Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Prison Officers Sick Leave.

Does the same scheme apply to the Garda Síochána? Am I correct in saying that there is no guarantee that an officer will be paid for sick leave even with a scheme in place? In relation to uncertifie...More Button

Would the Minister regard four days uncertified sick leave in one year as being unsatisfactory? Would the Minister agree that there is a need for consistency among governors before cases are reported...More Button

Were the Minister and the Government made aware of this proposed change in the Northern Ireland law through the workings of the Anglo-Irish conference before it was introduced and, if so, did the Iri...More Button

Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Stun Guns.

I chased the Minister long enough on this issue.More Button

It appears the Minister is getting no support from his Cabinet colleagues.More Button

I think all of us on this side of the House are confused because my understanding is that the Extradition (Amendment) Act lasts only for a period of one year unless renewed by both Houses of the Oirea...More Button

The Minister has not answered my question. The Extradition (Amendment) Act will cease to operate unless renewed by both Houses of the Oireachtas. An amendment was accepted on Report Stage which spe...More Button

When does the Minister propose to fill the 190 vacancies at sergeant level?More Button

May I tell the Minister, and his colleague, the Minister for Finance, Deputy MacSharry, who has just arrived, that it is highly undesirable and very dangerous to treat our police force in this manner?...More Button

There are provisions in the Act which require the sergeants to take certain action before the law can be implemented. Will the Minister give the House an assurance that every step will be taken by hi...More Button

I am not complimenting the Minister, I am asking him to fill all the vacancies.More Button

It is rubbish to talk about the Garda and the Civil Service in this way.More Button

Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Seizure of Cocaine.

asked the Minister for Justice, in light of the information that the supply of cocaine to the European market has increased significantly, the additional steps he intends taking to assist the Garda Sí...More Button

In dealing with this Supplementary Estimate I would like if the Minister, when replying, could avail of the opportunity of giving us some information in relation to the bomb hoaxes in the city centre...More Button

I am always there backing the Minister up in trying to get extra resources to keep some sanity on these islands. Also I cannot understand why we have not been dragged into a court over this whole sch...More Button

I see; it is the other way around. It will be self-financing. That is all I have to say. I do not want to delay the House much longer. I would ask the Minister to comment on the few points I have m...More Button

Are they not losing those premises? I wrote to the Minister about that.More Button

In relation to the three devices, how could the Garda and the Army decide that they were hoaxes?More Button
