- Order of Business (18 May 2016)
Micheál Martin: We have received a report from the HSE on the numbers of operations and procedures that have been cancelled or postponed in public and voluntary hospitals to date in 2016. Deputy Billy Kelleher tabled those questions. It is striking that there have been more than 5,500 cancellations of operations in the first six months of the year. It is illustrative of the runaway train waiting lists in...

- Order of Business (18 May 2016)
Micheál Martin: There is one procedural matter.

Is it her intention to meet the chairperson of the Policing Authority to put it to the authority that it is important, in terms of accountability and transforming culture, that...
- Leaders' Questions (18 May 2016)
Micheál Martin: Since yesterday, the controversy surrounding the O'Higgins report involving the leaked transcripts has escalated, particularly given the leaks of a different nature, one to "Six One" news, a separate leak of transcripts to the "Prime Time" programme and extensive leaks in the Irish Examineragain this morning. These are all fairly damaging in terms of their revelations, albeit perhaps crying...

Micheál Martin: I asked the Tánaiste yesterday whether she had spoken to the Commissioner or not, and she did not give a clear reply. I think Deputy Adams asked the same question. Can she confirm whether she actually had a meeting with the Garda Commissioner in regard to this entire issue, with a view to bringing about a mechanism to resolve it in a transparent manner? Has she had such a meeting or...

- Leaders' Questions (18 May 2016)
Micheál Martin: Finally, if I may, can the Tánaiste clarify, in the case of the meeting in Mullingar in 2008 which Maurice McCabe recorded - and if he had not recorded it, God knows where he would be, as I said yesterday - are there any issues emanating from that and has there been any investigation into how all of that came about? It seems to have led to the rather hostile and adversarial manner in...
