County Enterprise Boards (Dissolution) Bill 2013 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (6 Feb 2014)

Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (5 Feb 2014)

Denis Naughten: I acknowledge that the Minister met the families and he is to be commended on that. I have three sets of questions. Why did we have to wait until yesterday for foetal blood sampling to be introduced at the sister hospital at Mullingar? With regard to the questions from Deputy Timmins, how many similar reviews have been performed in other hospitals and have the parents of the babies in...

Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (5 Feb 2014)

Denis Naughten: The most disgusting aspect of the debacle is that the parents were told their innocent baby was stillborn when the baby was born alive.

Other Questions: Planning Issues (4 Feb 2014)

Denis Naughten: The difficulty is that the developer is left with responsibility for it because of the way the legislation is worded. Why was the reference changed from residents - that is, the people who are on the register of electors - to the legal owners?

Other Questions: Planning Issues (4 Feb 2014)

Denis Naughten: The reason I have tabled this question is because the regulations in the legislation have changed in that previously it stated that the majority of residents could request that an estate be taken in charge.

Other Questions: Planning Issues (4 Feb 2014)

That causes two problems. First, because of the tax designation and so forth in many parts of...

Other Questions: Planning Issues (4 Feb 2014)
