Order of Business (5 Oct 2010)

Pat Rabbitte: The mind boggles. One of the matters raised by Deputy Durkan related to the Spent Convictions Bill. It is a minor item of legislation that began life as a Private Members' Bill. It is important to many people and I ask the Taoiseach to use his influence to expedite its conclusion. On the statement read out by the Taoiseach about AIB, I notice he is sending in PricewaterhouseCoopers to...

Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill 2010: Second Stage (6 Oct 2010)

Pat Rabbitte: For longer than a decade the need a landmark statute to govern migration into the State has been generally acknowledged. Few people disagreed with a Minister for State in a previous Fianna Fáil-Progressive Democrats Government, Liz O'Donnell, when she described her own Government's policy on asylum as a shambles, yet all these years later we still have not managed to put a rational,...

Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill 2010: Second Stage (6 Oct 2010)

Pat Rabbitte: All right. The truth, of course, is that the Minister's own reconstruction of the Bill is the principal cause of delay.

I do not object to the delay if it means producing a better and fairer Bill, although that does not...

Crime Prevention (7 Oct 2010)

Pat Rabbitte: I join with the Minister in deploring what happened on Monday night. Do I take it from what he has said that the dissident groups have the capacity not just to create destruction and mayhem, but to injure and take human life? We know from experience that is only a matter of time before human life will be put at risk, whatever their intention. One reads reports about training bases and camps...
