- Official Engagements. (21 Jun 2006)
John Gormley: I apologise for not hearing the Taoiseach's original reply. The Taoiseach is aware that he was criticised for attending the UN conference on AIDS. Does he agree that much of this criticism was unwarranted? I was glad he attended and can confirm that his speech was well received at the UN, particularly by the African nations. I was sitting beside the delegation from Lesotho, which was very happy.

- Official Engagements. (21 Jun 2006)
John Gormley: If the Ceann Comhairle wishes to complain, that is fine. It was noticeable that many world leaders did not turn up at the UN. Does the Taoiseach agree this was regrettable? Can he explain the reluctance on the part of world leaders to take the problem of AIDS seriously? As the Taoiseach is aware, it is a major problem which has devastated Africa. Is it the case that such leaders simply bury...

- Waste Management: Motion. (20 Jun 2006)
John Gormley: I am pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to the debate. At a public meeting in Ringsend a number of weeks ago, I gave an undertaking on behalf of the Green Party that we would use our Private Members' time to table a motion calling on the Government to reassess its decision to grant approval for a public private partnership for an incinerator on the Poolbeg peninsula. Our motion...
- Waste Management: Motion. (20 Jun 2006)
John Gormley: Deputy McDowell is in Government and he is failing to deliver on his commitments. He has betrayed the electorate to whom he made these solemn promises. Unless the Minister persuades his party to accept the thrust of the motion, it is clear that both Government parties are in favour not only of this incinerator but of all incinerators. The main reason the hazardous waste incinerator was given...

Hence, it is not a big deal that this project will not be developed under the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill. There is nothing to prevent Dublin City...
- Waste Management: Motion. (20 Jun 2006)
John Gormley: Will the Government ignore Mr. McCarthy on this issue? Will the Government plough ahead in the knowledge that Dublin City Council has not properly addressed ash disposal and CO2 emissions, to mention just two issues? Will the Government turn a blind eye? For every three tonnes put into the incinerator, one tonne, which must be disposed of in a landfill, will be returned. Therefore, landfill...
