- Order of Business (8 May 2014)
Micheál Martin: It appears from a very quick review of the record that we had this morning the shortest ever debate on the nomination of a Minister. There was once a tradition of having a day-long debate. On the last comparable occasion, three hours were allowed. It is interesting that, on that occasion, the current Taoiseach, who was then in opposition, attacked the time allowed as insufficient and...

- Leaders' Questions (13 May 2014)
Micheál Martin: Last Friday, we had the publication of the Guerin report into serious allegations that were made into the handling of various complaints of malpractice within Bailieborough Garda station and related events. Having read the report, it seems clear that the former Minister, Deputy Shatter, resigned as a response to chapters 19 and 20 of that report and the conclusions arrived at, and not just...
- Leaders' Questions (13 May 2014)
Micheál Martin: I asked whether the Taoiseach asked Deputy Shatter to resign regarding chapters 19 and 20 of the report, because that is the only reason one can deduce by reading the report his failure to exercise a specific statutory function he had. The local and European elections should have nothing to do with it, although the Minister alluded to them in his letter. Is it the Taoiseach's view that the...

Micheál Martin: This did not all happen overnight. There was silence from the Government when the conversation between the confidential recipient and Sergeant Maurice McCabe was leaked. I asked two questions on it in the House and the Taoiseach said nothing. The first day I asked if there were significant discussions in the Cabinet about the penalty points dossier. The Minister for Transport, Tourism and...

- Leaders' Questions (13 May 2014)
Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach did not answer my original question. I have already asked the cause of Deputy Shatter's resignation as Minister. I have asked about the ramifications for the Department of Justice and Equality arising from chapters 19 and 20 of the Guerin report and whether the Taoiseach has received any formal response from the Department about those conclusions. Does the Taoiseach accept...
