Order of Business (25 Jun 2009)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: There should be no surprise that the Minister for Finance, Deputy Lenihan, saw no problem whatsoever with the reports because the interpretation he quite rightly might put on them is that they exonerate him in his current role as Minister and lay the blame firmly and squarely on the former Minister for Finance, the current Taoiseach. What a wonderful way to start the day, particularly when...

It is absolutely disgraceful. There is importance in the subject matter of each piece of legislation before...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (24 Jun 2009)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The Chair indicated we have a choice procedurally, but he did not indicate there is a time constraint.
