Seanad: Order of Business (19 Jul 2012)

Jillian van Turnhout: I welcome the Fianna Fáil proposal to take all Stages of the Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical Goods) Bill, which I would wholeheartedly support. Although I have not had an opportunity to discuss it with my group, I know there would be much support. Today's newspapers carry reports of a case heard in the Dublin District Children's Court yesterday about the HSE's inability to find...

Jillian van Turnhout: With the agreement of the Chair I wish to share my time, allowing Senator Zappone two minutes and Senator O'Donnell one minute, respectively.

Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Application to Third Countries and Amendment) and Extradition (Amendment) Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages (18 Jul 2012)

Jillian van Turnhout: I am disappointed that this has been rejected on the basis that the Attorney General has not had time and because the clock is ticking down. I appreciate the Minister's honesty in saying that. When I tabled the amendment I considered our EU obligations in complying with the European arrest warrant framework. I was very careful with the language used. I appreciate it needs to be considered...

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jul 2012)

Jillian van Turnhout: Senator Bacik referred to the proposals for constitutional change, many of which I support. There has also been considerable discussion of the constitutional convention.

I thank the large number of my colleagues who attended the briefing this morning by the Children's Rights Alliance on why we need an...

Jillian van Turnhout: I welcome the Minister to the House and I welcome the Bill. I was very disappointed this morning that we did not get an opportunity to debate the resolution to establish the constitutional convention. I was extremely frustrated, but I have issued a statement to outline what I would have said on that occasion. I do not have a difficulty with us using this method to select 66 members. In...
