Hospital Services. (1 Nov 2006)

Kathleen Lynch: The Minister's answer epitomises what has happened on this issue since 2002. In 2002, 120 children with type 1 diabetes were treated at Cork University Hospital. This year, it is estimated that number will rise to between 207 and 215. As the Minister correctly stated, discussions between the parents' support group and the HSE are ongoing and have been taking place for 18 months. Local...

Hospital Services. (1 Nov 2006)

Kathleen Lynch: We all agree diabetes should be community managed. The difficulty in Cork is that diabetes is not managed at all, either in the community or the hospital. If we were to apply best practice in this area, we would have three nurse specialists, a committed consultant, a specialist dietician and a special area to which patients could come to have prolonged consultation on a frequent basis....

Health Services: Motion (Resumed). (25 Oct 2006)

Kathleen Lynch: I have listened to the debate since last night and clearly Deputy McManus has her finger on the pulse. The reaction to the debate has been significant. The reaction from the Government is even more significant. It is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. As happened with regard to the child care issue during the last by-election, the Government did not know there was a problem...

Disability Act 2005: Motion (17 Oct 2006)

Kathleen Lynch: What is guaranteed is that with the type of approach taken some Departments, which I can identify, of the six will perform well and others will perform poorly. That worries me because there is not one person in this Assembly who does not want to provide services to people with disabilities, except maybe the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell, who...

Disability Act 2005: Motion (17 Oct 2006)

Kathleen Lynch: I appreciate very much the speed at which the plans have come before the Dáil after being in committee last week. During the entire debate on the Disability Act 2005 as it now stands, people felt the lead in time was too long, and that to have it spread over six Departments with six Ministers responsible was cumbersome and really could not possibly be effective in all areas. After looking...

Investment Funds, Companies and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 Oct 2006)

Investment Funds, Companies and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 Oct 2006)

Kathleen Lynch: His contribution was of enormous interest to every consumer and for that he should be congratulated. The Labour Party is broadly supportive of the Investment Funds, Companies and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill in so far as it is intended to resolve anomalies in company law and implement relatively minor, yet significant, changes to the legal framework in which business must be conducted.
