National Archives. (4 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: Was that an issue the Taoiseach discussed with Prime Minister Brown when he met with him recently or have there been any discussions at governmental level about the possibility of such a visit and how the arrangements might be made for it? On the National Archives, the Taoiseach told us that 12 files have been withheld this year for various reasons. I appreciate he obviously cannot identify...

National Archives. (4 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: With regard to files being withheld because they identify the names of people, resulting in distress for the people concerned, I understand from the Taoiseach that much of the withheld information has to do with the withholding of names of people who were supplying information. Over the past decade, has the number of files or documents withheld for that reason been on the increase compared...

National Archives. (4 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: I have a final supplementary question in respect of 8(4)(c), which relates to the withholding of documents where they would or might cause distress or danger to living persons on the grounds that they contain information about individuals or would or be likely to lead to an action for damages for defamation. If files are withheld for political reasons under that clause, what are the criteria...

Legislative Programme. (4 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: I agree with Deputy Kenny that a very small amount of legislation is emerging from this Government in its post-general election manifestation. Among the Bills we know will be published is the referendum Bill to deal with the EU treaty. When are we likely to see this Bill? Has the Government set a date for the referendum? Can we now take it there will not be a Bill in 2008 dealing with a...

Leaders' Questions (4 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach does not understand this problem at all. The distinction he is making between urgent and non-urgent is missing the point. I listened to Dr. Martin Daly speaking on radio the other morning where he made the distinction between urgent and non-urgent. Urgent is where a general practitioner concludes that somebody is already sick and must be seen immediately. Non-urgent is where...

Leaders' Questions (4 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: Can the Taoiseach answer the question? Has he found anywhere where one will wait 18 months or more for a cancer test?

Leaders' Questions (4 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach makes it sound as though the consultants are out there organising queues, one line for urgent cases and another line for non-urgent cases. The reason cases are designated as urgent is because there is an 18-month queue and consultants must do something with people they have concluded are ill. If the Taoiseach or I went to the doctor and he recommended we get a colonoscopy, we...

Leaders' Questions (4 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: It is about not telling the public how many patients were involved regarding the consultant in Cork. How many patients were involved? What were they trying to cover up when they said they did not want to go into detail with regard to the number of patients involved? Will the Taoiseach tell us the number of patients involved?

Order of Business. (4 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: When the Taoiseach replied to Deputy Kenny, I presume he intended to include the leader of the Labour Party in the loop as far as consultations on the date of the referendum were concerned.

Order of Business. (4 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: I know the Taoiseach is very much aware of the appalling killing of two young Polish men last week. I have previously raised the issue of the level of violence and the level related to alcohol or its availability. A review of off-licences was promised by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. When is it likely to be completed? It appears that there is considerable growth in...

Order of Business. (4 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: I was somewhat surprised at the Taoiseach's response to Deputy Tuffy's question about the amendment to the foreshore legislation. Just prior to the general election, the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government sent a letter, a copy of which I have, to the effect that if his party were in Government no further permits would be given for offshore wind farms pending the...
