- Order of Business. (21 Feb 2006)
Trevor Sargent: It appears rushed once again for such a large and significant Bill to be dealt with in this way. Notwithstanding the late sitting, it was not planned for. If we are to have a reasoned debate, I agree with the proposal that Thursday should be the day on which Second Stage is taken. I oppose the late sitting on that basis.
- Order of Business. (21 Feb 2006)
Trevor Sargent: I ask that time be allocated to debate No. 9 rather than for it be passed without debate on the basis that the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children has been advised in regard to the avian flu situation. It is important that the Health Service Executive's concerns be addressed. The Minister concerned asked on a radio programme this morning that people dealing with poultry make...
- Order of Business. (21 Feb 2006)
Trevor Sargent: I correct the record on the Taoiseach's earlier comment in that all Green parties oppose nuclear power. Will the Taoiseach allow legislation to amend the strategic infrastructure Bill to ensure that nobody thinks the Taoiseach is trying to bring in nuclear power by the back door through this legislation? In England, a charities conference is being held today, and there is a charities...

- Leaders' Questions. (22 Feb 2006)
Trevor Sargent: The Taoiseach is aware that every day commuters, parents, children, carers, all members of our society, are affected by a legacy of bad planning. We have greater car dependency than any other country one cares to mention, greater congestion costing business billions of euro, and lack of local amenities on new housing estates. The dispersed low density sprawl is a legacy of bad planning. Does...

- Leaders' Questions. (22 Feb 2006)
Trevor Sargent: I am asking the Taoiseach what does he condone. That is my job here: to question the Taoiseach. I will not refer, as the Ceann Comhairle did, to a tribunal. I am simply asking the Taoiseach what he condones. Does he condone bribery, corruption and bad planning? Does he have a policy on telling untruths to a party inquiry and will he ask these two Members to step aside or does he have any...
