Eamon Gilmore: I thank my colleague, Deputy Howlin, for bringing this Bill back before the House. I also thank all Members who contributed to the debate, especially those who expressed support for the Bill.

Civil Unions Bill 2006: Restoration to Order Paper (Resumed) (1 Nov 2007)

Eamon Gilmore: ——than they are to the views I know Deputy Cuffe holds. The truth is the Green Party has been sold a pup and been outwitted on the issue. The commitments his party have received are virtually meaningless and are actually a retreat from what was on offer from the then Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, former Deputy, Michael McDowell, in February 2007. At that time the...

Civil Unions Bill 2006: Restoration to Order Paper (Resumed) (1 Nov 2007)

Eamon Gilmore: As Deputy Howlin wrote this morning, the principle of equality is at once simple and unsettling, often unwelcome, yet ultimately unquenchable and undeniable.

Cabinet Committees. (6 Nov 2007)

Eamon Gilmore: Are all three Government parties represented on each Cabinet committee? The dates of meetings were quickly mentioned by the Taoiseach and I did not get them all noted. He indicated a date for the next meeting of the Cabinet committee on science, technology and innovation. When did it last meet? I understand from the Taoiseach that the Cabinet committee on climate change and energy security...

Cabinet Committees. (6 Nov 2007)

Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach did not answer my question. I wanted to know when the Cabinet committee on science, technology and innovation last met. I will put the question another way. Has it met since the Government was formed in June?

Cabinet Committees. (6 Nov 2007)

Eamon Gilmore: I am surprised the Taoiseach does not have an answer to the question he was asked on the dates the committees met.

It seems to indicate that the foot...
