Criminal Justice (Psychoactive Substances) Bill 2010 [Seanad]: Second Stage (2 Jul 2010)

James Reilly: I welcome this important Bill. In regard to the flaws identified by my colleague, Deputy Shatter, I am concerned to know how it will address the sale of these products over the Internet. This is a major issue in respect of psychoactive substances and other drugs sold in this country. I have previously warned people about the issue because even antibiotics and long-term antidepressant...

Order of Business. (1 Jul 2010)

James Reilly: These are the most vulnerable people in society and their elderly parents are doing the State a considerable service by looking after them. By closing respite care facilities, we are now taking away the bit of help we can offer. It is penny wise but pound foolish and it must be addressed before the Houses rises for the summer or else these people will be left without respite for the rest of...

Order of Business. (1 Jul 2010)

James Reilly: The drug prescription Bill, which is before the Seanad, may save a couple of million euro but it will hurt the oldest and most vulnerable. Where is the drugs reference pricing Bill, which could save hundreds of million euro but would hurt the drugs industry? When will it come before the House? The 4,867 people who are unemployed in Balbriggan have had a very small facility available to them...

Order of Business. (1 Jul 2010)

James Reilly: Something needs to be done because with unemployment in the area increasing, unemployed people are not being provided with a proper service. They must travel to visit welfare officers and cannot sign on because the facility is too small. The position is unacceptable.

Patient Safety: Motion (Resumed) (30 Jun 2010)

James Reilly: I take this opportunity to sympathise again with the women, their spouses and their families affected by the misdiagnoses at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. The Minister referred last night to being serious about patient safety. If she is serious, how can she stand over overcrowded accident and emergency units, a situation she promised four years ago to treat as a national emergency? This...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill: Report and Final Stages (30 Jun 2010)

James Reilly: -----that is a different matter entirely. The Minister is a great woman at reframing the question. She stood up and waxed lyrical about the cancer strategy when what is being discussed here is an amendment to a specific Bill on the future use of the lands, facilities and buildings at St. Luke's Hospital.

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill: Report and Final Stages (30 Jun 2010)

James Reilly: However, since she has decided to go down the route she has taken, I will certainly challenge what she has said. She said that the commitment on the cervical cancer vaccine was not reneged upon and merely delayed, and that all those who should have got it will get it. I remind her of her original promise to the House, which was that everybody aged from 13 to 15 would get it. Will they get...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill: Report and Final Stages (30 Jun 2010)

James Reilly: The Minister can wag her head all she wants. Furthermore, she very conveniently neglected to mention her failed and utterly discredited co-location hospital policy. Regarding cystic fibrosis, it is the Minister's duty not just to apportion funds, but also to ensure that those funds are used for the purposes for which they have been allocated and that tendering processes etc. are done in a...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill: Report and Final Stages (30 Jun 2010)

James Reilly: I remind the Minister what I and Deputy Creighton have already told the House her words to me when I said I would table an amendment on Report Stage to have any review of services or new plans for St. Luke's Hospital brought before the committee by the Minister. This would allow Members to have their say and act on the basis of full information. The Minister told me she was happy to agree...
