John Gormley: Question 562: To ask the Minister for Defence if he will explain the much higher than average absenteeism rates in the Defence Forces and the serious shortage of medical staff; the way he will address both of these problems; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38478/06]

Estimates for Public Services 2007: Motion (Resumed) (22 Nov 2006)

John Gormley: Let me refer to the speech made by the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Deputy Parlon, who referred to the additional money being allocated for flood protection measures. He spoke glowingly of the flood maps. While the flood maps are fine and indicate to people that they are in a vulnerable area, they do very little to protect people. Deputy Parlon is the Minister of State...

One of the main functions of this legislation is to ensure foster carers are not obliged to obtain permission to seek medical or dental treatment or immunisation for a child, or to allow the...

Military Neutrality. (23 Nov 2006)

John Gormley: Question 3: To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs if, in view of the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld, the Government will reconsider its decision to allow the US military to use Shannon Airport; his views on whether the war in Iraq has destabilised the country and been counterproductive and that the coalition forces should set a deadline for withdrawal; and if he will make a statement on...

Military Neutrality. (23 Nov 2006)

John Gormley: The Minister started by trotting out the usual rubbish about this being long-standing policy. It is not a long-standing policy. I remind him that in the Horgan case, Mr. John Rogers, SC, made it very clear that between 1945 and 1991 successive Irish Governments imposed very strict limitations on the use of Irish territory, even in peacetime. It allowed US troops transit on Irish territory...

Military Neutrality. (23 Nov 2006)

Overseas Development Aid. (23 Nov 2006)

John Gormley: Does the Minister of State agree that Self Help is doing outstanding work in Uganda, Ethiopia and elsewhere? I assume this is the reason that he initially accepted the organisation into the multiannual funding programme. Will he explain why its funding has now been cut?
