Task Force on Active Citizenship. (14 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I am trying to decipher the Taoiseach's reply. What does he mean by the phrase "recommendations that we can take forward"? As Deputy Rabbitte pointed out, since 2000 a number of attempts have been made to increase the level of volunteerism and active citizenship. They include the White Paper on Supporting Voluntary Activity published in 2000 and the Tipping the Balance report published in...

Task Force on Active Citizenship. (14 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I have a brief question based on what the Taoiseach said.

Task Force on Active Citizenship. (14 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Does the Taoiseach appreciate how frustrating it would be for someone involved in a voluntary group to hear him say that the sector is well staffed? The Remember Us group in my area is an organisation comprising 70 families with children with intellectual disabilities. It has depended entirely on voluntarism since 1998. For the sake of one administrator, those volunteers have been burning...

Task Force on Active Citizenship. (14 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Those volunteer trainers are gone. Does the Taoiseach not realise that there is a need for the staffing to which he refers to be targeted in a way that protects the bedrock of remaining volunteers? They should be supported in a tangible way. Is there any way that those organisations can appeal to what he called a well staffed sector so that staffing can be more targeted? These staff would...

Task Force on Active Citizenship. (14 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I agree with the Ceann Comhairle. I would not have raised this had the Taoiseach not said that the sector was well staffed. I felt I had to respond to that.

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31 (14 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to deal with a matter of urgent national and international importance, the shipment of plutonium through the Irish Sea on the British Nuclear Group ship, Atlantic Osprey, the danger that this shipment could be targeted by those with malicious intent and the unsuitability of the ship in question for carrying such highly radioactive...

Order of Business (14 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: In light of the Ceann Comhairle's decision to refuse my request for the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31, with promised legislation in mind, will it be possible for the Government to give any time to ensure the issue of the Atlantic Osprey shipment is immediately debated?

Order of Business (14 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I will tell the Ceann Comhairle. As taxpayers' money was spent on the case, the Government should have known about it, but apparently did not.

Order of Business (14 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: There is no armed escort. The UK Government says al-Qaeda is seeking nuclear material.

Order of Business (14 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Certainly not, but this issue is urgent. The Ceann Comhairle said I could deal with it by parliamentary question next Wednesday. As this ship will be docked in Cherbourg next Tuesday, the Chair is making a mockery of parliamentary procedure.

Order of Business (14 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I could have, and that would not have been regarded as urgent in the eyes of those who see this matter as a threat to the health of this nation. The promised legislation that should at least refer to this is the British-Irish Agreement (Amendment) Bill. That will not be dealt with by next Tuesday. Will the Government promise a debate before then?
