Eamon Gilmore: Question 3: To ask the Taoiseach to report on the publication by him on 4 October 2010 of the Second Report of the Organisational Review Programme [35866/10]

Public Service Reform (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: The report, which was published in October, was particularly critical of the Department of Health and Children. It stated that the Department had not yet got to grips with managing the Health Service Executive, that allocation of staff was uneven and that staff morale within the Department was at a very low level. It went on to state "the quality of leadership [within] the Department is...

Public Service Reform (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: However, this is a report of the organisational review programme, which is the responsibility of the Taoiseach. The Taoiseach still has overall responsibility for the Government. This was a report that was conducted under the aegis of the Department of the Taoiseach on various Departments and, as I am entitled to do, I am asking the Taoiseach a question about it.

Public Service Reform (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach is being very open.

Public Service Reform (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: One point made in the report regarding the Department of Health and Children was that at junior level, some staff are overwhelmed with work while at the same time, staff in other areas have little or nothing to do. Specifically, has that problem been resolved or when is such resolution likely? When are the reports due for the other Departments that are subject to the organisational review...

Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I wish to pursue this a bit further because we now are in a situation of considerable instability and lack of certainty. This largely has been brought about by the Government itself. The Taoiseach contributed to this last week when he continued to deny that discussions were taking place with the European Union and the IMF. It ended up that the Governor of the Central Bank told Members on...

Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: It is important that we have clarity and stability in budgetary matters and in the political life of the country. However, the Taoiseach has brought anything but clarity to this matter in his replies, both to Deputy Kenny and to myself. It is not in the country's interest that the budgetary process be prolonged until the end of March. It is not in our interest that we have a three to four...

Order of Business (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I have in my hand a notice - it is not quite clear from where it was issued but it was somewhere in Government - concerning the launch of the four-year plan tomorrow. It states that the time and venue of the launch will be announced tomorrow, Wednesday, 24 November, but it invites media organisations to submit applications for accreditation for one reporter, one television camera -...

Order of Business (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Clearly, the Government has already decided the arrangements for the launch of the four-year plan and it is not to be announced here in the House.

Order of Business (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: In the interests of the clarity of which the Taoiseach spoke earlier, can he tell us at what time will the four-year plan be launched tomorrow, where will it be launched and will the House be given an opportunity of discussing it tomorrow? Will the Minister for Finance or the Taoiseach-----

Order of Business (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: -----come into the House to present it?

Order of Business (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: On the second matter I want to raise, yesterday the Green Party announced that its Ministers intend to resign from Government some time, apparently, in the new year. The Constitution provides for the arrangements whereby Ministers resign from Government. Have the Green Ministers submitted resignations to the Taoiseach and have they indicated a date when they are resigning from Government?...

Order of Business (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Third, if he does not intend to do that, where stands the principle of collective responsibility in Government?

Order of Business (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I thank the Taoiseach.

Order of Business (23 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Hold on now.
