Leaders’ Questions
Deputy Kenny rightly referred to the pattern of waste in the HSE over which the Government has presided for many years. The latest example of this is contained in the internal report presented to the...
Nevertheless, the Government charged ahead and spent €50 million on them. Now it cannot sell them.
It is spending approximately €3 million per year to store them in warehouses on 20 or 25 year leases.
I want to ask the Taoiseach two questions in regard to this matter. First, will he confirm to the House that the €50 million is gone, that we will not see it again and, as the spokesperson from the D...
That is not true.
That is not true. The decision was not taken because all-party agreement was not obtained. The decision was taken because an expert group set up to examine whether the system was reliable found it w...
——and accept responsibility for it.

On a possible visit of Queen Elizabeth to Ireland, has President McAleese asked for approval from the Government to invite Queen Elizabeth to visit Ireland? Has the Government approved such an invita...
I want to return to the question I asked the Taoiseach about a possible visit by Queen Elizabeth. In his reply, the Taoiseach said that if there was to be such a visit, it would be likely to be in th...
Ceisteanna — Questions - Freedom of Information
Asked the minister: the number of freedom of information requests received by his Department during the first eight months of 2010; if he will give similar figures for each year going back to 2002; and if he will make...
I refer to the Aarhus Convention on access to information relating to environment matters, which was signed by Ireland in 1998 but which has not been ratified yet. My colleagues have asked the Minist...

Has the Taoiseach’s Department put forward proposals to the various implementation bodies associated with the Croke Park agreement for reforms and cost savings?
Those issues are being dealt with by the staff and the management in the context of Estimates discussions which have begun and are ongoing. The reply that I have been able to give confirms that the D...
Yes, but the Croke Park agreement has been in place since last April.
My understanding is that implementation bodies have been appointed and the idea was that they would consider proposals from Departments for reforms and further savings. Have such proposals been put b...
It is a perfectly legitimate supplementary question. This is a wide-ranging issue. It is pretty straightforward. Have they or not?
It is not.
I only ask the questions.
That is good. I thank the Taoiseach.
Order of Business
I wish to raise two matters with the Taoiseach. Last week, an additional €2.7 billion was allocated to Irish Nationwide Building Society, bringing the total amount for that institution to €5.4 billio...
