Order of Business (18 Feb 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Yes. I was going to remind the Tánaiste that it was one of the places where she lost jobs in the course of the past year. They were also lost in Waterford and Limerick. I want to ask the Tánaiste directly whether she will now lose the 300 potential jobs for Dublin Airport?

With regard to the motion of confidence in the Minister for Defence, Deputy O'Dea, tabled yesterday by the Taoiseach and passed by the House, on the...

Eamon Gilmore: I am trying to clarify the status of the motion passed in the House yesterday in light of Deputy Gogarty's comments on radio this morning and the departure by the chairman of the Green Party from the position taken by his party on the motion.

Eamon Gilmore: I do not accept the response and I think this is part of our problem. The Tánaiste seems to think she has said all that has to be said about the jobs at the airport. I am afraid she has not.

Order of Business (18 Feb 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Sorry, a Ceann Comhairle, my question to the Tánaiste is whether those jobs will be provided. All we have heard over the past several days were the details of the Tánaiste's exchanges with Mr. O'Leary and Ryanair. Whether Ryanair provides the jobs is a question-----

Eamon Gilmore: If the Ceann Comhairle went to Dublin Airport, Swords or north Dublin and told one of those 300 people or anyone else who is looking for jobs that the Order of Business cannot be used for this purpose, I know where they would tell him to go. I am asking the Tánaiste-----

Order of Business (18 Feb 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: The Tánaiste, in reply to my question, stated that she had said all that was going to be said on this. I am challenging that on the basis that if these jobs are not to be provided one way, they should be provided a different way.
