Leaders' Questions (7 Dec 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: If it had paid attention to what we had to say about employment at a much earlier stage of this crisis, the Government would not be in a position where the numbers out of work have risen from 154,000 at the time of the last election to 425,000 now.

Leaders' Questions (7 Dec 2010)

To my recollection, most budgets would normally have perhaps half a dozen financial resolutions which would be dealt with in the period of time to which we refer. I do not have a particular objection to the...
