- Leaders' Questions (7 May 2014)
Micheál Martin: I would have appreciated some consultation on the issue, given that the Guerin report followed the presentation of issues to the Taoiseach by me in the Chamber related to very serious issues that merited further investigation. In good faith, the Taoiseach appointed a senior counsel to examine them. I sent the material to the Taoiseach. I am at a loss in the sense that I do not have...

- Leaders' Questions (7 May 2014)
Micheál Martin: No opportunity has been given to Opposition Members to respond to it. I understand there may be reasons for this, but I ask the Taoiseach if he can outline to the House the nature of the conclusions of Mr. Guerin's report that have led to the Minister's resignation. It is a very significant outcome of the report that it caused the Minister to resign. Can the Taoiseach outline whether the...
- Leaders' Questions (7 May 2014)
Micheál Martin: On a personal level, it is a very difficult day for any Minister to have to resign. On a political and a policy level, we certainly had differences with the Minister, Deputy Alan Shatter. I recall his rather trenchant - or very strong - comments on this issue in the House, but be that as it may. I take it that the Taoiseach has read the report and that, therefore, he must have had...
- Leaders' Questions (7 May 2014)
Micheál Martin: I am still unclear on the necessity for the Minister to resign or the reasons the report led to his resignation. Was the Taoiseach of the opinion that it made that a necessity? Can he outline to the House in any shape or detail what the report states? I take it that he is confirming that a separate commission of investigation to the one in relation to Garda taping will be established to...

- Europe Week: Statements (6 May 2014)
Micheál Martin: Commemorating the Schuman Declaration through Europe Day is rightly focused on stepping away from the day-to-day debates on policy proposals. It is an invitation to us all to look instead at the bigger picture, the fundamental achievements and directions of what remains the most successful inter-state organisation in history. The European Union has many failings, but they come nowhere near...

- Order of Business (6 May 2014)
Micheál Martin: I raised earlier with the Taoiseach the shocking situation pertaining to the removal of a medical card from Alex Coyle, the presentation of that issue on "The Saturday Night Show" by his parents, and the subsequent commentary by the Jack & Jill Children's Foundation to the effect that it has come across 300 children in similar situations, and it will have more to say about this later....
