Housing Policy: Motion (Resumed). (22 Nov 2006)

Eamon Gilmore: I thank all the Members who contributed to this debate, particularly those Opposition Members who are supporting the Labour Party motion this evening. Yesterday evening, in response to the motion, the Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Noel Ahern, offered a mixture of flattery and delusion.

Order of Business (28 Nov 2006)

Eamon Gilmore: I agree with colleagues that this matter should be debated in the House. It is proposed to refer this for consideration by the Select Committee on Environment and Local Government tomorrow following which there would be a 20 minute debate on Thursday morning. Perhaps a way to deal with this would be to extend the 20 minute debate on Thursday morning to allow the House an adequate debate....

Order of Business (28 Nov 2006)

Eamon Gilmore: The schedule on Thursday is not exactly overloaded with legislation. We are not overburdened with legislation from the Government at present. If the morning period were given to it, then that would probably deal with it.

Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2006: Instruction to Committee (28 Nov 2006)

Eamon Gilmore: The motion asks permission from the House to bring in last minute legislation to deal with a mess created by the Government, particularly by this Minister.

The irony is that the amendment the Minister is now asking the...

Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2006: Report Stage (28 Nov 2006)

Eamon Gilmore: I am disappointed the Minister has not agreed to accept the amendment. I foresee that there will be practical difficulties in this regard. As homeless people do not have addresses, we cannot know the addresses at which they will be registered. When the Minister speaks again on this amendment, perhaps he will indicate whether it is intended to require that any given prisoner will be on the...
