Mary O'Rourke: It does not matter what she supports, she has a formidable intellect and a pioneering spirit. She ensured the Crisis Pregnancy Agency moved along with its difficult remit when it was set up during difficult times. Ms Catherine Bulbulia is the present director and she is equally formidable in intellect and acumen. She appeared before the Committee on the Constitutional Amendment on Children...
- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2009: Second Stage (2 Apr 2009)
Mary O'Rourke: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Bill. It is multifaceted and introduces many changes, some of which are desirable but more of which are worrying. I disagree with the remarks of Deputies O'Sullivan and O'Reilly's on the National Treatment Purchase Fund. I find it is a useful mechanism. Constituents approach me who have been waiting six months for a hip operation, I contact the...

- Industrial Development Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Second Stage (26 Mar 2009)
Mary O'Rourke: I am glad this Bill is being introduced because although it is purely technical in nature, as the Minister pointed out, it gives us an opportunity to discuss various business matters. The Minister himself did so as did several speakers and that, in itself, is important. I also welcome that the anomaly regarding grants to small companies in parts of the Border, midland and western, BMW,...

- Industrial Development Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Second Stage (26 Mar 2009)
Mary O'Rourke: The Industrial Development Bill depends on workers. There cannot be industry without workers and there cannot be workers without social cohesion.

- Industrial Development Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Second Stage (26 Mar 2009)
Mary O'Rourke: Yes, we are broad Europeans. We need the social cohesion which the worker and employer representatives bring to the table as we start to prepare for a second referendum on the Lisbon treaty. This is a good technical Bill. It allows us here to talk about various matters. There is the fine work done by Enterprise Ireland and the county enterprise boards. There is also the enormous...

It was about a 16 year old girl who is suffering from severe scoliosis, which is a curvature of the spine. She has been to her local doctor and her consultant in...

It received detailed scrutiny there and worthwhile suggestions were put forward, particularly on dealing with the issue of homelessness on which I will comment later. I very much approve of a Bill of this nature. It seeks to bring...
