Pat Rabbitte: So what?

State Agencies. (13 Nov 2008)

Pat Rabbitte: Why did the Minister allow himself to be in the position of humiliating himself in the House giving us answers a four year old would not give? He knows and I know that what he is saying is nonsense. He referred to glossy brochures. Every morning my desk seems like it is covered in confetti because of the number of the glossy brochures with photographs of Minister landing on it. I cannot...

State Agencies. (13 Nov 2008)

Pat Rabbitte: The Minister said we will not receive any more glossy brochures from the Equality Authority. He has decided to kill off the authority. Will he explain to the House in a mature way how he will save on rent in Dublin by leasing an additional premises in Roscrea? How will he save money by creating a parallel organisation in Tipperary? Is this not a political stunt and a double whammy? He...

Joint Policing Committees. (13 Nov 2008)

Pat Rabbitte: Will the Minister continue the policing committees on the same basis as they operated in the pilot?
