Whatever justification there might have been two years ago — that the Government was up all night and had to bring the matter before the House in a rush and put the gun to our heads to...

Eamon Gilmore: I noted the Taoiseach's reply to Deputy Kenny's question on the budget date. Deputy Kenny asked if the Taoiseach would confirm that the budget date is still 7 December. The Taoiseach, in his reply, said something to the effect that the budget date that has been mentioned is 7 December.

Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: No, there will not be ample time - that is the whole problem. The proposal from the Government is that the statements on the statement made officially by the Minister for Finance this morning on the full cost of the banking bailout should conclude at 3.30 p.m. today. This means that, in effect, the Government is proposing that the Dáil be given between two hours and 2.5 hours to discuss...

Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Most people in the country are in a state of shock at what we heard on Thursday about the eventual cost of bailing out the banks - coming in at €50 billion - and all of the implications of that for public finances, taxation, State borrowing and the cost of borrowing.

Did the two banks not tell the...
