Seanad: Order of Business (13 Feb 2008)

Paul Coghlan: I second the amendment to the Order of Business proposed by Senator Frances Fitzgerald. Given the deadline of 1 March, I hope the Leader agrees arbitration is vital and we will not get anywhere without negotiation. Arbitration was promised previously and no one wants to see small towns and villages in rural Ireland dealt a blow if the Health Service Executive gets its way. It is to be...

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Feb 2008)

Paul Coghlan: He probably meant well and a clarification from him would be important because his remarks took from the useful, good suggestions many Members from both sides made on the subject on the Order of Business.

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Feb 2008)

Paul Coghlan: The Cathaoirleach has a good memory.

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Feb 2008)

Paul Coghlan: I agree with Senator Fitzgerald and others regarding road safety. The manner in which Gay Byrne, the respected chairman of the authority, has been treated and passed from Billy to Jack and the fact that scant attention has been paid to the serious work undertaken by him and his board are disgraceful. I hope this will not come to his resignation and that the issue of speed cameras can be...

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Feb 2008)

Paul Coghlan: I welcome that Senator Ellis raised the issue of boundary changes. From the Leader's response yesterday, there will not be an electoral Bill this session or year, although an electoral Bill might be published this year. The electoral boundary committees are sitting and must report by 20 June. It seems their remit will extend to dealing only with Dáil constituencies used in the previous...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (6 Feb 2008)

Paul Coghlan: I strongly support Senator Fitzgerald in her remarks on pharmacists. I attended a huge meeting in Kerry recently on this matter. It is patently obvious that the Health Service Executive is welshing on an agreement that is in place whereby a senior counsel was appointed to liaise and make recommendations in this regard. Now it is trying to get the pharmacists to sign individual contracts...
