Special Educational Needs: Motion (Resumed). (23 Feb 2005)

Kathleen Lynch: I appreciate Sinn Féin tabling this motion because it is timely. If it were to be tabled next week or the following week, it would be equally timely. No matter how many times we debate this issue there appears to be no great urgency on the part of the Government to put in place the supports necessary to help children and their parents. No matter what report is put in place and no matter how...

Kathleen Lynch: No Member disagrees with a review of the disbursements mechanism. As projects come on stream and additional moneys are made available, common sense dictates that matters be reviewed. People's needs change, if not on a weekly basis, on a yearly one, so that one will always have to deal with different sets of circumstances. However, Deputy Haughey's claim that this legislation is necessary is...

Dormant Accounts (Amendment) Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (24 Feb 2005)

Kathleen Lynch: The Government backbenchers did. Anyone who says that is telling lies. Government backbenchers have much speedier access to the type of information I have in front of me. Administration and costs are not the difficulty. The reason it is being moved is that the Government did not realise how much this fund held. In its first report, the dormant accounts fund board said it had no concept of how...

Health (Amendment) Bill 2005: Second Stage (Resumed). (2 Mar 2005)

Kathleen Lynch: That is not the case, but that is a debate for another day. When it comes to the elderly we should have debates like this regularly.
