Vaccination Programme: Motion (11 Nov 2008)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Once again the Dáil has to call to account Deputy Harney in her capacity as Minister for Health and Children for what I can only describe as yet another disgraceful decision that will have a most negative impact on the health of the people. Last weekend the Minister's party abolished itself but it is a great pity that the anti-people policies of her party, the Progressive Democrats, so long...

Departmental Expenditure. (11 Nov 2008)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: How often, in the course of a day, does the Taoiseach take the time to read the reports of the communications unit on its monitoring of broadcast and print media reports? I do not know what is the practice. Does the Taoiseach inform himself personally from this or is it done by someone else within the Department? How does it work? With regard to tendering to the private sector and PR...

Departmental Expenditure. (11 Nov 2008)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The Taoiseach's response suggests that the product of the working of the unit is only noted in a casual way and that there is no systematic way of monitoring its reports or taking up the information highlighted in the reports.

I refer to St. Michael's estate, O'Devaney Gardens, Dominick Street, the convent lands on Seán McDermott Street and Infirmary Road. Is the Taoiseach aware that communities in these areas have been waiting for years for the...

Order of Business (11 Nov 2008)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I join with colleagues in opposing the proposition to guillotine the Second Stage debate.
