- Social Welfare Benefits. (20 Apr 2010)
Olwyn Enright: I welcome the theory behind this idea and it is important. The present system whereby a person gets permission from the Department to do 20 hours work for a year or up to three years and then that permission is suddenly removed is not ideal.

- Obesity Levels: Statements (1 Apr 2010)
Olwyn Enright: While many other important issues had to be debated in the last while, obesity, which was given much attention several years ago, seemed to have dropped off the radar.

- Special Educational Needs: Motion. (31 Mar 2010)
Olwyn Enright: I recall when this House debated the then Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Bill 2004.

However, if I have all the information in respect...
