- Death of Former Taoiseach: Expressions of Sympathy. (13 Jun 2006)
Trevor Sargent: Anybody who met Charles Haughey knew that he had an ability to get straight to where he felt their feelings and aspirations lay. He earned respect by using considerable charm, as has been referred to by Deputy Kenny, in confronting the Iron Lady, the British Prime Minister at the time, Margaret Thatcher. At a time when Ireland needed strong nationalist leadership, he provided an important...

- Commemorative Events. (14 Jun 2006)
Trevor Sargent: TacaÃm leis an éileamh go mbeadh lá cuimhneacháin ann don Ghorta Mór. In considering the context, will the Taoiseach take on board the need for a commemoration of that sort so the lessons can be learned, not just about world hunger and the distribution of resources but also about the Irish diaspora which resulted from the Famine? We must be careful to avoid over-reliance on any one food...

- Commemorative Events. (14 Jun 2006)
Trevor Sargent: I want to ask the Taoiseach if 26 June is on his mind as a commemoration date for victims of torture. One answer would be to mark the occasion by checking the planes. Will the death earlier this year of John de Courcey Ireland merit any response from the Government by way of a commemoration? His legacy was unique not just for Ireland but also for many other countries, including France, Spain,...

- Constitutional Referenda. (14 Jun 2006)
Trevor Sargent: I am surprised to hear the Taoiseach say there will be no referendum given that the Minister for Foreign Affairs has made a case for one. The Children's Rights Alliance says we need a referendum on enshrining the rights of children in the Constitution. It appeared before the United Nations with a report, From Rhetoric To Rights. While there may not be a referendum in the lifetime of this...

- Order of Business. (14 Jun 2006)
Trevor Sargent: I know from yesterday that the register of persons considered unsafe to work with children is effectively going nowhere under this Government. There is no date for publication of legislation and nothing will happen unless the Northern Ireland Executive is functioning.
