- Defence (Amendment) No. 2 Bill 2006: Second Stage (1 Mar 2007)
John Gormley: I join other Members in thanking the Defences Forces for the great work they do throughout the world, particularly at present in Lebanon and Liberia. It is no easy task.

The situation is even more volatile in Lebanon, where, as I predicted...

- Order of Business (6 Mar 2007)
John Gormley: I confirm that Deputy Cuffe was not contacted on this issue either. Has the Taoiseach considered the wider implications here?

- Order of Business (6 Mar 2007)

- Order of Business (6 Mar 2007)
John Gormley: The Government Whip is nodding in agreement. It would be helpful to all of us.
- Order of Business (6 Mar 2007)
John Gormley: The Minister can regulate that. One Bill in which I am interested, and I want the Taoiseach to tell us if we will deal with it in the 13 remaining days, if we can believe that, is the Ethics Bill, which is to amend current ethics legislation to require officeholders and Oireachtas Members to seek the opinionââ

- Decentralisation Programme. (7 Mar 2007)
John Gormley: The Taoiseach will agree the initial proposals on decentralisation by former Minister for Finance, Mr. McCreevy, took everyone by surprise and seemed to be written on the back of an envelope. Does the Taoiseach at this stage have specific proposals on how decentralisation will function? For example, will he spell out how often decentralised staff in his Department will have to commute to...
- Departmental Expenditure. (7 Mar 2007)
John Gormley: I welcome that the Department of the Taoiseach will become carbon neutral at some stage, but does the Taoiseach agree that as leader of the country, he should lead by example? Will he tell the House what he will do to reduce his carbon footprint? I do not expect to see him on a bicycle soon, but will he change his car and take public transport occasionally so he can see what people must...
