Leaders’ Questions
The longer this sham of a Government continues, the more unfortunate it is for our people and for our country. Last Sunday, the Sunday Times revealed two hitherto undisclosed meetings between the Tao...
——whose sister has mobility problems and who has now lost her job, and so many thousands of people who see their wages and salary cheques being reduced by higher income taxes and other levies. I have ...
The Taoiseach has taken quite a long time to answer two simple questions I asked him. He did not answer either of them. I made no assertion against him. I did not assert that he intervened in any w...
It is a bit like the last days of the Taoiseach’s predecessor when we had all the explanations about dollar and sterling deposits and Fianna Fáil money for people to buy houses. In the end, it all bo...
I did not ask the Taoiseach who won the game of golf or whether Mr. FitzPatrick——
The Ceann Comhairle started this session by asking Members to remain within the time limits. I did so.
The Taoiseach spoke for at least ten or 12 minutes in his response. I did not ask the Taoiseach whether Mr. FitzPatrick whinged or moaned his way around the golf course, or even whether he gave him t...
I would like to finish by asking three questions of the Taoiseach.
Two of them concern questions I already asked.
My concern relates to what has happened to hundred of thousands of people around the country, including the thousands who have left, the young students who are striving to have a career here, the work...

Ceisteanna — Questions (Resumed) - State Boards
Asked the minister: the number of vacancies that exist on the boards of the agencies and other bodies under the aegis of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Asked the minister: the names, occupations and dates of appointment of those appointed to the boards of the State agencies and bodies under the aegis of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Since the Green Party announced its decision to leave Government at the end of November, at least 35 appointments have been made by Ministers and the vast majority have been made by the leader of the ...
The Minister was always vehemently opposed what he used to term “party hacks”. It seems this tradition, if that is the proper word, is alive and well.
When to decide to go to the country, or to Áras an Uachtaráin, is the Taoiseach’s sole prerogative. There will be much comment about appointments to vacancies. The Taoiseach should suspend any appoi...
The renewed programme for Government makes a commitment to legislate for new transparent means to make appointments. We have discussed this here before. In the case of important appointments, such a...

Asked the minister: the number of freedom of information requests received by him in November 2010; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Asked the minister: the number of freedom of information requests processed by his Department during 2010; the number which have been acceded to; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
On the last occasion we asked such questions, I asked the Taoiseach about a number of agencies that are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Has any consideration been given to extending it...
The latest raft of information here is on the usual questions. I suppose one of the iconic pictures of this Government was the occasion on which it held the meeting in Farmleigh where Minister after M...
Order of Business
In respect of the legislative programme published by the Whip, as the Taoiseach will recall, before the Christmas break interest focused on the importance of getting through the budget, in order that ...
The legislative programme produced by the Whip appears to be more rushed than those to which we are accustomed. We are used to having them provided in different colours of paper — blue, red and green...
The Taoiseach is being up-front today. However, although nobody seems to want the Local Government (Mayor and Regional Authority of Dublin) Bill 2010, it is being rammed through the House for the gra...
Written Answers - Official Engagements
Asked the minister: if he will report on his recent meeting in Dublin with the European Commissioner, Olli Rehn; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
