- Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (4 Jul 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: Question 1: To ask the Taoiseach if he has received a further interim report from the MacEntee Commission into the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings; if it is intended to publish this report; if a request for a further extension of the deadline for completion of its work has now been received from the commission; if it is intended to grant the request; and if he will make a statement on the...
- Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (4 Jul 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: We all agree with what the Taoiseach has said about Mr. MacEntee being given adequate time to make whatever investigations he thinks might be fruitful. I wish, however, to ask the Taoiseach a couple of questions. As he said, the commission of investigation arises from the unresolved matters on the Barron inquiry. I am reminded of a parliamentary question on 28 March to the Taoiseach and his...
- Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (4 Jul 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: I do not want to unnecessarily probe a delicate area, but can the Taoiseach say any more about structural changes? It strikes me as a slightly unusual practice to accept a report from Mr. Justice Barron and for Department officials to recommend changes as to structure. Were there other changes or was factual matter questioned in that regard? I presume my tabling of the question and the...
- Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (4 Jul 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: I asked in particular whether the report was likely to come into the public domain before the House formally rises.

- Office of the Attorney General. (4 Jul 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: Question 7: To ask the Taoiseach if the recommendation contained in the 1994 report of the review group on the Office of the Attorney General that important and sensitive issues be brought to the attention of the Attorney General remains in operation; if so, the reason a case (details supplied) was not brought to the attention of the Attorney General; and if he will make a statement on the...
- Office of the Attorney General. (4 Jul 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: Does the Taoiseach accept it is difficult for anybody outside Government to understand why, if the 1995 reforms had been implemented and policed, there should have been what he calls a "communications failure" in the CC case? I am sure he will accept there is scarcely anything more serious than the protection of our children yet, despite the commitment that cases affecting minors would be...
- Office of the Attorney General. (4 Jul 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: Is the Taoiseach stating that somebody could be free to walk as a result of the charges being withdrawn and new charges not being capable of being preferred and that we would not know about it?

Pat Rabbitte: They should be, they are rust proof.
- Leaders' Questions. (4 Jul 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: This is a shocking Government debacle and a shocking waste of taxpayers' money. The first thing that strikes me as odd is that the commission's terms of reference require it to present its report to the Taoiseach. I am surprised to learn that the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, was given the report at the weekend. The Taoiseach stated the Government has only read...
- Leaders' Questions. (4 Jul 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: I refer the Taoiseach to page 107 of the report which among other things, points out that in a tied vote, the system eliminates the wrong candidate. It also states: It was noted that, in addition to selecting the incorrect candidate for elimination, the software makes a further error by reporting incorrectly through its user interface that a different candidate has been selected.
- Leaders' Questions. (4 Jul 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: It further stated that the software is not of sufficient quality to enable its use to be confidently recommended and that functional testing has revealed programming errors. It states there are significant and important vulnerabilities: Firstly, it was found, when reading in votes at a count centre from a CD received from a service centre, that it is possible to read in the votes from an...
