- Order of Business. (3 Jun 2010)

- Order of Business. (3 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: On the point of order, the Ceann Comhairle responded that he believes the House can vary the Order of Business for next week. I respectfully suggest to him that I do not see how it can do that, if there is no Order of Business at which the business of the House can be discussed
- Order of Business. (3 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: Second, if there is no provision for the taking of a division or vote next week, that means that the House will be deprived of making a decision. I submit that this proposal is not constitutional. I suggest that at a minimum the Ceann Comhairle should adjourn the House to take some advice on it and to perhaps consult either party leaders or party Whips on the proposal. I draw the Ceann...
- Order of Business. (3 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: We are a Parliament. We are elected here. We have rights and we will not be steamrolled.
- Order of Business. (3 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: The Ceann Comhairle has said that the House can vary the order next week and that the House is the master of its own destiny. This motion removes the House's mastery of its own destiny and its discretion. There is no means under the motion the Government is proposing whereby the House can change the order. The motion sets down the business for next week without any provision or opportunity...

- Official Engagements (2 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: As the Taoiseach will be aware, the reopening of trade negotiations with Mercosur has given rise to concerns with regard to the impact that imports of Brazilian beef could have on Ireland and other EU countries. What concerns did he raise about the possibility of the opening of the EU market to Brazilian beef while the food quality and safety standards that apply in Brazil are below those...
- Official Engagements (2 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: I want to go back to the replies the Taoiseach has given to Deputy Kenny and to me in regard to the Mercosur talks. What I interpret from what the Taoiseach is saying is that the reopening of those talks may bring the possibility of Irish farmers being faced with unfair competition from imports of Brazilian beef. The European Union has rightly put in place a regime of food safety,...
- Official Engagements (2 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: The representative absolutely rejected the idea of an independent international investigation into what happened on Monday morning. It is important that this position is simply not accepted. If it turns out that Israel persists in rejecting an independent international investigation into the events of last Monday morning, is it the Taoiseach's intention to pursue with other European Union...

- Constitutional Issues (1 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: One of the developments that occurred in the aftermath of the Sullivan report was the establishment of the Joint Committee on the Constitutional Amendment on Children. The committee, which was chaired by Deputy O'Rourke, reported in September 2008 and recommended that legislation to deal with so-called soft information should be introduced as a matter of urgency. Why has such legislation...
- Constitutional Issues (1 Jun 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: No, it relates to progress relating to the Sullivan report. The report in question dealt with the A case in 2006 and the matter to which I refer is one of the follow-ons from it.
