- Crime Levels (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: The Minister did it for me. I did not want to repeat it.
- Crime Levels (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: It is not about gangland killings although we can have that debate if the Minister wishes to have it. There is casual resort by young people in the community to the use of knives. I already spoke to the Minister about a situation in an area of my constituency during the week when the residents were up in arms about the absence of policing and the difficulties people have, feeling they have...
- Crime Levels (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Why does the Minister say that the WHO drawing its information from medical records could be inaccurate?
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: I calculate that approximately a quarter of those persons served with a deportation orders are deported. Would the Minister again give the figures for the persons who leave voluntarily? I do not know what means of validation exist for the numbers that leave voluntarily. At what point does the serving of a deportation order that is never implemented discredit the system? Has the time not...
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: I believe the Minister said there were 529 voluntary departures in 2008, 539 in 2009 and 286 in 2010. Is that correct?
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: I find that puzzling. If one adds 529 to 161, it comes to virtually all 757 of the deportation orders implemented. The remarkable thing about 2010 is that if one adds 286 to 126 one gets 412 and there were only 353 deportation orders.
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Is the Minister is misleading me and the House?
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: I asked the Minister how many deportation orders there were and he told me. Then he said that was not taking the voluntary departures into account. When I add the voluntary departures to the departures implemented I get a figure that is more than the number of deportation orders in the first place.
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: That is not acceptable in this House. I do not know whether the Minister or whoever wrote the reply for him cannot count, but that is really bad form.
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: The Minister must accept it. How much is two and two?
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: On this point, that is not what the Minister said. For example, I have his previous answer before me. It says, "Overall, the level of evasion, the lodgement of judicial challenges and the likely voluntary departure from the State of persons served with a deportation order...". It is not a question of people additional and separate from those served with a deportation order. I regard it as...
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: That is an excellent question.
- Prison Building Programme (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: The figures are rattling the Minister.

Pat Rabbitte: A touch of dyslexia.

Pat Rabbitte: Can the Minister assure the House that the construction of the watered-down project at Thornton Hall has survived the bilateral process-----
- Prison Building Programme (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: I am asking whether the watered-down project at Thornton Hall - the Minister will agree that the new arrangement of building 400 cells for 700 prisoners was not the original project - has survived the bilateral process. Have the moneys been provided and are they assured for this project? Has any consideration been given in the Minister's Department to the abandonment of this project and...
- Prison Building Programme (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Is it accurate to summarise the Minister's reply by saying he does not have the money earmarked for this project as yet and that he is still in the Estimates process? Returning to the question I asked, the Minister will recall before the collapse of the PPP, when I asked if he was sure the developer, the preferred bidder, was able to deliver, he got up on his high horse and told me he would...
- Prison Building Programme (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: He did not know anything about it and, of course, it collapsed shortly thereafter.
- Prison Building Programme (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Is there a danger that this will collapse? Is there a danger we will be left with a road into a field, around which a fin wall will have been built? What does the Minister propose to do with the Mountjoy Prison site which he acquired for â¬24 million, and which I presume is now worth â¬2 million or â¬3 million, and why could it not be developed? I do not agree with what the Minister...

Pat Rabbitte: Will the Minister quit on it or would anything make him quit?
