Polasaí don Ghaeilge. (17 Jun 2009)

Brian O'Shea: Ba mhaith liom an ábhar imní a luaigh an coimisinéar ina thuarascáil a chur os comhair an Aire, is é sin nach raibh an dul chun cinn gur cóir á dhéanamh leis na scéimeanna le trí bliana anuas, nó nach bhfuil na scéimeanna nua curtha i bhfeidhm. An bhfuil fáth le sin? An bhfuil na comhlachtaí éagsúla ag éirí tuirseach den Acht nó an bhfuil an locht ar an Roinn mar nach...

Polasaí don Ghaeilge. (17 Jun 2009)

Brian O'Shea: Maidir le comhlachtaí atá ag teacht ar ais chuig an Aire anois go bhfuil trí bliana imithe ó cuireadh an scéim in áit, an bhfuil comhlacht ar bith ag iarraidh nach mbeadh na coinníollacha chomh daingean agus a bhí siad? An gceapann aon chomhlacht go bhfuil na coinníollacha ró-dhian air, go bhfuil costas ró-mhór air nó nach bhfuil aon tairfe le baint as na haistriúcháin ag na...

Funding to Support Homeless People (17 Jun 2009)

Brian O'Shea: Part of my question has been answered by the Minister. Is the Minister saying that, essentially, this will entail the slimming down and death of MFG, even if it lasts in some form until 2013? Will he eliminate MFG over time if he gets time to do it, which I doubt very much? I am aware that partnerships as such is a separate issue to some extent, but will there not be substantial losses of...

Brian O'Shea: Question 28: To ask the Minister for Defence if concerns have been expressed to him from inside or outside his Department in regard to the alleged underperformance of the Irish Red Cross both in Ireland and overseas; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25004/09]

Irish Red Cross Society. (23 Jun 2009)

Brian O'Shea: I thank the Minister for his reply. He will recall that when I raised this with him previously the issues that had been described to me included an appalling industrial relations record, high turnover of staff and a history of general secretaries being dismissed. I understand the last general secretary was dismissed in 2007 during the course of a dispute and that she was the fifth or sixth...

Irish Red Cross Society. (23 Jun 2009)

Brian O'Shea: I understand that an officer of the Department is a member of the council of the society. Have all the reports from this person been positive or does the Minister receive reports from that person with regard to the conduct of affairs in the Irish Red Cross Society?

Defence Forces Recruitment. (23 Jun 2009)

Brian O'Shea: I share some of the concerns expressed by Deputy Deenihan with regard to the strength of the officer corps if this situation is to continue for any length of time. There is also the other factor, namely, officers taking early retirement or moving onwards. Is this situation under review at present? Can the Minister give any indication of how many officers intend to retire from the Defence...

Defence Forces Recruitment. (23 Jun 2009)

Brian O'Shea: Has anything been done this year to invite recruits to the cadet school? If the Minister makes progress on this front with the Minister for Finance, how will they be enrolled and from where will they come? There is a problem in that people who would want careers in the Defence Forces might apply in other fields and seek to pursue other careers due to the moratorium. Should a decision not...

Brian O'Shea: Question 51: To ask the Minister for Defence the number of personnel expected to be recruited up to the end of 2009 in regard to his recent statement announcing the resumption of limited and monitored recruitment to replace existing members of the Army Reserve or Naval Service Reserve; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24684/09]

Defence Forces Reserve. (23 Jun 2009)

Brian O'Shea: I appreciate that. We should compliment the Minister on overturning the moratorium in respect of the RDF. Obviously, he does not have exact figures, but could he give the Dáil a ballpark estimate of the number of RDF places that might become available for recruitment in the course of the year? I understand that quite a number of people were well down the road of the recruitment process,...
