- Croke Park Agreement (5 Jul 2011)
Micheál Martin: A fortnight ago the Taoiseach withdrew his election comments about the Croke Park agreement not being implemented, which I wish to acknowledge. It was not made clear from the Taoiseach's reply whether he sees himself as Head of Government having any role in driving this initiative and fostering a positive approach to public service reform. The Taoiseach has removed all the staff in his...

In February he said, "My only focus is on election day." It is very clear...
- Leaders' Questions (5 Jul 2011)
Micheál Martin: He made a decision to fire the board. As he travels around the country the Taoiseach can see the reaction of the people to the solemn commitments given that have now been broken.

- Order of Business (5 Jul 2011)

None were produced and the motion was guillotined...
