EU Summits. (7 Mar 2006)

Will there be awareness at the March European Council meeting of the serious phenomenon of the peak of oil production which is imminent if it has not already been reached? Even the most optimistic forecasters and geologists predict it...

Order of Business. (2 Mar 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I thank the Tánaiste for meeting Patient Focus and those affected as well as the hospital authorities. Legislation arises from this issue and it is important that the Tánaiste indicate the timeframe involved for the redress board, given that the 25-year neglect is at the heart of this controversy.
