- Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: I wish to ask the Taoiseach specifically why the Department of Finance and the Minister for Finance have been excluded from the remit of this so-called inquiry. Why, for example, does it say that this inquiry will investigate banking up to September 2008? What does up to September 2008 mean? Does it mean 31 August? If it does, does that not exclude the very month in which the Government...

- Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: The purpose of it was to give an Oireachtas committee the power to deal with that. The Taoiseach has not told us, first, why the Department of Finance and the Minister for Finance have been excluded from the remit of what is being proposed.
- Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: He has not explained why this inquiry is to be conducted in private. The last time he made an attempt to say he was not too keen on the idea of an inquiry, before Christmas, he told us that he did not want the time of officials and of people in the banking sector to be taken up with having to deal with an inquiry in these times.
- Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: Their time is going to be taken up dealing with these various three stages now rather than having them conducted in public. The Taoiseach has given us no explanation as to why this should be done in private rather than in public. He has cited the precedent of the commissions of investigation leading to the Ryan report and the Murphy report. Those were appropriate commissions of...
- Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach has not explained why it is to be conducted in private and why the Department of Finance is excluded. Neither has he addressed the issue as to whether September 2008 is in or not in the terms of this proposal he has put before us, and, if it is in, why is the period after September 2008 excluded from it?

Eamon Gilmore: Everyone in the House and the general public are horrified by the scenes of Haiti on our television screens and in newspapers. Will time be provided this week for a report from the Minister? I saw the Minister of State, Deputy Peter Power, at yesterday's European meeting in connection with this matter, but some time should be provided this week for a statement from the Minister for Foreign...
- Order of Business (19 Jan 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: I was somewhat surprised not to see the Bill in the Government's list of legislation to be published this session. It is still in section C of the legislative list, namely, a Bill for which the Government has not yet approved heads. Are there heads for the Bill? Does anyone know what the directly elected mayor of Dublin will do, what type of office it will be and what types of power it...
