Disability Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
My amendment under this section was disallowed. I have just looked through the list of amendments that have been disallowed and nine of mine are included in it. Many of them deal with the fundamental ...
I do not know about that. When I consider some of my amendments, the changes involved are only a matter of degree or wording. For some reason some of my amendments that change “may” to “shall” have be...
I would like this issue reviewed because we cannot debate this Bill properly. Many of my amendments raise fundamental issues, including an issue raised with me by the Disability Federation of Ireland ...
I said the issue arose before and was not criticising anybody.
I support Senator Terry’s amendment. Five years is too long a timescale. Even though the Minister of State said a review will take place sooner than five years and not later than five years, it could ...
How can the assessment officer be independent of the Health Service Executive if, under section 8, the officer is an employee of the executive?
Does the Bill provide that the officer is independent?
I support Senator Terry’s proposals in these amendments. I share her fear that somebody could end up never receiving his or her requirements and never have his or her assessment fulfilled. The scenari...
I move amendment No. 17: In page 12, subsection (8)(a), line 11, to delete “may” and substitute “shall”. The amendment seeks to ensure that the person affected by the assessment would be consulted. As...
I wonder about the Minister of State’s response to amendment No. 18. The section’s current wording means it is up to the discretion of a Health Service Executive employee whether to arrange an assessm...
Let us consider a situation whereby somebody with a disability is in a public nursing home and has no contact with anyone except employees of the Health Service Executive who are the only people who m...
Question put: “That section 8 stand part of the Bill.”
Voted No
Disability Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed).
Amendment No. 26 provides that the executive must keep records specifying “the number of applications for assessments” and “the number of persons to whom services identified in assessment reports have...
The amendments do not require individual needs to be specified. Individuals cannot get assessments of their unmet needs. The amendments relate to aggregate needs.
Registration of Deeds and Title Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
Provisionally I welcome the Minister’s initiative but I wonder whether the various parties affected by these changes have been consulted, for example, the staff of the Land Registry and the Law Societ...
I wish to address the last point made by the Minister. Obviously the new authority is a radical departure, but this is not radical law reform because it does not address all of the issues in this area...
I move amendment No. 4: In page 5, before section 3, to insert the following new section: “3.—Part 2 of this Act shall cease to apply to the registration of new deeds as and from the date on which the...
I accept the point made by the Minister that compulsory registration should perhaps be carried out gradually. I do not agree with him that there would be an enormous amount of additional work for the ...
I move amendment No. 40: In page 9, subsection (1), line 15, after “form” to insert “or a form to the like effect”. The purpose of the amendment is to allow for minor variations from the prescribed fo...
I move amendment No. 41: In page 9, subsection (2), line 39, after “proceedings” to insert “or any matter in respect of which proceedings have been instituted prior to the commencement of this section...
I move amendment No. 49: In page 10, line 38, after “search,” to insert “copy,”. We propose the amendment because we think it strange that the right to make copies from the Register of Deeds is not sp...
The purpose of amendment No. 64 is that the chief executive of the Courts Service, or his or her nominee, is already a member of the rule making committee under the Courts Act. We are proposing, in th...
I move amendment No. 53: In page 12, between lines 4 and 5, to insert the following “, and in the case of any such deed, its registration and priority shall be determined in accordance with the law in...
I move amendment No. 54: In page 12, line 8, to delete “this Part” and substitute “section 26”. This is a drafting amendment. We felt it would be easier if people read the Bill and were referred direc...
I move amendment No. 58: In page 13, line 39, to delete “originating in the Land Registry”. I realise that the wording in this amendment may not be correct but the reason behind it is to give the Circ...
Grangegorman Development Agency Bill 2004: Second Stage.
The Minister mentioned links to the DIT and Senators Ormonde and Henry both outlined their links to the institute. I possibly have the greatest number of links to the DIT because I am a former employe...
Hopefully they will get votes in their own right if we implement the reform of the Seanad. One thing about the institute of technology sector and the DIT in particular that has always impressed me is ...
