Leaders' Questions (3 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I am only asking about it.

EU Summits (3 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Question 1: To ask the Taoiseach Taoiseach if he will make a statement on his participation in the E.U. Summit in Brussels on 28 and 29 October 2010 [39735/10]

EU Summits (3 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Question 2: To ask the Taoiseach Taoiseach if he will make a statement on any discussions he had with other E.U. leaders on the margins of the E.U. Summit in Brussels on 28 and 29 October 2010 [39736/10]

EU Summits (3 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I wish to ask the Taoiseach about the proposal to make a treaty change to accommodate the establishment of a permanent mechanism for financial stability and the stabilisation fund. I understand it is the intention that the President of the Council will report back to the December summit. Does the Taoiseach expect that the President of the Council, Mr. Van Rompuy, will make a proposal to the...

EU Summits (3 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Does the Taoiseach believe that the issue of treaty change which is now being considered by the President of the Council is contributing in any way to the uncertainty in the markets? A possible treaty change in respect of crisis mechanisms is being considered by the European Council while the Heads of some member states are speculating and making suggestions on how those mechanisms might...

EU Summits (3 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I thank the Taoiseach for that considered reply. I wish to pursue the issue a little further. The Taoiseach is right. It is in all our interests that the credibility of the country is protected and the very worrying levels of interest rates and what is happening in the bond markets, and so on, are narrowed. Clearly, there are a number of elements to that. We can argue the toss in this...

Order of Business (3 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach should tell us whether the Government intends to appeal this decision. It would be extraordinary if the Government were to commit public moneys to appeal a decision, the consequence of which would benefit only the two Government parties. I put it to him also that this is a situation where the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government will have a central role....

Order of Business (3 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: It is very serious.

Order of Business (3 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach told us yesterday, and keeps telling us, that he derives his mandate and authority from having a majority in this House. As Deputy Kenny has pointed out, the majority he now enjoys in this House is less than the number of vacant seats. The High Court has now decided that there is an unreasonable delay in the holding of the Donegal South-West by-election, and it is fair to say...

Order of Business (3 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: The question that is being asked of the Taoiseach is not a complicated legal one.

Order of Business (3 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: He is not required to do a microscopic reading of the judgment and give us a learned opinion. What is being asked of the Taoiseach is a political question. The High Court has found there is an unreasonable delay in holding the by-election. The Taoiseach says it is a matter for the Dáil. An all-party committee of the Dáil decided some time ago that by-elections should be held within six...

Order of Business (3 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: The issue is simple. The High Court has found that the delay is unreasonable. People are waiting for these by-elections. The Government has a call to make, and the Taoiseach, without hiding behind the necessity of considering the judgment and so on, should be capable of giving a political response to that.

Order of Business (3 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach has said that the issue of the holding of the by-elections is a matter for the Dáil. The Taoiseach has declined to say whether the Government intends to appeal the decision. If this is a matter for the Dáil - I believe it is - then the Dáil should decide. I give the Taoiseach notice now that on our Private Members' time next week, the Labour Party will introduce a motion to...

[39301/10]

Order of Business. (4 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Likewise, before the Labour Party can agree the Order of Business proposed by the Taoiseach, which sets out a sequence for the taking of a number of motions for the moving of writs in respect of outstanding by-elections, we want a response from the Taoiseach in regard to the Government's decision to appeal yesterday's High Court decision in respect of the Donegal South-West by-election. I...
