Eamon Gilmore: Everyone shares the view that the outcome at Copenhagen was deeply disappointing. I would like to pursue the Taoiseach a little further on the action being taken by the Government to tackle climate change. The revised programme for Government contained a number of commitments in this regard. First, there was a commitment that the Government would introduce a climate change Bill to give a...

Eamon Gilmore: I accept the Taoiseach's answer in respect of two of the four matters I raised. I will pursue the ratification of the Aarhus Convention with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. If the Taoiseach can tell me which Minister is responsible for the producing the national climate change adaptation strategy, I will be happy to pursue the matter with him or her. I do not accept that the Taoiseach is...

Eamon Gilmore: If I asked him about the climate change Bill on the Order of Business, I would be entitled to get an answer. I am simply asking when the promised climate change Bill will be produced by the Government. I would expect him to know what stage of preparation the legislation is at. I would also expect him to know what is happening with climate change impact assessments. We were told such...

- Order of Business (24 Mar 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: I understand why this industrial action is taking place; it is a result of anger among low-paid public servants in particular that the Government unilaterally cut pay and threw their trade unions out of Government Buildings last December. When issues of pay and people's employment conditions and contracts are approached in such a way, there is a consequence. I have called for a suspension of...

Eamon Gilmore: Yes, this is the Order of Business and I am seeking to discover whether the Taoiseach - in the absence of further unnecessary rancour - will agree to have this matter referred to an Oireachtas committee in order that it might be dealt with. If this does not happen, those of us who are members of Opposition parties will be obliged to take the appropriate steps in order to exercise our...

Eamon Gilmore: Given that the Taoiseach has no objection to the Lost at Sea report being referred to an Oireachtas committee, will he accept the motion on the Order Paper in that regard which is tabled in the name of Deputy Sherlock? The issue now at stake here is as much about the Office of the Ombudsman as it is about the report. The dissatisfaction with the way the report was dealt with was expressed...

Eamon Gilmore: I hear what the Taoiseach is saying, that he will not stand in the way of it being referred to committee, in which case the Labour Party will move Deputy Seán Sherlock's motion as soon as possible. Will the Taoiseach provide Government time for it? I am still confused about the Departments.
