is different to the position I have now at 34 years of age and that might change ten times over.

Seanad: Order of Business. (13 Nov 2003)

Brian Hayes: The Taoiseach told the Dáil yesterday that the Minister totally accepts the Hanly report but in his second pot shot, the Minister for Defence came out last night and told us that the Hanly report is not the Ten Commandments. What is the position? As I understand it, the Leader of the House correctly said yesterday that it is not a discussion report or a policy position but the actual...

Seanad: Order of Business. (13 Nov 2003)

Brian Hayes: The Leader should clarify again, for the assistance of her own colleagues, the exact standing of this report. On a second matter, will the Leader consider calling a meeting of the Seanad at 9 a.m. one day next week on the basis that the Tánaiste appears to have no difficulty going on Marian Finucane's radio programme and outlining her views on embryonic stem cell research but she has a...

Seanad: Order of Business. (13 Nov 2003)

Brian Hayes: I would have thought that who appears in this House is relevant. When will the Leader provide time to allow the Tánaiste to come into the House to outline the view of the Government on this matter?
