Cancer Services: Motion. (31 Jan 2007)

Paudge Connolly: I welcome the opportunity to speak in this timely debate which was most likely sparked by the situation in which Rosie in Kilkenny found herself. Many people dread hearing the word "cancer" and commonly refer to it as "the big C". It is associated with pain, suffering and much stress. If there is a suspicion at any time that somebody might be suffering from cancer, an early diagnosis...

Health Bill 2006: Second Stage (24 Jan 2007)

Paudge Connolly: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Health Bill 2006. It is hoped that the theoretical establishment of the Health Information and Quality Authority and the placement of the social services inspectorate, which was established in 1999 on an ad hoc or temporary basis and is now being established on a statutory basis, can only result in the highest quality of standards and health care...

Public Transport: Motion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2006)

Paudge Connolly: I also support the motion. This issue affects us all, even though I live in Monaghan. People from my area can now travel to Dublin in a shorter time. The journey to the airport now only takes one and a half hours because the construction of bypasses has led to improved journey times. If people want to travel south from Monaghan to Wexford, they will encounter traffic, with commuters...

Social Welfare Bill 2006: Second Stage (12 Dec 2006)

Paudge Connolly: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this issue. The Social Welfare Bill 2006 gives effect to the social welfare changes announced in last week's Budget Statement.

I spent some time on that committee and I must say that I enjoyed it. I...

Local Government (Business Improvement Districts) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (12 Dec 2006)

There has been widespread support for business improvement districts, BIDs, since their emergence in the late 1960s or early 1970s in Toronto. BIDs are essentially public private partnerships, to which we have become accustomed, in which property and business owners of a defined area decide to make a collective contribution to...
