- Liquor Licensing Laws: Motion (Resumed). (15 Jun 2005)
Charlie O'Connor: It requires a great deal of time to deal with this issue but I am aware we are all under pressure. I welcome the attendance of the Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children, Deputy Seán Power. It is a reminder that the public's concern about alcohol related disorder and health problems must be recognised. The safeguards and proposals intended to combat these problems are...

- Liquor Licensing Laws: Motion (Resumed). (15 Jun 2005)
Charlie O'Connor: It is important to realise the challenge of off-licences and I am pleased the Minister is considering this.

I am pleased the Bill...
- Health Services. (16 Jun 2005)
Charlie O'Connor: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for giving me the opportunity to raise this serious issue. He will know, as other Members do, that I often raise issues relating to Tallaght. I am positive about the town, the third largest population centre in the State. Tallaght has often been described as having the population of a city but the status of a village. Thankfully, over the past 14 years, there has...
- Health Services. (16 Jun 2005)
Charlie O'Connor: In an editorial last week, it claimed the decision of the Health Service Executive to withdraw funding for the women's refuge in south Dublin for victims of domestic violence is a disgrace and should be reversed immediately. I do not want to pile it all on the Minister of State but this is a serious issue. On a day when the Health Service Executive is applauding its new chief executive, it...

- Morris Tribunal: Motion (Resumed). (22 Jun 2005)
Charlie O'Connor: I am glad to have an opportunity to speak on this matter and to follow my good friends in the Progressive Democrats in doing so.

I will compliment him on raising this matter because it gives us an opportunity to debate these important issues....
- Morris Tribunal: Motion (Resumed). (22 Jun 2005)
Charlie O'Connor: A number of people argue that one cannot implement anti-social behaviour orders because of what the Morris report states on the Garda SÃochána.

In Tallaght, as in other parts of the country,...
