- Official Engagements (19 Oct 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: Do I understand correctly from the Taoiseach's reply that the commitment to have a four-year budgetary plan had been agreed by Government with the Commission before the meeting on 16 September? The Taoiseach referred to it in the course of his reply. I presume that the Taoiseach made a contribution to the meeting. If nobody else referred to the Irish economic situation, did he mention it in...

Eamon Gilmore: When the Minister for Finance came in here on budget day last year, he introduced the budget and told us the worst was over. All through the year he has repeated that the worst is over, that we have turned the corner and that the Government's plan is working.

- Adjournment Debate Matters (19 Oct 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach says the economic outlook now is weaker. Last year the Taoiseach was telling us there would be rapid growth in the Irish economy in 2010.

The Taoiseach said the cost of the banking crisis would be borne by the sector and...

- Order of Business (19 Oct 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: I would be happy to do that but I am raising this because the former chairman in his resignation statement expressed in diplomatic language that there was a problem with the hospital going on that site, what he referred to as" planning and design challenges". He said there was a shortage of money, which he referred to as "funding shortfall", and that the Government is not clear about is...
- Order of Business (19 Oct 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: There may be explanations for this but there is a great deal of public money involved. It is a major project and the Minister should come into the House and make a statement. The Minister for Finance promised he would introduce legislation and regulations to crack down on crony capitalism. The Labour Party also published a range of proposals on corporate governance and whistle blowing. I...

- Leaders' Questions (20 Oct 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: -----all over the place rather than focus on the actual question. The first piece of information we need to know is what are the growth forecasts for next year and if we are to have a four year budgetary plan the forecasts for the four years.
