Seanad: Stem-Cell Research (Protection of Human Embryos) Bill 2008: Second Stage (26 Nov 2008)

Peter Callanan: I thank Senator Hanafin for sharing one minute of his time with me. I will say all I want to in that time. I came here specifically to speak on this substantial Bill and I compliment the three Senators who put their names to it. I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I hope the outcome of this debate will be of benefit to the Minister of State, Deputy Devins. I put on the record...

Peter Callanan: The Senator should be allowed to repeat the comments——

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Nov 2007)

Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (31 Oct 2007)

Peter Callanan: I join with the tributes being paid to the memory of the late Joe Sherlock. I can only endorse the fine words which have been expressed about him. Without going into repetition I can say that Joe Sherlock was a man with a mission who served his people well. He took pride in this for as long as we were together on Cork County Council. My colleagues from Cork County Council will understand...

Seanad: Order of Business (3 Oct 2007)

Peter Callanan: It will not happen.

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Mar 2007)

Peter Callanan: It will be done after the general election.

Seanad: Energy Resources: Motion (11 Oct 2006)

Peter Callanan: I welcome the Minister of State. I support the motion and welcome the Green Paper which lays downs all the road markings we require to follow for the White Paper. It is a pity the House may divide on the motion. The three pillars listed in the Green Paper are security of supply, environmental sustainability and economic competitiveness. We talk about the all-Ireland approach which is...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Oct 2006)

Peter Callanan: Go away out of it.

Seanad: A Strategy for Cancer Control in Ireland: Statements. (28 Jun 2006)

Peter Callanan: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Seán Power, to the House. Earlier the Minister of State, Deputy Tim O'Malley, asked the House to commend the Government for its positive and demonstrable commitment to cancer services and I do so. I spoke here a few years ago on the topic of cancer. Normally I do not go outside my brief of agriculture. However, cancer and I are friends, and have...

Seanad: A Strategy for Cancer Control in Ireland: Statements. (28 Jun 2006)

Peter Callanan: I do not understand why specialists recommend confining the treatment to that age band. While it is somewhat late, I welcome the pilot cervical cancer screening programme. However, there appears to be no mention of male-specific cancer. For example, what is being done to address prostate cancer and testicular cancer? Cures are readily available and can be successfully administered for such...

Seanad: Order of Business. (21 Jun 2006)

Peter Callanan: Hear, hear.

Seanad: Order of Business. (24 May 2006)

Peter Callanan: I am glad that Senator Coonan raised the issue he did. It affords me the opportunity of saying that the costings announcement will be made in the next 24 or 48 hours. We should appreciate that fact and welcome it.

Seanad: Order of Business. (24 May 2006)

Peter Callanan: It is important that the proper response be made. The issue Senator Coonan raised about having standard development charges throughout the country is equally important. I totally agree with him that something should be done about that. I compliment the Minister for Agriculture and Food on the changes she has introduced concerning the early retirement scheme. It is good news and we should...

Seanad: Order of Business. (24 May 2006)

Peter Callanan: All right.

Seanad: Order of Business. (16 May 2006)

Peter Callanan: Can Senator Coonan not welcome the allocation?

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 May 2006)

Peter Callanan: I wish to be associated with the tributes paid to Archbishop Eames, who has served his country and community well. I commend Senator Ó Murchú and join him in acknowledging the role of the Kent family in the struggle for Irish freedom. On this day 90 years ago, 9 May 1916, Thomas Kent was put to death by the then occupying forces. He is still held in high regard in Cork generally and in...

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 May 2006)

Peter Callanan: Deputy Michael Ahern. Perhaps I should not have mentioned it. However, as the Leader asked me, I responded. His penultimate request was that an Irishman would not be asked to shoot him, which was granted. He was also a member of the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association and asked the attending priest, Fr. Sexton, to return his pioneer badge to his curate in Castlelyons, Fr. Ahern. It is also...

Seanad: Agrifood Sector: Motion. (29 Mar 2006)

Peter Callanan: The Senator has been nominated.

Seanad: Agrifood Sector: Motion. (29 Mar 2006)

Peter Callanan: Perhaps I might start where I left off, having run out of time. Before I do so, I pay tribute to the Minister for Agriculture and Food, Deputy Coughlan, also acknowledging the staff of the Department, who have served this country and the interests of agriculture well, no matter who was in Government. Earlier I made a special plea to the Minister that I hope both she and the House will...
