- Private Members' Business (3 Nov 2010)
Seán Sherlock: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. The Labour Party supports the Fine Gael motion. Although the motion speaks specifically to the incompetence of the Government, with particular regard to the banking crisis, it is important to speak about the lack of regulation of the money lending and debt advisory sector. In the current regulatory environment there is a coterie of so-called debt advisers...

- Afforestation Programme (4 Nov 2010)
Seán Sherlock: I welcome the Minister's response, but I ask him to forgive me if I missed something in his reply. Will the Government achieve a target of 10,000 ha. this year: yes or no?
- Afforestation Programme (4 Nov 2010)
Seán Sherlock: I wish to consider the matter from two perspectives. Would the Minister of State acknowledge that ensuring the target is met would potentially capture in the private forestry sector up to 160,000 tonnes of CO2?

To...
