Leaders' Questions. (28 Jun 2005)

Trevor Sargent: Legal advice of a political nature, I would argue, in terms of the Government. Not to ask for that is, in itself, an irresponsible lack of action. Does the Taoiseach not accept that on the back of that delay by the then Minister, Deputy O'Donoghue, the Attorney General was involved in prosecuting criminal cases in which we now know the State to have been in the wrong? Is the Taoiseach not...

Cabinet Committees. (28 Jun 2005)

Trevor Sargent: I hope the Ceann Comhairle will consider that my question is in order. To take 45 minutes to ask the Taoiseach when the committee last met is not a good use of parliamentary time. The limitations on party leaders or anyone else asking the Taoiseach a question are so strict that we are forced to ask questions about when the committee last met. I ask the Ceann Comhairle to bear in mind that we...

Cabinet Committees. (28 Jun 2005)

Trevor Sargent: I also ask about equality as it relates to people with disabilities because 16% of the complaints made to the Equality Authority were from people with disability. Such facts indicate that the Cabinet committee on social inclusion and drugs needs to meet more regularly and needs to be more public and more effective in responding to these growing problems.

Northern Ireland Issues. (28 Jun 2005)

Trevor Sargent: The joint communiqué contains a number of items, but the one with which I am concerned states the Irish Government raised its concerns regarding the Dublin-Monaghan bombings. Has the Taoiseach proceeded to discuss the possibility of a court case in the European Court of Human Rights with the Attorney General and what progress has been made in that regard? Does the Taoiseach have any...

Order of Business. (22 Jun 2005)

Trevor Sargent: We asked the Taoiseach earlier about the cross-Department team on infrastructure. With regard to legislation I want to ask about, the Taoiseach talked about looking at the situation -À la Humphrey Bogart rather than À la Taoiseach. Has the Taoiseach any plans to deal with the high ratio spending on roads? Will he publish the Dublin metro Bill and ensure it becomes a reality, or the...

Leaders' Questions. (22 Jun 2005)

Trevor Sargent: We obviously have work to do. Perhaps I might ask the Taoiseach about the reply that he gave on 20 April in which he claimed hospital facilities were excellent once one had got through the accident and emergency department. Will he correct the record in that regard, especially concerning people vulnerable to infection and in particular people with cystic fibrosis, who would not have to go...
