- Departmental Staff. (27 Apr 2005)
Trevor Sargent: My question can hopefully be answered straightforwardly. I am wondering about the 4% reduction in the Taoiseach's staff levels. Has he succeeded in making that reduction in 2005, or is any of the reduction coming off the spin doctoring wing of his Department? Am I right in saying the cost of special advisors, programme managers and press officers to the Department of the Taoiseach is...

- Freedom of Information. (27 Apr 2005)
Trevor Sargent: In his answer the Taoiseach stated that six requests had been received. He then proceeded to tell us that two had been granted, two had been part granted and one was withdrawn. Does the Taoiseach want to tell us about another one or do we need to submit a freedom of information request to find that out?
- Freedom of Information. (27 Apr 2005)
Trevor Sargent: I did not hear the final piece, go raibh maith ag an Taoiseach. Given the sizeable decrease in the number of freedom of information requests, from 143 in 2003 to 45 in 2004, and given that the Department of the Taoiseach has collected â¬525 in fees in 2004, does this match or exceed the cost of processing freedom of information requests? In other words does the freedom of information...

- Order of Business. (27 Apr 2005)
Trevor Sargent: The legislation relates to the Minister for Transport. Does the Minister intend not to wait for European initiatives regarding the retrofitting of trucks and large vehicles with mirrors to improve safety? Given the urgency of the matter, can we soon proceed to put these measures into effect rather than waiting for the number of casualties to escalate?

Trevor Sargent: There is probably potential for Leaders' Questions on Thursdays after all. If possible, can I deal with promised legislation and also the prospect of a debate?

- Order of Business. (28 Apr 2005)

A derogation will be sought until...
- Order of Business. (28 Apr 2005)
