Order of Business (9 Oct 2007)

Order of Business (4 Oct 2007)

Seymour Crawford: That was not the only thing.

Health Services: Motion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2007)

Seymour Crawford: I am glad the Minister is here and I welcome that valuable change in a health debate. I also welcome the fact that Deputy O'Rourke pointed out the Minister's failure to control spending on the HSE. The Minister is in control and must take responsibility. The original motion did not include the new cutbacks in Monaghan Hospital. The reopening of two reconstructed wards at a cost of...

Health Services: Motion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2007)

Seymour Crawford: I am asking the Minister at this late stage to at least consult with the people of Monaghan. She should meet them here or elsewhere, but she should meet with them before it is too late and more lives are lost. HSE personnel intend to take away further services. The special treatment room does a marvellous job, better than anywhere else in the country. It is working well so why withdraw...

Seymour Crawford: Question 137: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when she will allow farmers to sell cattle over 30 months without having to go through a BSE test and pay for it; her views on the fact that factories use the 30 month system to downgrade the price of perfectly good cattle over the 30 month age thus creating a double loss to the farmer and in some cases, particularly in...

Tackling Crime: Statements (Resumed) (3 Oct 2007)

Seymour Crawford: I welcome the Minister, Deputy Brian Lenihan. It is my first time to address him as such in the Dáil. I congratulate him on his post. From what some of his colleagues have said, he will be a breath of fresh air. I hope that comment is justified, but it gives us some indication of what they thought of their colleague, the previous Minister. I said nothing. Crime is a serious matter....

Pigmeat Sector. (3 Oct 2007)

Seymour Crawford: I listened to the Minister's appeal for everybody to come together on this issue. That was similar to the appeals on the nitrates directive, and as a result of the implementation of that directive some of the small pig producers have gone out of business. We want action. I represent a constituency that produces the highest level of poultry and pigmeat in the country. Farmers are waiting...

Pigmeat Sector. (3 Oct 2007)

Seymour Crawford: Are organic farmers included?

Common Agricultural Policy. (3 Oct 2007)

Seymour Crawford: Does the Minister realise many farmers are completely disoriented and leaving the business? I came across a beef farmer last week who had fattened 300 cattle. He is now in New Zealand for the winter because he realises there is no point. Reform of the Common Agricultural Policy has damaged the industry. Does the Minister not accept that point?

Common Agricultural Policy. (3 Oct 2007)

Seymour Crawford: What is the Minister doing with Mr. Mandelson?

Animal Diseases. (3 Oct 2007)

Seymour Crawford: Will the Minister provide an update on what progress has been made, if any, towards an all-Ireland approach on this matter? I appreciate the great work that was done on foot and mouth disease between both Departments. As regards animal diseases, there is nothing to be lost by having a single approach, which should be up and running as quickly as possible.

Order of Business (3 Oct 2007)

Seymour Crawford: I want to raise the issue of the animal health Bill. In light of the blue tongue disease and foot and mouth disease outbreaks in the UK, does the Taoiseach realise that there is a new urgency to adopt an all-Ireland approach to animal disease?

Order of Business (3 Oct 2007)

Seymour Crawford: The animal health Bill is——
