Ceisteanna — Questions - Social Partnership Agreements.
Asked the minister: if he will report on his role in the talks on the social partnership process; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Asked the minister: the reports published by the National Economic and Social Forum since June 2002; the procedures in his Department for responding to such reports; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Is the Taoiseach making a commitment to accommodate a full debate in this House in the autumn, but with no prospect of it being accommodated in the coming week, prior to the summer recess? I would wel...
That was a question. Can the Taoiseach identify what measures are in the agreement to protect workers’ rights over and above the enforcement of existing labour laws? Does he accept that these laws sho...
Question No. 4 in my name is quite specific in its focus on the NESF report. I ask the Taoiseach if he will comment specifically on the recommendations in that report.
That is not the case.
What about the new partnership agreement and the important factor of low pay?
That is not the case.
Does the Taoiseach ever read anything we say? I know that he never listens.
Perhaps the Ceann Comhairle should ask the Taoiseach to answer the question——

Question put: “That the proposal for dealing with No. 19 be agreed to.”
Voted No
When does the Taoiseach intend that the work of the all-party committee will get under way? He referred earlier to the summer period. We do not have a firm proposal for a meeting to launch the committ...
Deputy McManus’s call is valid and I fully support her.
I do not know to which vote the Ceann Comhairle refers.
On the same matter——
Surely it is appropriate——
The people with whom the Government was supposed to be in consultation——
Priority Questions - Cross-Border Projects.
Asked the minister: the measures in relation to increased north south co-operation that he envisages will be included in the National Development Plan 2007-2013; and the discussions he has had to date with the relevant D...
I thank the Minister for his reply. Will he confirm that his Department and all others have been requested by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Dermot Ahern, to incorporate the all-Ireland dime...
I thank the Minister for reflecting so positively. I share his hope that we will see the devolved administration back up and running very shortly, since we both recognise that it will be the critical ...
Other Questions - Industrial Disputes.
Does the Minister believe that because of the Labour Court hearings, there is now established a clear distinction between the employees of agencies as against those who are civil servants employed wit...
