- Proposed Legislation. (9 Oct 2007)
Pat Rabbitte: This issue was being raised in the House, on behalf of thousands of predominantly young people, for two years in advance of the recent general election. Such people are experiencing problems with property companies and their agents which they could not have envisaged. Many of them are contractually wedded to such companies, often without having known in advance that they would be. These...

- Proposed Legislation. (9 Oct 2007)
Pat Rabbitte: I take it from the Minister's comments that because of the operation of the PULSE system and the capacity of modern technology, it is all the more probable these days that a person would find himself or herself in a situation where, for example, an application for a job is the subject of an adverse report from his or her youth on a relatively minor matter. It is all the more imperative for...
- Drugs in Prisons. (9 Oct 2007)
Pat Rabbitte: I know the Minister is interested in history. I refer him back to the last programme for Government, for which I presume he also takes responsibility.

This will include the availability of treatment and rehabilitation for all who need them and the introduction of...
