Accident and Emergency Services: Motion (Resumed). (27 Jan 2005)

Niall Blaney: I recognise that the problem associated with accident and emergency services is nationwide but, like Deputy O'Connor, I will be very parochial in my response to it. I will outline the position on the accident and emergency department and bed capacity at Letterkenny General Hospital. It is important to state that these two issues are related but require different solutions. The very small...

Hospital Accommodation. (23 Feb 2005)

Niall Blaney: I join my colleague, Deputy Keaveney, in speaking about the concern caused by the serious problems faced by Letterkenny General Hospital, which is unable to handle the current level of patient intake. It would be an understatement to say that the circumstances at the hospital, which I visited on Monday, are chronic. I have never witnessed anything like it. The day-services ward has six beds...

Morris Tribunal: Statements. (17 Jun 2005)

Niall Blaney: They should leave the situation well enough alone to Mr. Justice Morris and stop the nonsense. The inquiry may have taken some time but the truth is beginning to surface. I question whether as much would have been uncovered had the inquiry taken place any sooner. To try to put some perspective on the tribunal in the short time available to me, I would be the first to praise the courage of the...

Morris Tribunal: Statements. (17 Jun 2005)

Niall Blaney: I would go so far as to say that collusion took place between the health board and the Garda Síochána in an effort to break her down. Her children were taken from her and she was wrongly imprisoned. She was brutalised, held at gunpoint and with a knife to her throat and was victimised by members of the Garda Síochána. She has lost two homes and her marriage and had a real battle on her...

The plight of the undocumented Irish...

Irish Unification: Motion (Resumed). (3 Nov 2005)

Niall Blaney: I thank the Government speakers for sharing time. I agree with most of the Private Members' motion, particularly the reaffirmation of support for the Good Friday Agreement as endorsed by the people of the island of Ireland.
