Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Question 9: To ask the Minister for Defence the number of Defence Force personnel who were discharged after taking Lariam. [30057/12]

Medicinal Products (21 Jun 2012)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is difficult to believe, in this computer era, that the number of personnel deployed in the sub-Saharan region who were administered Lariam cannot be quantified. Given the concerns that have been expressed by serving soldiers and ex-soldiers in regard to this medicine, those data should be compiled without delay. Will the Minister give a commitment, in advance of any future deployment in...

Medicinal Products (21 Jun 2012)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: One of the questions was about personnel who were administered Lariam but who were deemed unsuitable. There are people who might have depression and for whom the administration of Lariam might be deemed unsuitable. From my knowledge, few, if any, were deemed unsuitable for deployment based on the fact they would have to take Lariam and had some underlying ailment which might have reacted to...

Overseas Missions (21 Jun 2012)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Is there a prospective change in regard to the mission? When a mission starts, it has a concluding date, but coming up to that date one finds it is extended or that additional personnel are required. Has there been a request from the UN for an expanded or extended mission in this region? If so, what is the view of the Minister and the Defence Forces in that regard given the large...

Does any issue arise regarding the equipment and resources required to complete the mission, especially given what...

Order of Business (21 Jun 2012)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: My question is on the same issue. In the coming days and over the weekend, everyone outside of the House and in it will be perusing the report of the Constituency Commission.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Ba mhaith liom ar dtús báire mo chomhbhrón féin agus comhbhrón mo pháirtí a dhéanamh le clann James Nolan, a fuair bás go tragóideach sa Pholainn agus glacaim go mbeadh gach duine sa Teach seo ag luí leis sin agus go nguimid suaimhneas síoraí ar James féin agus tá ár smaointe ag dul leis an chlann ag an am tragóideach seo. I wish to ask the Tánaiste about the impact of...

Leaders' Questions (21 Jun 2012)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I had not suggested the homeless budget was being cut. In fact, it will probably have to be increased as tenants whose landlords will not reduce their rent are obliged to depend on services for homeless persons. I note what the Tánaiste said about the use of NAMA properties for social housing purposes. Is it the intention to lease such properties only or will the Government take the...
