Waste Management: Motion (Resumed). (21 Jun 2006)

Trevor Sargent: The interesting point is that the Minister, Deputy McDowell, now has a difficult decision to make because he knows from a statement made by the Minister, Deputy Roche, on a radio programme this morning that the Poolbeg incinerator plan is Government policy. I wonder if the Minister is elsewhere at the moment considering his resignation, as that would be the only logical thing for him to do....

Interdepartmental Committees. (27 Jun 2006)

Trevor Sargent: There is no call for that from the Minister, Deputy Lenihan.

Interdepartmental Committees. (27 Jun 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Given the high level of infrastructural deficit areas not referred to by the Taoiseach, why did no meeting take place in June? For example, in terms of waste management, three quarters of recyclables go abroad and there is a lack of producer responsibility. Does it occur to the Taoiseach, in speaking of the issues on the agenda, that we will need probably a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions over...

Order of Business. (27 Jun 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I will not take up the time between today and next Thursday. I simply wish to find out about the current status of what I believe is to be called the citizens information Bill.

Order of Business. (27 Jun 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I understand that the Minister wishes to see the citizens information Bill passed before Thursday week. Can the Taoiseach tell us whether that is his plan or that of the Government or the Chief Whip?
