- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Official Engagements (16 Oct 2012)
Micheál Martin: I agree it is imperative decisions be followed up. It is the lack of follow through on the part of the Taoiseach that baffles me. It is incredible he did not feel the need to ring the leaders concerned at the very minimum. This was no ordinary statement. It was a serious and profound statement by three senior Ministers for Finance from three very important countries whose interpretation...

- Leaders' Questions (16 Oct 2012)
Micheál Martin: Does the Taoiseach accept the commitment in the programme for Government is dishonest, cannot be fulfilled and should be withdrawn? It is not the wording of the Opposition but the Government. The programme for Government says additional funding will be provided each year for the care of older people. The Taoiseach said that less than 18 months ago, after the election.
- Leaders' Questions (16 Oct 2012)
Micheál Martin: Much more was promised before the election. The Taoiseach said the money would go to the delivery of more home help services and hours. From what the Taoiseach said today, that will not happen and we know this because, as Deputy Simon Harris said at a meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts last week, the health budget is clearly built on sand. That was his comment, which I have been...
- Leaders' Questions (16 Oct 2012)
