Vote for the Health Service Executive 2005-06: Statements. (26 Jan 2006)

John Gormley: I propose to share time with Deputies Gregory and McHugh. In the 200 seconds I have to speak on this issue I wish to hold the Minister to account. The Minister has indulged in some creative accounting. Yesterday the Minister for Finance told us we would have, in the Government's term, a carry over of €56 million. This is public money and the public wants to know what is going on in the...

Vote for the Health Service Executive 2005-06: Statements. (26 Jan 2006)

John Gormley: The Tánaiste has used an interesting phrase, namely, "transitional issues". For how long will we experience these transitional issues?

[3086/06]

Departmental Funding. (31 Jan 2006)

John Gormley: I think the Tánaiste will agree with me that ISANDS carries out tremendous work. The purpose of my question was to ask why the society received a once-off payment in 2005.

In addition, it must hold meetings throughout the country, hire hotel rooms, which often cost approximately €300 per night, and send off newsletters to its members and others who...

Departmental Funding. (31 Jan 2006)

I would appreciate it if the Tánaiste made every effort to assist these people.
