- Order of Business (21 Jun 2011)
Micheál Martin: On that last proposal, I thank the Taoiseach and the Chief Whip for the additional small amount of time that has been offered, even though my party asked for more. I suggest that for the past three months, the European Union has failed to implement the agreement to reduce the interest rates. The crisis at European level has been allowed to get worse and the risk of a dramatic default has...
- Order of Business (21 Jun 2011)
Micheál Martin: This week's European Council meeting does not have our issues on its agenda and even in light of the incredible seriousness of the issues facing Europe, the discussion this week specifically on the European Council meeting is being limited to approximately one hour.

- Order of Business (21 Jun 2011)

- Departmental Appointments (21 Jun 2011)
Micheál Martin: Given that this is the procedure used for appointing the new Secretary General with responsibility for public expenditure and reform, which the Taoiseach will, no doubt, also examine, is he satisfied with the procedures used for filling that role? It is almost three months since the media were briefed that these jobs were being filled as a matter of urgency and that, in themselves, they...
