Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

I strongly support Senator Brian Hayes on the issue of the abuse of accident and emergency units in general hospitals, as well as in psychiatric hospitals. Senator Norris tabled a motion some time ago on inappropriate bed occupancy in the Eastern Health Board region and the problem has not gone away in the interim.

I also strongly support Senator Brady in his call for another debate on drugs. Young people going to discos or nightclubs can tell us who is supplying and dealing in drugs. The problem is that the information is not reaching the Garda and the people who are supplying the drugs are not where they should be, namely, in prison.
