Data Protection. (6 Oct 2009)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: On the questions before us, does the Department of the Taoiseach have a co-ordinating role on data protection procedures across all Departments?

Data Protection. (6 Oct 2009)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: As social partnership is an area under the direct responsibility of the Taoiseach's Department I would have thought he would have an oversight on not only the proposal but the agreement within Towards 2016.

Cabinet Committees. (6 Oct 2009)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The "Yes" side in the recent Lisbon treaty referendum told us we had a choice between ruin and recovery.

We must all be regretful of that. To help restore public confidence in politics, will the Taoiseach commit to a totally new...
