Local Government (Business Improvement Districts) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (12 Dec 2006)

Seymour Crawford: I appreciate that, not all Ministers do it. It does not, however, address the problem that there must be some leeway to allow those people to get off the ground. There is a business in south Monaghan in a factory that was closed for many years. It is now a cement works, a completely different enterprise from the towel factory it once was. It has been compared to all sorts of other...

Order of Business (6 Dec 2006)

Seymour Crawford: Approximately 12 months ago, a Bill on the advertising of alcohol at sports centres and other venues was removed from the Order Paper. The Taoiseach promised at that stage that the situation would be re-examined depending on the actions of private industry. What are his current thoughts in that regard and will the Bill return to the House? In the light of the obvious lack of knowledge...

Health Services. (5 Dec 2006)

Seymour Crawford: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing me to raise this important issue and the Minister for replying to it. It is a serious situation in which the HSE has failed to provide a physiotherapist in the Drogheda-Dundalk region, which covers south Monaghan.

British-Irish Agreement (Amendment) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (5 Dec 2006)

Seymour Crawford: I welcome the opportunity to say a few words on this Bill. It may not be the most important Bill to come before the House but it is essential to allow the funding from the PEACE and INTERREG programmes to continue. This funding has been important but could have been more so if it had been additional as it was intended to be. I make no apology for that criticism. We need a great deal of...
