Order of Business (25 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: The Labour Party does not agree to the Taoiseach's proposal to deal with this issue. What is proposed here is a set of statements which is an anodyne way of dealing with a major document from the Government. Like Deputy Kenny, I, too, do not believe that this is a plan for national recovery. It is a plan certainly for budgetary adjustments but it is not a plan for national recovery, and we...

Order of Business (25 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: -----he intends to introduce. At the time, he indicated he did have such a majority. If he is confident of this, and he has used the word "confidence" on a number of occasions, then the proposal before us today should be subject to a motion and a vote in the House.

Eamon Gilmore: Tá ceist agam don Taoiseach agus má fhanann an Ceann Comhairle go gcloiseann sé an cheist, beidh sé soiléir dó go bhfuil mé in ord. The Minister stated that it would be inappropriate for him to comment further on the matter while it is before the court.

National Recovery Plan 2011 - 2014: Statements. (25 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: This plan is the added price the people of Ireland must pay for 13 years of Fianna Fáil misrule. It is a price that must be added to the price already paid by those who have lost their jobs, whose businesses have gone or whose pay and services have been cut. This price must be paid by pensioners and people on the lowest pay, as well as by families and households nationwide. In his speech...

National Recovery Plan 2011 - 2014: Statements. (25 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: ----- and to all round the new year together. Consider this plan as some kind of down payment or deposit on another four or five years of Fianna Fáil rule. That is what this plan is about. This plan is the direct result of the politics of the Galway tent and of "show-time". It is the result of the unbelievable political arrogance and folly of the worst Governments in the history of this...

National Recovery Plan 2011 - 2014: Statements. (25 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: This plan is called a plan for national recovery. In fact, it is a plan for austerity, not for recovery. There is no coherent jobs strategy in the plan. There is plenty of waffle about the, so-called, smart economy.

National Recovery Plan 2011 - 2014: Statements. (25 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: This is the same stuff we have been hearing about for almost two years. The section on jobs is short on detail, particularly compared to the detail on cuts and tax increases. Where, for example, are the concrete numbers on training and employment programmes? The only numbers referred to are the small numbers already provided for. Where is there an investment strategy that uses what...

Leaders' Questions (30 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I did not think that it was possible for the Taoiseach and this Fianna Fáil Government to do any more damage to the country after the disastrous decision it made to provide the blanket guarantee to the banks which tied the banks to the State and which has brought us to this sorry pass with one disastrous economic decision after another. However, by any standards, the deal that was done last...

Leaders' Questions (30 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I do not know whether it is the Taoiseach's intention but he has ended up with an agreement which, in effect, purports to tie the hands of the next Government. I do not believe it had to be like that because going into those negotiations with the international organisations I believe this country had some bargaining power-----

Leaders' Questions (30 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: -----but the problem is the Government could not exercise it because it is now a weak Government in its last days. It did not have the credibility or the authority or ability to negotiate a decent honourable deal for this country. I have one question for the Taoiseach. Will he put the agreement to this House for its approval or rejection?

Leaders' Questions (30 Nov 2010)
