Order of Business. (29 Sep 2005)

John Gormley: Why has the alcohol products Bill been scrapped? If the voluntary code about which the Taoiseach spoke yesterday does not work, and I suspect it will not work, will it be re-introduced? As I said yesterday, it is the biggest problem we face in terms of a drugs problem.

[26051/05]

Overseas Missions. (29 Sep 2005)

John Gormley: I thank the Minister for his reply. He said recently during a visit to Haulbowline that he intends to bring the report to Cabinet at the end of September.

Overseas Missions. (29 Sep 2005)

John Gormley: The Minister said that his impression is it can be done by way of legislative change. He said that there will be certain elements in the Dáil that will fight that legislative change tooth and nail. I wonder who these certain elements are and why would we want to change it if there is no real change?

Overseas Missions. (29 Sep 2005)

John Gormley: Assuming the Minister obtains the report next week, when will the legislation be introduced, given that this involves a relatively small change? Does he agree that all these small changes are chipping away at the last vestiges of neutrality?

Peacekeeping Missions. (29 Sep 2005)

John Gormley: Is it not the case that when General Meyers visited here the Minister went off sick but visited a barracks? The indication was that he had been instructed because of a possible embarrassment and unfavourable optics to go missing.

Peacekeeping Missions. (29 Sep 2005)

John Gormley: Will the Minister confirm that all the other neutral states do not allow American troops to land on their soil to participate in the war in Iraq? Are we not being complicit by allowing them to do so? That is the case. Will the Minister also correct the record to say that this arrangement has not been in place for 50 years? A case was brought to the High Court and the judge found this...

Peacekeeping Missions. (29 Sep 2005)
