Seanad: Order of Business (9 Nov 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I strongly support Senator Mary White in her remarks about children being inappropriately placed in adult psychiatric facilities. Child and adolescent psychiatry is a specialised area. I encountered this when I was in the profession, and I am disappointed to hear that it still obtains. Every effort must be made to reverse it.

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Nov 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I must compliment the Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children, Deputy Moloney, on the efforts he is making in the area of psychiatric services. It was certainly the Cinderella service for many years, but since he became a Minister of State he has been making a real effort, and I commend him on it. We must clearly state in the House that the placing of children in need of...

Seanad: Seanad Electoral (Panel Members) (Amendment) Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Nov 2010)

Camillus Glynn: In the past the Local Authority Members Association, LAMA, made a number of applications to be included in the list of bodies eligible to nominate a person to go forward for election to the Seanad from the Administrative Panel, but its efforts in this regard were unsuccessful. I have no difficulty with the Bill in principle, but it is strange it has been brought forward by Fine Gael which...

Seanad: Diabetes Treatment and Management: Motion. (27 Oct 2010)

Camillus Glynn: Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an Aire Stáit. I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Áine Brady. I thank the Leader of the House for arranging for this debate at my request. On several occasions in the past, not just in this Seanad but in previous ones, I have sought a debate on types 1 and 2 diabetes. Having listened to colleagues on all sides of the House, it is clear that...

Camillus Glynn: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. He is very welcome back to Seanad where he spent many years. These statements afford us an opportunity as Members of the Oireachtas to welcome the initiative the Minister of State has taken in having the survey completed. The in-depth survey provides the diagnosis and the prescription and it is important to know the problem. The report was prepared by...

Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Oct 2010)

Camillus Glynn: Some time ago, I complained in the Chamber about the loss of a dermatologist from the Midland Regional Hospital Mullingar. I am pleased to advise the House that a replacement has been found. Dr. Barbara Wynne commenced duty in the hospital last Monday. She has a staff of two, including a secretary and a nurse, and will have back-up from St. James's Hospital. Will the Leader arrange for a...

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Jul 2010)

Camillus Glynn: I strongly support Senator Corrigan and others who have rightly objected to the concept of people who have a psychiatric aspect to their illness being returned to psychiatric hospitals. Many good people in the psychiatric services give an enormous amount of their time and significant resources are put into preparing for return to the community people who had been institutionalised. It is...

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Jun 2010)

Camillus Glynn: All right-minded people would have to welcome the result of the Saville report and the comments of the British Prime Minster, David Cameron, MP. To some extent, the report is cold comfort to the relatives of the 14 people who were murdered, but there are many more victims, as Senator Harris stated. As to whether the people who committed the Bloody Sunday atrocity should be tried, the answer...

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Jun 2010)
