- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Departmental Programmes (12 Jun 2019)
Micheál Martin: It was interesting to read this morning that the first reaction of Fine Gael Ministers to the damning report of the Fiscal Advisory Council was to have a discussion about how to attack the Opposition. This confirms yet again that the only form of defence the Government has is to attack the Opposition for the Government's own failures. That is an approach which has long stopped being...
- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Departmental Operations (12 Jun 2019)
Micheál Martin: When the Taoiseach took office two years ago, he told the House he would conduct a thorough review of the staffing and structure of the Department of the Taoiseach. Based on the information provided, it seems there have been no significant changes to the structure and staffing. Will he indicate if that is correct? The number of major issues having to be dealt with by this division is...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (12 Jun 2019)
Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach will find the Opposition constructive and co-operative, as we have always been, on this issue. Originally, we had agreed with the Scally inquiry. It was the Minister who caved in and said he was going to have a political investigation; no one else did. He came under pressure from some quarters in the House and he caved in on the floor of the House that night. That is fine,...

Micheál Martin: Yesterday's supplementary report from Dr. Gabriel Scally on the CervicalCheck scandal will raise further concerns, while also providing reassurance in relation to quality and standards. It makes some interesting insights and recommendations. There is clearly concern about the number of laboratories which are being used to outsource testing, which is 16 rather than the original six, but Dr....
