Seanad: Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2010: Second Stage (30 Jun 2010)

Geraldine Feeney: I welcome the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Harney, and thank her for giving the House so much of her time.

This is not a political point, but there is...

Seanad: Order of Business (30 Jun 2010)

Geraldine Feeney: I support Senator Keaveney's call for a debate early in the next session on the banning of sunbeds.

There are parents of girls as young as seven and eight years who...

Seanad: Order of Business. (22 Jun 2010)

Geraldine Feeney: I support Senator Boyle's call for a debate on mental health, concentrating in particular on the area of detention. Senator Boyle's story of a 26 year old girl who has been in a mental institution for the past five years because a person believes if she is not so confined she will be promiscuous beggars belief. I recall the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Harney, saying last week...

I hail from the same neck of the woods. Unlike Senator Phelan, I know the Taoiseach well. For...

Seanad: Confidence in the Taoiseach: Motion (16 Jun 2010)

Geraldine Feeney: ——and we will wish Deputy Kenny well in his vote of no confidence. It is something of an own goal on behalf of the Opposition when they table a motion like this. It is a damp squib tabling a motion of no confidence in the Taoiseach when their own party is in such disarray. An election in the morning — they all are shouting for it — would be the last thing they would need because...
