Leaders’ Questions.
I remind the Tánaiste that in 2002, in respect of measures to combat corruption in police forces, the Government committed to a package of measures at Interpol, including provision for an annual revie...
——including some of my learned friends in the media. He said the Minister had taken it into account. As the leader of the Progressive Democrats, does the Tánaiste stand over this insult to Morris? Thi...
How far standards in the House have fallen when the Tánaiste rows in behind the mantra the Taoiseach trotted out yesterday. None of that has any meaning. She said the Minister is big enough and strong...

I do not think there is any prospect of Northern Ireland taking over Cavan-Monaghan. The Ceann Comhairle can relax. Six years ago today, on behalf of the Labour Party, I introduced the Whistleblowers ...
Minister of State, Deputy Parlon, was actively progressing the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell’s going down.
There is much interest outside the House in this issue. Can I take it from that statement that it is not the intention of the Government to introduce a whistleblowers Bill?

I will, Sir, but I want to make this point. The Tánaiste, on behalf of the Government, has just said there is no intention of bringing in a whistleblowers Bill. Yesterday, when an amendment was put to...
——the Minister of State, Deputy Parlon, said he was ruling out the amendment because there was a whistleblowers Bill coming.
I will not have an opportunity on it, Sir.
I am trying to clarify the Government’s position and if there is legal advice to the effect that the Tánaiste says there is — I am not disputing her word — the least we are entitled to is to have that...
It was promised yesterday.
Why was it voted down yesterday in the Civil Service Regulation (Amendment) Bill?
This is promised legislation.
