Order of Business (8 Jul 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I have objected to the use of the guillotine throughout this week and last week. However, on this occasion I must acknowledge that the Government has acceded to a request from the Labour Party that the Multi-Unit Developments Bill would be passed on Second Stage before the summer recess to allow it to go on Committee Stage. This is legislation the Labour Party has sought for some...

Order of Business (8 Jul 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: The proposal before us from the Fianna Fáil and Green Party Government is to close down the Dáil until 29 September.

Order of Business (8 Jul 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Even by the standards of this Government, closing down the Dáil until 29 September is exceptional. We must go back to 2003 to find a later date for the resumption of the Dáil than the Government is proposing for this year. Undoubtedly, when the Government uses its majority shortly to get this proposal passed, and it will be opposed by the Labour Party, it will inevitably be reported that...

Eamon Gilmore: If I were Deputy Healy-Rae, I would keep well clear of Killorglin in mid-August. I hear they do strange things to old bucks.

Order of Business (8 Jul 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I have a suggestion for the Government if it insists on a recess until 29 September. Will it reconvene the House for one day at the beginning of September to introduce the Bill to hold the referendum on children as well as table a motion to move the writ for the three by-elections for the three vacancies in the House? We could at least use the month of September to put the referendum on...

Order of Business (8 Jul 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I echo the good wishes of the Ceann Comhairle to all who work in this House - members, staff and media. I return to the issues I raised with the Tánaiste when we were debating the date for the resumption. I refer to the Government's plans for the children's referendum and the three by-elections. What is the Government's intention with regard to these matters? Will the Government consider...

Order of Business (7 Jul 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Given that the Government intends to close down the Dáil until late September, would the Taoiseach consider holding the three by-elections at some stage during the recess? I recall that last year the month of September was used for the campaign on the Lisbon referendum. I recall the launch of the Labour Party campaign on 31 August last year on that referendum. The Chief Whip, in...

Leaders' Questions (7 Jul 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: The people who will be on the streets of Dublin and other cities today have not dreamed this up, they are not imagining it. There have been cuts: Bawnmore in Limerick is closed; the facility on the Navan Road is closed; and Galway is threatened with closure or cutbacks in the services being provided. Last Friday all the service providers got letters informing them of the cutbacks that are...

Leaders' Questions (7 Jul 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I asked the Taoiseach two simple questions, neither of which he answered. What he has given me in reply is an Ard-Fheis speech. I have no problem with that; I will engage with him any time and anywhere in political back and forth and we can each give as good as we get. That is not the issue today.

Leaders' Questions (7 Jul 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: When we rise tomorrow for whatever length of time, whatever number of months the Taoiseach chooses to close down Dáil Éireann, parents and carers of people with disabilities will have to see how they are fixed over that two or three-month period in terms of providing care. They do not want to know what this Government or that Government did or what the Taoiseach did as Minister for Health....

EU Summits (7 Jul 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I wish to ask the Taoiseach about three of the conclusions reached at the summit. First, each Government must now submit a draft budget for 2012 for the approval of the Commission by the spring of next year. How will this system work in practice? In our system, budgets are not normally finalised until some days prior to their delivery. We do not know what they contain until they are...
