Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31 (30 Nov 2006)

Paudge Connolly: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, that despite the Irish Cancer Society and the local cancer steering committee jointly funding in 2004 a full-time oncology liaison nurse post for Cavan General Hospital, the HSE Dublin North East has failed since 2004 to provide a position number for the advertising and filling of the...

Noise Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Nov 2006)

Paudge Connolly: I am sharing time with Deputies McHugh, Catherine Murphy and Ó Snodaigh. I want to support this Bill, which is long overdue.

Pig and Poultry Sectors. (29 Nov 2006)

Paudge Connolly: I have no doubt that the Minister of State shares my concerns. The problem lies in what happens after the transitional arrangements expire. My difficulty is with the Cavan and Monaghan aspect of the problem. It appears to me that Cavan and Monaghan have been left out. A major part of our farming sector is made up of the poultry and pig industries and small farmers in these industries have...
