Chief State Solicitor's Office. (10 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: The Taoiseach mentioned rejection of the offer. Was that based on monetary considerations alone or has there been an evaluation of the effects of the transfer of the Chief State Solicitor's office from the Attorney General to the DPP? Was that done independently, particularly with regard to the general efficiency of the proposal and the effects on individual cases? Has the Taoiseach any...

Regulatory Reform. (10 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: That is all right. I am interested in the Taoiseach's stated commitment to improving the mechanisms whereby decisions made by regulators can be appealed. I understand that the process of consultation on that matter is under way. Has any progress been made in that regard? Can the Taoiseach report on that process? Will any poverty impact assessments be undertaken of the enormous and harsh...

Regulatory Reform. (10 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Perhaps the Taoiseach has some news for the House in that regard. Is there to be a review of the lifting of the groceries order, given that it has not led to the price reductions which were expected?

Leaders' Questions (10 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I do not care who had the water and who had the wine but I want to ask about another anniversary this year. We had the 90th anniversary of the Easter Rising, where the Taoiseach took the salute in O'Connell Street, a very happy day for him. It was also the 90th anniversary of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1916. The Taoiseach mentioned earlier that he is doing away with much of the...

Leaders' Questions (10 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: The Taoiseach might need to clarify that because he says it is as far as he knows. I appreciate he may not have all the facts at his fingertips on that matter, I am simply putting the legal situation to him. This is not just about the Taoiseach, the Prevention of Corruption Act is much bigger than any activity the Taoiseach was ever involved in, it goes back much longer and will be there...

Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy. (10 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: On my own behalf and on behalf of the Green Party, Comhaontas Glas, I pay respect to the venerable memory of Mr. Tom Fitzpatrick. Tom Fitzpatrick will be remembered as a great Clones man, a great family man, a great legal man, a great statesman and a great Irishman. Ní raibh aithne rómhaith agam air, cé go raibh clú agus cáil air i gcónaí mar iar-Cheann Comhairle, chomh maith le...

Order of Business (10 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: It is not agreed. For such an important issue, the Green Party has been allocated five minutes to make a contribution on a Green Paper which will have an impact, good or bad or most likely indifferent, as it does not rise to the challenges we face. It is completely unrealistic to try to pass it off with a five minute contribution and does not take into account the seriousness of the issue....

Order of Business (10 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I join the other party leaders in wishing the Taoiseach and the rest of the Irish Government's delegation well in Scotland. Given that the Ombudsman for Children is about to speak and take questions at a meeting of the Joint Committee on Child Protection, I would like to know whether progress can be made with the legislation putting in place a register of persons who are considered to be...
