- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: I find that puzzling. If one adds 529 to 161, it comes to virtually all 757 of the deportation orders implemented. The remarkable thing about 2010 is that if one adds 286 to 126 one gets 412 and there were only 353 deportation orders.

Pat Rabbitte: Is the Minister is misleading me and the House?
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: I asked the Minister how many deportation orders there were and he told me. Then he said that was not taking the voluntary departures into account. When I add the voluntary departures to the departures implemented I get a figure that is more than the number of deportation orders in the first place.
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: That is not acceptable in this House. I do not know whether the Minister or whoever wrote the reply for him cannot count, but that is really bad form.
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: The Minister must accept it. How much is two and two?
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: On this point, that is not what the Minister said. For example, I have his previous answer before me. It says, "Overall, the level of evasion, the lodgement of judicial challenges and the likely voluntary departure from the State of persons served with a deportation order...". It is not a question of people additional and separate from those served with a deportation order. I regard it as...
- Deportation Orders (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: That is an excellent question.

Pat Rabbitte: The figures are rattling the Minister.

Pat Rabbitte: A touch of dyslexia.

Pat Rabbitte: Can the Minister assure the House that the construction of the watered-down project at Thornton Hall has survived the bilateral process-----
- Prison Building Programme (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: I am asking whether the watered-down project at Thornton Hall - the Minister will agree that the new arrangement of building 400 cells for 700 prisoners was not the original project - has survived the bilateral process. Have the moneys been provided and are they assured for this project? Has any consideration been given in the Minister's Department to the abandonment of this project and...
- Prison Building Programme (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Is it accurate to summarise the Minister's reply by saying he does not have the money earmarked for this project as yet and that he is still in the Estimates process? Returning to the question I asked, the Minister will recall before the collapse of the PPP, when I asked if he was sure the developer, the preferred bidder, was able to deliver, he got up on his high horse and told me he would...
- Prison Building Programme (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: He did not know anything about it and, of course, it collapsed shortly thereafter.
- Prison Building Programme (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Is there a danger that this will collapse? Is there a danger we will be left with a road into a field, around which a fin wall will have been built? What does the Minister propose to do with the Mountjoy Prison site which he acquired for â¬24 million, and which I presume is now worth â¬2 million or â¬3 million, and why could it not be developed? I do not agree with what the Minister...
- Prison Building Programme (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Will the Minister quit on it or would anything make him quit?
- Prison Building Programme (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Will the Minister let me know the figures if he gets stuck?
- Crime Prevention (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Question 2: To ask the Minister for Justice and Law Reform the latest information available to him on the security threat posed by dissident paramilitary organisations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35523/10]
- Crime Prevention (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: I join with the Minister in deploring what happened on Monday night. Do I take it from what he has said that the dissident groups have the capacity not just to create destruction and mayhem, but to injure and take human life? We know from experience that is only a matter of time before human life will be put at risk, whatever their intention. One reads reports about training bases and camps...
- Crime Prevention (7 Oct 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Much as we would like it to be the case, it is not quite true to say that there is no support for these groupings. I read about the research done by a Liverpool academic who presented it to Queens University Belfast recently which indicates that, regrettably, there appears to be more support among the Nationalist community for them than we would have thought. In terms of the identity and...

Pat Rabbitte: For the record, I am not equating it.
