Leaders' Questions (17 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: There will be plenty of time for the Taoiseach and I to argue about who was right and wrong in respect of our judgments on the bank guarantee which tied the banks to the State and which has resulted in the State being dragged into the quagmire. We will come back to that. We are now in a situation where European institutions and the IMF are knocking on the door; they are on their way. The...

International Financial Services Centre (17 Nov 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I ask the Taoiseach specifically about the proposal for a green IFSC, which was one of the recommendations of the high level action group on green energy. That group reported one year ago. The Taoiseach tells us the feasibility study for the IFSC steering group was submitted in May 2010. It appears we have not heard anything further on it.
