Rent Supplement: Motion (Resumed). (15 Feb 2006)

Tony Gregory: I will share time with Deputies Finian McGrath, Catherine Murphy, Healy, Connolly, Boyle and Morgan.

Northern Ireland Issues. (22 Feb 2006)

Tony Gregory: Does the Minister accept the new British legislation, the Inquiries Act, restricts the control of inquiry judges, allows for the deletion of details of findings made by the inquiry and transfers control of the inquiry from the judges to a Government Minster? The inquiry on offer is a British Government controlled inquiry into collusion by the British Government security services. As such, the...

Northern Ireland Issues. (22 Feb 2006)

Tony Gregory: The Minister has raised this in the past, the Taoiseach has raised it and still the British Government refuses to co-operate. What does the Minister think of this refusal to co-operate on the Finucane inquiry and on the Dublin and Monaghan bombings inquiry? Is it a sign of good faith between the two Governments? It seems to be far from it. Will the Minister continue to go, cap in hand, to Mr....

Public Order Offences: Statements. (28 Feb 2006)

Tony Gregory: There is a temptation to offer expert opinion regarding what should have been done last Saturday. That is always very easy in hindsight. However, I will resist that temptation other than to state as a local representative, O'Connell Street being in the very centre of my constituency, that it is now self-evident that the most obvious error of judgment must have been the decision to allow it to...

Public Order Offences: Statements. (28 Feb 2006)

Tony Gregory: I am glad to see that the motion before us reaffirms the right to peaceful protest and demonstration. I hope it means what it says. As an elected representative for the O'Connell Street area, I refer to allegations that local people were heavily involved on Saturday. Of those charged whose addresses were listed, not one was from the constituency. If that changes when others are arrested, so...
