Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (1 Jun 2005)

Trevor Sargent: I hope we can avoid repetition given that we dealt with the same questions some weeks ago on 11 May regarding whether the Government is prepared to take legal action against the British Government for non-co-operation over this matter in the European Court of Human Rights. The Taoiseach indicated on that date that he needed to take legal advice as to how to pursue the matter but that he was...

Benchmarking Awards. (1 Jun 2005)

Trevor Sargent: My question arises from the new review announced in April. I understand the Government asked for an interim report in June if any anomalies were found that would have to be addressed. Does the Taoiseach expect a report this month, and have cost implications of such a review been included in figures in his Department? Is there a way to answer questions on productivity in a definite way? Can...

Order of Business. (1 Jun 2005)

Trevor Sargent: The public awareness and outrage over this matter indicate a demand for legislation. I hope that all in this House recognise the need to respond practically, with legislation, and if necessary a Supplementary Estimate if the Health Service Executive does not have the spare bed capacity, if it closes a nursing home.

Leaders' Questions. (31 May 2005)

Trevor Sargent: More often than not, on Tuesday afternoon Leaders' Questions is informed by the RTE's "Prime Time". Once again, the situation revealed by the "Prime Time" investigation has proved to be shocking. Indeed, the shock in north County Dublin is quite palpable given the trust placed in the Leas Cross nursing home by relatives and patients. The Taoiseach said that the Health Service Executive will...

Leaders' Questions. (31 May 2005)

Trevor Sargent: It is amazing that the Taoiseach does not feel he has any lessons to learn from having opened this facility. It appears that in early May, the Government shelved plans by the former Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Micheál Martin, to develop 850 beds in community nursing units in the east and south as part of a PPP arrangement on the grounds that the plans would have breached the...

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31. (31 May 2005)

Trevor Sargent: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to require an explanation from Government as to why the legislation to regulate charities has not seen the light of day even though the Costello report on this issue was published in 1990 and in the meantime very many concerns have arisen relating to charities such as the ISPCC, Gorta and more recently the Christina Noble Foundation,...

Order of Business. (31 May 2005)

Trevor Sargent: Is the Taoiseach reconsidering the legislation for the referendum on the constitutional treaty? Before debating it in the Dáil, does he intend to speak to Prime Minister Blair, who will hold the EU Presidency for the next six months, about whether there is any point bringing that legislation to the House and whether it will have significance? We have a great deal of other legislation to deal...
