Health Services. (27 Jan 2009)

Eamon Scanlon: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for giving me the opportunity to raise this issue. It has just come to my attention that there is a proposal before the Health Service Executive to reform the HSE regions for administrative purposes. Apparently all the regions will be restored to their former status, with the exception of the north west. I request further information on this proposal....

Recall of Irish Pork and Bacon Products: Statements (9 Dec 2008)

Eamon Scanlon: Everybody accepts that the right decision was taken. With regard to the process for turning bread into animal feed, because bread is made up of so much moisture, it has to be dried at a very high temperature. If it is the case that the packaging on the bread and on whatever other product was used, was not removed and possibly at the high temperature melted into the feed, could this be the...

Agriculture: Motion (Resumed) (3 Dec 2008)

Eamon Scanlon: Like other speakers I am glad of the opportunity to speak on this matter. We are in a difficult and unprecedented economic period and we must be realistic about the situation we face. We must work together to pull through the current financial downturn. Reactions to the announcements of the budgetary measures that affect agriculture have been unfair. However, they are understandable. I...

Agriculture: Motion (Resumed) (3 Dec 2008)

Eamon Scanlon: Every grant that is approved will be paid. There is an important point. One listens to commentators and thinks that this money comes from Europe. It does not. Every cent of this money comes from the Irish taxpayer. In fairness, as was said earlier, I do not believe that €615 million will be sufficient. A number of applications have yet to come in before the end of the year and we are...

Motor Vehicle (Duties and Licences) (No. 2) Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (27 Nov 2008)

Eamon Scanlon: This Bill is another element in the process of encouraging innovation in the use of motor vehicles. We are increasingly aware of the effect of car use on the environment. In that context, the launch of the new vehicle labelling system last June was a welcome development. The changes that were made to the vehicle registration tax and annual motor tax regimes for new cars registered on or...

Eamon Scanlon: As the time has expired, I thank the Ceann Comhairle for the opportunity to speak and will be brief.

Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (8 Oct 2008)

Eamon Scanlon: I am pleased to speak on this matter. One issue relevant to the matter of constituencies is the breaching of county boundaries. My constituency traverses Sligo and north Leitrim. Many people in Leitrim would prefer that the county was treated as one single constituency. They believe the county's interests as a whole would be better served as one entity. Whether this is true, it is a...
