Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (14 Jun 2006)

Order of Business. (15 Jun 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Your contribution, a Cheann Comhairle, in which you asked what legislation this is related to makes the point very well. This House has been excluded from the process of negotiating the partnership agreement. If there is a debate on this matter, will we also be allowed to vote on it? Could an Oireachtas committee have a role in engaging with the partnership process so there is democratic...

Trevor Sargent: I would like to ask the Taoiseach about his meetings with the Finucane family, the British Government and the US authorities.

What support has the Taoiseach sought from the US...

Northern Ireland Issues. (20 Jun 2006)
