Tribunals of Inquiry. (23 Feb 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: On the specific line of questioning relating to the Taoiseach's Department and costs for the Moriarty tribunal, the information he has given us is shocking. Has he taken an overview position on the cost of the Moriarty tribunal and other tribunals in regard to all Departments? The piecemeal approach does not address the core issue of the excessive cost of legal fees for both senior and junior...

Tribunals of Inquiry. (23 Feb 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I appreciate that. In the particular instance, more than €1 million was expended for a brief representation to that Department in regard to that particular issue. While the €18 million is shocking, does the Taoiseach agree that it does not actually reflect the reality of the cost to the Exchequer and to taxpayers of the Moriarty tribunal and all the other tribunals?

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Question 10: To ask the Taoiseach the number of files withheld by his Department from the National Archives in respect of 1974; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3643/05]

National Archives. (23 Feb 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: On the 1974 files, the Taoiseach said that no files relating to the North of Ireland were withheld. Is it the case that as the Dublin and Monaghan bombings took place in this State, files from 1974 may have been withheld on that or any of the matters under investigation by Mr. Justice Barron?

National Archives. (23 Feb 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I am only asking about numbers, which is what we are talking about.

National Archives. (23 Feb 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I have not done that, I am asking a specific question about the numbers in response to what the Taoiseach said himself, regarding files relevant to the North of Ireland, which invites the clarification I seek.

National Archives. (23 Feb 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Is it the case that there may have been between 1972 and 1974 files relevant to the interests of Mr. Justice Barron that may not have been open to public scrutiny? Is it the case that the subject matter of files withheld is never disclosed?

Decentralisation Programme. (23 Feb 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Can the Taoiseach tell the House who now sits on the Cabinet Sub-Committee on Decentralisation? Has a review been carried out, given what I would describe as the revised estimate, the downward revision, which resulted from the failure to secure sufficient interest among civil servants? The figures are clearly lower than initially anticipated by the Government.

Decentralisation Programme. (23 Feb 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The Ceann Comhairle saw fit to interrupt me when he did not know what he was talking about. My question relates to the Department of the Taoiseach. It is becoming extremely tedious to be constantly interrupted.

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Question 102: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that it is impossible for electronic files on patients to be shared between hospitals due to the fact that the primary identifier on a patient's file is a number assigned to him or her by the hospital, which makes cross-referencing impossible, so that if a patient is...
