British-Irish Agreement (Amendment) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (5 Dec 2006)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: While this is a technical Bill, it gives us the opportunity briefly to reflect on the state of the peace process. We in Sinn Féin are making every effort to ensure that the inclusive Executive, with a DUP First Minister and a Sinn Féin Deputy First Minister is established, along with the restoration of the Assembly, the All-Ireland Ministerial Council and the full working of the...

Health (Nursing Homes) (Amendment) Bill 2006: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2006)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I will be brief. This amendment would make a small concession and give an opening to the Department with the term "exceptional circumstances".
