- Departmental Expenditure. (6 Feb 2008)
Eamon Gilmore: I understand from that reply that the Taoiseach believes Departments should not duplicate the information they receive from his Department. The response to the questions tabled to Departments on this showed that they spent â¬674,000 last year in media monitoring, apparently contracted out to different media monitoring bodies.
- Departmental Expenditure. (6 Feb 2008)
Eamon Gilmore: According to this information, the Department of Health and Children, the Taoiseach's Department and the Department of Foreign Affairs are spending â¬125,000, â¬129,000 and â¬53,000, respectively, on media monitoring. It seems a bit wasteful that Departments are going elsewhere if the Taoiseach's Department's media monitoring unit is providing the service. There is a new item in the 2008...
- Departmental Expenditure. (6 Feb 2008)
Eamon Gilmore: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. With regard to the commemorations, I would like him to look at the possibility of providing funding for commemoration of the sinking of the RMS Leinster, which was the biggest sea tragedy we have experienced and which was sunk by a German U-boat while carrying many of the soldiers who were going back to fight at the front in the First World War. It was...

Eamon Gilmore: I welcome the fact that the Taoiseach is to address the Joint Houses of the US Congress in April or May. It is a great honour for him and indeed, for the country, and I wish him well. In his various contacts, as regards both his address to Congress and his St. Patrick's Day visit, how does the Taoiseach intend to further explore possibilities for resolving the problems faced by the...
- Order of Business (6 Feb 2008)
Eamon Gilmore: I also want to put down a marker in this regard. The proposal before us today is the third change in the ministerial rota for parliamentary questions since we came back last week. This used to be a very rare occasion and it was something the Opposition parties and spokespersons were quite happy to accommodate. If a Minister is away on important official business on behalf of the country,...

Eamon Gilmore: I wish him well in that endeavour. I also wish to identify with the event commemorating the Munich air disaster that the Taoiseach intends to attend. However, given the extent to which Manchester has been an occasion of temptation for the Taoiseach in the past, and given the day that is in it, may I suggest a few Lenten pledges that he might take? He should stay away from the Four Seasons...
