- Church-State Dialogue (22 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: They are also on Northern Ireland and, in fairness, we would probably want to give them more than five minutes today. I want to ask the Taoiseach two questions. The first is in respect of the 50% of the package that will come from the religious congregations. It is intended that some of that will be in cash and some by way of transfer of property. On what basis is the property transfer...

Eamon Gilmore: I was interested in the proposals that were put forward jointly by IBEC and the ICTU and the Construction Industry Council yesterday , which are aimed at getting back to work the 140,000 building workers who have lost their jobs over the past two years. The package of proposals that was put forward jointly by the bodies yesterday amounts to â¬5.5 billion per annum in infrastructure works....

Eamon Gilmore: That is the Taoiseach's third go at talking his way around what is a very simple question.
- Leaders' Questions. (22 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach should leave aside for today the question of who is right and wrong. There will be bank inquiries and so on and there probably will be debates about banks in this House for a long time to come. The chief executive of Anglo Irish Bank came before an Oireachtas committee last week and stated in very simple and stark terms that the lion's share of the â¬22,000 million of...

- Order of Business. (22 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: I raised the issue on Thursday that the Government is planning to use the guillotine a number of times on legislation this week. It is intended to guillotine five Bills during the course of this week. That is bad habit on the part of the Government. It is done every year when we come towards the end of the session. It is a device which the Government is using serially in order to avoid...
- Order of Business. (22 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: I concur with Deputy Kenny. This is another example of a Bill where, frankly, the guillotine is not necessary. This Bill could have been dealt with in the normal course of events. If we needed extra time to deal it, that is fine and is already agreed. There is no need for a guillotine on this Bill.

Eamon Gilmore: Question 23: To ask the Minister for Finance if he will provide an update on prospective realignments within the Irish domestic banking sector; if he will provide updates with respect to the future of EBS, Irish Nationwide Building Society, Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Life and Permanent; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

- Order of Business. (17 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: I am being distracted by my party's deputy leader.
- Order of Business. (17 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: In the proposed business for next week the Government is back to its old bad habits. There are six pieces of legislation, which it proposes to guillotine. We get this coming towards the end of a session with a Government that cannot find enough business for the House to deal with for most of the year. Last week, for example, we had a short week with truncated business. When we come to the...
- Order of Business. (17 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: I agree fully with Deputy Ring and see great potential for agreement on this side of the House if we can follow this morning's precedent.
- Order of Business. (17 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: Like Deputy Ring, I oppose the guillotine on the Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2010. I draw Members' attention to the contrasting ways in which different sections of our society are treated by the Government. Yesterday, the Government announced another â¬250 million for the EBS and the chief executive of Anglo Irish Bank told an Oireachtas committee that the lion's share...
