Programmes for Government. (8 Nov 2005)

Trevor Sargent: Does the Taoiseach agree that the annual progress report we are discussing is, in many ways, a reinvention of the programme for Government? It is the latest manifestation of that programme as it was at that time. It has been subject to many changes to the extent that the programme for Government is a moveable feast.

[33077/05]

Physical Education Facilities. (8 Nov 2005)

Trevor Sargent: I thank the Minister for her reply but I ask her to take account of what needs to be done as well as what is being done. The National Heart Alliance has called on the Department of Education and Science to take a lead role in tackling childhood obesity. The alliance should be pushing an open door in approaching the Minister with suggestions in this area, given that one in five children are...

Physical Education Facilities. (8 Nov 2005)

Trevor Sargent: I am sure the Minister is not casting aspersions on the Minister for Transport over the lack of safe routes to school, though that is a matter to be resolved between Cabinet colleagues. During my time as a teacher, and perhaps during the Minister's time also, milk was provided in schools. There is a need to liaise with other Departments to provide healthier foods at schools in an attempt to...

Order of Business. (8 Nov 2005)

Trevor Sargent: The Minister of State, Deputy Callely, does not need more of the oxygen of publicity. Given the awareness the Taoiseach has about the coast, particularly around Colt Island in Skerries, will the coastal zone management legislation be resurrected? I refer to the sea fisheries and maritime——

Order of Business. (8 Nov 2005)

Trevor Sargent: I am sorry. I was in the middle of stating the title of a Bill. It might be longer than the Ceann Comhairle would like but it is the sea fisheries and maritime jurisdiction Bill, which was due to come before the House but was withdrawn. Where stands the legislation?

Legislative Programme. (9 Nov 2005)

Trevor Sargent: The Taoiseach is responsible for referenda. We had the Order for Second Stage of the 28th Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2005, which was a prerequisite for a referendum. Will the Taoiseach indicate if that legislation will be brought forward in the future or is it in abeyance? Does it depend on factors outside his control or can he indicate if he has a date in mind? We discussed...
