Order of Business (26 Apr 2007)

Trevor Sargent: I would like to ask the Minister for Finance, who has worked in the Departments of Health and Children and Foreign Affairs, about the register of persons who are considered unsafe to work with children.

Order of Business (26 Apr 2007)

Trevor Sargent: This measure again highlights the fact that the Dáil is being changed from an accountable Parliament into a tokenistic talk shop. We cannot be expected to deal with legislation and changes of this nature in such an offhand way and at the 11th hour of a Dáil term. The measure is also a further indication of how the Government is facilitating the eclipse of health by health care. It has...
