- Leaders' Questions (1 Oct 2014)
Micheál Martin: It is a correction of the Dáil record. Yesterday, we had a statement from the Taoiseach which conflicts with his statement today in regard to the interview he had with Mr. McNulty. He said:I interviewed John McNulty, felt he was an excellent, outstanding candidate who was well qualified. During the course of the process of validating his eligibility, he expressed the wish to serve on...
- Leaders' Questions (1 Oct 2014)
Micheál Martin: -----to appoint Mr. McNulty to the board. Fine Gael officials decided out of the blue to suggest to the Minister that he should be appointed. Apparently they were not mandated by anybody. It is a complete mystery. Correspondents asked the Taoiseach's spokesperson yesterday who asked the Fine Gael officials to tell the Minister to nominate Mr. McNulty. The reply from the Taoiseach's...

Micheál Martin: I want to ask the Taoiseach a number of questions concerning the appointment of Mr. McNulty to the board of the Irish Museum of Modern Art by the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Deputy Heather Humphreys. Yesterday, the Taoiseach's attempt in the Dáil to bring clarity to the matter did not succeed and has raised far more questions than answers. There has been a lack of...

- Leaders' Questions (1 Oct 2014)
Micheál Martin: I will quote what the Taoiseach said in his reply to me yesterday. He said: "During the course of the process of validating his eligibility, Mr. McNulty expressed a wish to serve on a cultural body because he was intending to serve, if elected, to the Cultural and Educational Panel." A second ago, the Taoiseach flatly contradicted what he said yesterday. He said then that he had no...
- Leaders' Questions (1 Oct 2014)
Micheál Martin: In my opening remarks to the Taoiseach I did not ask about any other appointments. I only asked about Mr. McNulty's appointment to IMMA. It is the only question but the Taoiseach went down a diversionary route. This story is unravelling as it gets made up. One gets a terrible sense that people are trying to piece together and concoct a story that ends up blaming Fine Gael officials. Who...

- Order of Business (30 Sep 2014)
Micheál Martin: I have previously raised with the Taoiseach on the Order of Business the issue of extreme obesity and the lack of funding available for surgery for those who are at high risk in this regard.
