Order of Business. (20 Jun 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Will the Comhairle (Amendment) Bill 2004 be re-introduced as new legislation? It seems to be stuck. If the name of Comhairle changes and other changes are considered, will a new Bill be introduced? For a Bill which deals with information, it seems to be full of mystery. I wonder whether it should be called the faoi rún Bill rather than the Comhairle (Amendment) Bill. It must come before the...

Northern Ireland Issues. (20 Jun 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I would like to ask the Taoiseach about his meetings with the Finucane family, the British Government and the US authorities. The US Congress recently passed a resolution which gives additional weight to the calls for a credible independent inquiry and the rejection of the British assertion that the Inquiries Act would suffice in this regard. What support has the Taoiseach sought from the US...

Northern Ireland Issues. (20 Jun 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I refer to the report of an inquiry taking place in October. Are the British planning to proceed with some class of an inquiry under the Inquiries Act? Michael Finucane stated clearly regarding the force research unit of the British Army that the system worked exactly as intended and, in the British Government's eyes, it worked perfectly. Does the Taoiseach's information allow him to make...

Order of Business. (15 Jun 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Your contribution, a Cheann Comhairle, in which you asked what legislation this is related to makes the point very well. This House has been excluded from the process of negotiating the partnership agreement. If there is a debate on this matter, will we also be allowed to vote on it? Could an Oireachtas committee have a role in engaging with the partnership process so there is democratic...
