Cabinet Committees. (1 Mar 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Perhaps the Taoiseach can remind Deputies who is on the Cabinet sub-committee and the dates of the meetings of which we are talking. We should have such details when we are asking questions of the line Ministers and doing the real business. I ask the Ceann Comhairle to consider the spectacle before him. We are asking about the date of a meeting, which is information that could quite easily be...

Cabinet Committees. (1 Mar 2006)

Public Order Offences: Statements (Resumed). (28 Feb 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Ba mhaith liom mo chuid ama a roinnt leis na TeachtaíÓ Snodaigh, Harkin agus Cowley.
