Centenarian Bounty. (9 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I welcome the extension of the centenarian bounty scheme to include Irish people born in Ireland but living abroad. While this initiative is welcome, it is hardly revolutionary, considering the schemes in other countries. For instance Irish Italians recently flocked to cast their votes for their new Prime Minister Prodi, his Green Party colleagues and others. In that context, will the...

Centenarian Bounty. (9 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: If Deputy Rabbitte wishes to speak, I suppose I can also speak.

Centenarian Bounty. (9 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Will the Taoiseach confirm, as I asked him to do previously, that what is on the website and what people are reading from it is the full position? There is no mention of a requirement that a person must be born here. The website states that the centenarians' bounty is a national award made by the Irish President to people living in Ireland who have reached the age of 100 years. It also states...

Northern Ireland Issues. (9 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I offer sympathy to the family of Michael McIlveen. When we hear about such a brutal attack and the killing of such a young person, there is a chilling sense of déjÀ vu, as we talk about the Ludlow murder in the House. Is the Taoiseach aware of the unhappiness of the Ludlow family about the Garda investigation? Members of the family do not believe that 30 years later it is possible to get a...

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31. (9 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the clear democratic view among farmers and consumers in general that Ireland should develop food production on a GM free basis, most recently expressed by the unanimous decision of Meath County Council yesterday to declare the county a GM free zone; the need for Government to take on board this...

Order of Business. (9 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: As there are enough problems in the health service, I do not wish to add to them. Can I ask about the health Bill, given there is now a new dimension to that whole area? No human health studies have been carried out on genetically modified foods. Some studies have been carried out on rats, but they were not very promising.

Trevor Sargent: Will the health Bill address the new dimension to our problems?

Energy Sector: Motion (Resumed). (10 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: It is important that a clear message is sent to the Government that radical and sincere changes are needed, as my colleague, Deputy Eamon Ryan, stated. People are trying to establish businesses such as Ecofuels Limited in Killarney, County Kerry. I received a letter from the owner when I visited Kerry a month ago about his experience of trying to set up a biodiesel business. He states: I have...

Trevor Sargent: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the actions of this Government which have led to this country now having a record level of vulnerability and dependency on imported energy; the fact that 90% of the energy used in this country is imported; the need for the Government to shift gear urgently to prioritise the maximum possible...
