Order of Business. (11 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I have been asked by the members of Fingal County Council to raise a matter about forthcoming legislation. They sent a letter. There are quite a number of Fianna Fáil councillors on the council, so I am interested to learn from the Minister's response whether he is listening to them.

Order of Business. (11 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: They are opposed to the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill. It has come from the Seanad. Will the Government withdraw it in response to the wishes of members of the Minister's party? It did not need it to make a bags of the peat stations, the port tunnel, the Ringsend treatment plant or the National Aquatic Centre, so God help what the Government will do now once the...

Programme for Government. (16 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Has the Taoiseach ensured there are no typographical errors in the programme for Government? When one reads the line "a world class health system", one wonders whether the word "third" should be before "world". Is that what the Government meant to say, given the evidence? Last night's television programme was more clear evidence of the problems in the health service. I must take my hat off to...

Programme for Government. (16 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Will the programme for Government deliver any of the measures to which it is committed? Given time is so short, is any mechanism in place to ensure action from the programme for Government is based on meeting the areas of greatest need? Is a mechanism in place to prioritise commitments made? Alternatively is it just a matter of business as usual and ensuring every issue gets the same...

National Drugs Strategy. (16 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I am interested in the Minister of State's claim that everything possible is being done. Does he agree the courses being conducted in my local area by the Balbriggan Awareness of Drugs group, which are parent to parent type courses, need to be promoted so parents who we need to become involved do so. All too often, those who are more likely to be aware of drugs come to find out more...

Trevor Sargent: Question 69: To ask the Aire Gnóthaí Pobail, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta ar léigh sé alt le duine (sonraí tugtha) agus cad é an plean atá aige chun freastal ar na cuspóirí a bhí ag Institiúid Teangeolaíochta Éireann agus an mbunóidh sé institiúid taighde don Ghaeilge chun téarmaíocht agus straitéis don teanga a fhorbairt agus tacaíocht a thabhairt do na ranganna Gaeilge do...

Ranganna Gaeilge. (16 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: An aontaíonn an tAire go bhfuil gá le cur chuige agus straitéis chuimsitheach le freastal ar na daoine atá ag obair go tréan agus go deonach ag cur ranganna Gaeilge ar fáil do dhaoine fásta? Níl aon chúrsa traenála oiliúna ann do dhaoine i mbun na ranganna sin. An nglacfaidh an tAire nach leor suíomh Idirlín, is cuma cé chomh snasta agus atá, chun an jab sin a dhéanamh agus...

Ranganna Gaeilge. (16 May 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Chuir mé ceist faoin traenáil atá de dhíth le ranganna do dhaoine fásta a chur ar fáil. Luaigh an tAire maoiniú agus tá an cheist sin ann. An iarrfaidh sé ar Fhoras na Gaeilge plean a chur ar fáil leis an traenáil sin a chur ar bun? Tá muid ag caint faoi rud éigin níos fearr na suíomh Idirlín. Tá sé seo ag titim amach i dtíortha eile ach níl a leithéid ag tarlú anseo.
