Health Bill 2006: Second Stage (24 Jan 2007)

Seymour Crawford: I wish to share time with Deputies Connaughton and Deenihan. I cannot help but start where Deputy Glennon finished and give total support to the women to whom he referred, which has been evident across parties.

Health Bill 2006: Second Stage (24 Jan 2007)

Seymour Crawford: Subvention is still a major problem. The new rules were introduced before the Dáil went into recess last year.

That is totally unacceptable. It is the wrong way to treat the elderly.

Foyle and Carlingford Fisheries Bill 2006: Second Stage (14 Dec 2006)

Seymour Crawford: I appreciate that Deputy Keaveney knows a lot more about the Foyle fishery than I do, living in one of the most inland areas in Ireland with no access to the sea at all. I welcome the opportunity, however, to say a few words because this forms part of the Good Friday Agreement and, in that context, is extremely important. It is unfortunate that the Northern Ireland Assembly is not in place...

I come from the Border region where rates, insurance and so on have been major headaches. I am slow to agree to more levies that may push businesses further into difficulty. I realise that benefits will accrue from the...
