Andrew Doyle: There is a saying that Kilkenny used to be the capital of Ireland, Dublin is now and Cork will be in the future. If Deputy Buttimer has his say, that will happen sooner rather than later. I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate, which is taking place in week one of the fourth year of this Government's term. It is a good time to review where we have come from and look ahead...

Jerry Buttimer: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. There is an obligation on the Government to act and there is a similar obligation on us as parliamentarians to ask for a motion before the next meeting of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, as we cannot allow discrimination to continue with regard to sexual orientation. We accept that people have and will be killed as a consequence of this...

Topical Issues: Medical Card Reviews (27 Feb 2014)

James Reilly: ...medical cards based on very loose criteria while those desperately in need in other parts of the country could not. As stated by the Chairman of the Joint Committee on Health and Children, Deputy Buttimer, in the old days in certain parts all it took was a telephone call and a representation and a person got a medical card. That is not fair. We want equity in the system in so far as we...

Jerry Buttimer: I thought the Battle of Clontarf had resumed, given that Deputy McGrath launched the local election campaign of a candidate in the House. I wonder if that was his intention. He forget to mention the fine work of Fine Gael councillors and the Minister of State, Deputy Brian Hayes, on flood alleviation measures in the Clontarf area.
