- Written Answers — Health Services: Health Services (8 Apr 2009)
John Moloney: The supplement referred to by the Deputy was published at the request of the Health Service Executive (HSE).

Unfortunately, the Minister for Education and Science, Deputy Batt O'Keeffe, cannot be here to respond. Modernising facilities in our existing building stock as well as the need to respond to...

I made it clear on her behalf that while the HSE states that it does not have the funding at present this situation...

While it can be a very rewarding experience, it often involves...

John Moloney: Over the years since the Carers Association became active in making representations to the political process one fact that has become very apparent from its deliberations and presentations is that it never wanted commitments or promises made that could not be costed or fulfilled. I share the Senator's belief that we can never do enough for carers, but I have to support the Government's...

I am doing the same in the Seanad.
