Order of Business.
Since 1972.
I should like to raise a matter of the same kind as the Taoiseach frequently raised in the last Dáil on the Order of Business. The quarterly industrial inquiry was published in the newspapers this mo...
The news it contains is that Fianna Fáil have created nearly three times as many desk jobs as working jobs. The point is that, at a moment when that printed survey was in the hands of the newspapers,...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Education for Offenders.
Can the Minister——
As a non-contentious footnote——
Can the Minister say——
——whether, regarding the teaching element——
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Legal Aid Scheme.
This question is a collector's item. Such a list was never given in anything but tabular form before.
At least they are not on the Legion of the Rearguard as they once were, minstrel boys one and all.
I do not want to obstruct the giving of information even about individuals where State money is concerned.
Is it not a rule of this House that individuals' names are not mentioned inside the House in connection with their private affairs?
If it is not a rule it certainly is a practice or convention and I believe this is the first time it has ever been breached.
I tell the Minister that I do not know three-quarters of the names he mentions and I have no vested interest in crime.
This performance is without precedent. It is an attempt by Deputy Briscoe and the Minister in collusion to achieve some cheap political point. I have no interest in any of these gentlemen. There ar...
——which receive a tabular reply. It is disgraceful.
They are soft on the IRA on answering questions. We will take no——
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Protection Money Payments.
Bring up the jurors.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Passport Applications.
Are any of the grounds on which passports are refused statutory or are they all common law grounds or grounds of rule of thumb applied by his own Department?
I am not complaining.
asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs (a) the number of new passport applications made in the first ten months of this year, with comparative figures for the same periods in 1976 and 1977; and (b) a ...
While accepting that it will be a lengthy business for the Department to go through 96,000 application forms and take out the information I am looking for I should like to know if the Department have...
I accept that but I wanted to discover whether there was any information of the kind which the Department of Economic Planning and Development would need——
I completely ignore it when the Chair lets one question go on for a longer period than another and does not permit me to ask a second supplementary.
I resent the Chair using language like that towards me. I am no worse than Deputies on either side of the House and I feel than when the Chair allows one question to go on for ten minutes and another...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Conference on the Law of the Sea.
asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will make, either by way of reply to this question or in some form that he may find more convenient, a full statement on the progress to date of the Confer...
I should like to know whether anything useful has emerged from the last session of the Law of the Sea Conference with regard to our potential rights on the continental shelf or in the seabed further o...
Local Government (Financial Provisions) Bill, 1977: Committee Stage (Resumed).
And Deputy de Valera single-handed kept this House three weeks on the wealth tax in 1975 and he was not even a spokesman.
Deputies Sean Treacy and Jones were saints by comparison.
