Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32 (26 Jun 2007)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Government to immediately halt the plan to co-locate private for-profit hospitals on the grounds of public hospitals as this plan will reinforce the two-tier public-private health system which discriminates against public patients and subsidises the private health...

Order of Business (26 Jun 2007)

Order of Business (26 Jun 2007)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Despite the cackle earlier when I made the point about Leaders' Questions and the Taoiseach hoovering up all the prospects of forming a Technical Group — well done — let us hope there will be enough common sense and fair play prevailing to see that Standing Order being revisited.

Order of Business (26 Jun 2007)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I concur with the previous speakers. The proposal is to guillotine Second Stage of the Finance (No. 2) Bill at 7 p.m. but when is the debate to commence?

This is fundamentally wrong as we have the right to participate and...

Order of Business (26 Jun 2007)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I note that the Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill, introduced so cynically by the previous Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform in the dying days of the last Dáil, does not appear on the restoration motion.

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Deputy Kenny made a keen observation on the importance of having all-party consultation on the appointment of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I hope that is what he meant and that he was not just referring to the two main Opposition parties. It is important that all parties and Opposition voices have the right to be consulted on such an important appointment given that we are all answerable to...

Election of Leas-Cheann Comhairle (Resumed) (26 Jun 2007)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: It is important to affirm that there should be no smear or question attached to his nomination in seeking the role of Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Accordingly, the Sinn Féin Deputies will support Deputy Howlin's nomination to the position in line with the nomination originally presented. However, I ask that the points Deputy Kenny made on the future conduct of the selection process be taken on...
