Constitutional Amendments. (11 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: I welcome the incremental clarity the Taoiseach has brought to the question of the date of the referendum. We are talking about the second week of June. The Taoiseach will consult Deputy Kenny and me about the day on which the referendum will take place that week. It is like being told one can have any colour as long as it is black. However, we will engage in that consultation.

Constitutional Amendments. (11 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: We will get there. The Taoiseach will eventually announce the date. On the provision of information, while I accept what the Taoiseach has said, that there is much documentation and printed material, there is not enough information in simple language available to the public. That will be necessary for people to make up their minds based on what is contained in the treaty. It is desirable...

Leaders' Questions (11 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: In his reply to Deputy Kenny, the Taoiseach stated that the Minister of Health and Children believes the women of Portlaoise are at the centre of this issue. She has a rather unusual way of showing that. Yesterday she circulated a motion to be debated in the House tomorrow which welcomes the report and praises her. However, it makes no mention of the women in Portlaoise, whether the nine...

Eamon Gilmore: That is not a good enough answer after 11 years. What I understand the Taoiseach to conclude from the Portlaoise reports is that the problem was in Portlaoise and concerned the fact people there were not talking to each other, while the valiant efforts he and his Ministers were making to reform the health service were all resisted by people in this House and elsewhere. There is no mention,...

Capitation Grants: Motion (11 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: This motion is about the value of education. At its most fundamental level, education is about unlocking the potential in every child, but it is also about harnessing the creative potential of society as a whole. Universal education underpins our democracy and is the process through which we learn about the world and how we can contribute to it. Universal education delivers what the market...

Capitation Grants: Motion (11 Mar 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: She was joined by the Green Party, which warned voters of Fianna Fáil's "broken promises" on education and promised in its turn to deliver an extra €1 billion in funding. Why would the Minister and her coalition partners have made such promises if they did not believe the schools needed the money? Now, from the safety once more of Government, these promises have become a commitment to...
