- Cabinet Sub-Committees (8 Nov 2011)
Micheál Martin: My initial question relates to whether there have been changes to the membership of the Cabinet sub-committee on health which, to date, has only met on one occasion.

We all...

The Taoiseach made all of these comments....
- EU Summits (8 Nov 2011)
Micheál Martin: -----lack of attendance at meetings. I refer him to a Swedish research paper. It was categoric that, during the past decade, the Irish Government was fifth out of the 27 member states in terms of attendance.
