Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (22 Apr 2021)

David Cullinane: ..., we need weekly reporting on the estimated delivery of vaccines. We accept all the caveats that can be put on it. The Minister is correct that the HSE confirmed to us that there were a number of interruptions on the supply side. We accept that those interruptions are not the responsibility of the HSE or, indeed, the Government. It is important we get weekly figures for the actual...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Public Health Measures: Update from Health Service Executive (9 Mar 2021)

David Cullinane: Who, at a senior level, is in contact with the pharmaceutical companies? We know we have had several interruptions in supply. It was reported in today's edition of The Irish Timesthat there was a target of 1.7 million doses by the end of March. We were told it was 1.4 million earlier this year when others appeared before this committee. It dropped down to 1.2 million because of an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Public Health Measures: Update from Health Service Executive (9 Mar 2021)

David Cullinane: I have very limited time. We have seen several interruptions on the supply side. A number of times Astra Zeneca has left us short, as did Moderna last week. How many times has that happened? Are we still on course to reach that target or because of those interruptions, will we now not reach that target of 1.2 million by the end of March?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Mar 2017)

David Cullinane: We have just had an example of the interruptions. They happened a couple of times when Teachta Connolly spoke. Every time that we raise issues that are directed at the Minister or a Government representative, the Government representatives on the committee interrupt us. That makes it difficult for us to do our job. I do not interrupt Teachta Madigan when she makes her point nor does...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Mar 2017)

David Cullinane: I identified this pattern yesterday and it needs to be dealt with by the Chairman, with respect. Why the constant interruptions when we make points? A fair procedure would be to put one's hand up, wait until the person makes his or her point and if one disagrees with the person, then one can come back in. The constant interruptions are a source of irritation for those of us who simply want...

David Cullinane: They made plenty of interruptions in the past.

Seanad: Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (19 Dec 2014)

David Cullinane: He is the one who is interrupting. My questions are direct questions to the Minister of State. We are paid to come in here and ask questions of the Minister and this is what I will do because I know people out there want me to do it. They are not interested in interruptions. How is it fair? Why has indirect rather than progressive taxation been used? Why are none of these policies...

Seanad: Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (16 Dec 2014)

David Cullinane: There is not much evidence of that latitude, all I can hear are interruptions. The Leas-Chathaoirleach, when he was in the Chair, allowed for a proper and free-flowing debate. When we seek to highlight such issues, namely, the need for proper pre-budget debates, we are informed that we should raise them when the legislation comes before the House. When we do that, we are informed that our...

David Cullinane: If I could continue. I thank the Senators for their interruptions. The reality is this-----

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

David Cullinane: I will forgive Fianna Fáil Senators for their interruptions, because I know corruption is a very sensitive issue for them. The issue I wish to raise today, if I can be allowed to do so-----

Seanad: Thirtieth Amendment of the Constitution (Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union) Bill 2012: Committee and Remaining Stages (24 Apr 2012)

David Cullinane: Here we go again with the interruptions. What is involved here will place a straitjacket on future Governments in the context of their being in a position to manage and control our budgetary and fiscal affairs. It is not possible to state that the treaty imposes very strict rules in respect of fiscal discipline and then state that it will not place future Governments in a straitjacket. The...

Seanad: Thirtieth Amendment of the Constitution (Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union) Bill 2012: Committee and Remaining Stages (24 Apr 2012)

David Cullinane: I will forgive the interruptions. If we vote "No" in the referendum, what choices will be left open to us in the context of the ESM treaty? Regardless of the way in which the people vote, what will be the process for the implementation of that treaty in the aftermath of the referendum? The Minister of State referred to the very important and forthcoming anniversary of the 1916 Rising. He...
