Seanad: Dormant Accounts (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (12 Oct 2011)

Ned O'Sullivan: Before I call on the Minister to respond I welcome him and I concur with the positive remarks made about him on both sides of the House.

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Oct 2011)

Ned O'Sullivan: I compliment the two Government Senators who have joined with the Opposition in expressing concern over the Minister for Health's tardiness in attending the House. I see the Leader is cogitating deeply on this matter. When the ranks of Tuscany start to cheer, it is time we should listen. Will the Leader ask the Minister to attend the House earlier than the proposed attendance of 27 October...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Oct 2011)

Ned O'Sullivan: Senator Moloney is the only one doing clinics in Killarney.

Seanad: Road Traffic (No. 2) Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages (29 Sep 2011)

Ned O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister for that information. I am still not entirely happy about the position. The last thing a genuinely ill patient in hospital, and that scenario in itself is traumatic, would want is to have invasive treatment on foot of the law of the land pursuing the person into the hospital. Such a patient is in a very vulnerable position. In addition, the doctor, in many cases it...

Seanad: Road Traffic (No. 2) Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages (29 Sep 2011)

Ned O'Sullivan: Although not to labour the point as we are late in the day in our consideration of the Bill, would it not have been wiser to have legislated for making it possible to use the first medical sample that would have been taken, which would have been taken in a proper medical and non-confrontational way without any legal pressure on the patient? That will have to be addressed sooner rather than later.

Seanad: Road Traffic (No. 2) Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages (29 Sep 2011)

Ned O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister for his attendance and compliment him on his handling of this Bill. I also thank his officials. The Minister was gracious enough to indicate on Second Stage that the previous Fianna Fail-led Government was positive and proactive on road safety measures and some colleagues on the other side of the House were gracious enough to concur with that. The Bill was in gestation...

Seanad: Road Traffic (No. 2) Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages (29 Sep 2011)

Ned O'Sullivan: I support the Minister's position. There are two limits, with one for a standard driver and another for the learner and professional. That is logical and reasonable so I accept there should be a graduation in that respect. The Minister made the most salient point of the day and the Senator would admit that his amendment cannot stand because it would be reckless. We know the 2010 Bill was...

Seanad: Road Traffic (No. 2) Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages (29 Sep 2011)

Ned O'Sullivan: I raised this matter on Second Stage. The Bill allows for a garda to enter a hospital without a search warrant in order to take a sample from somebody admitted to hospital. I understand this can only be taken if the medical authorities allow it and judge that it would not be injurious to an individual's health. What implications will that have for medical practitioners such as junior...
