- Order of Business (11 May 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: I understand that legislation will be required to enable Ireland to participate in the package agreed at the weekend for the stabilisation of the euro. When will that legislation be prepared and brought before the House?

- Tribunals of Inquiry (11 May 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach has given the impression that the Government is unable to do anything about the legal fees because it fears the Opposition would take issue with such action and if, as a consequence of doing something on the legal fees, legal personnel were to walk away from the tribunal. I wish to make the Labour Party view quite clear. We have never raised any objection and will not raise...

- Order of Business (6 May 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: Following on from Deputy Kenny's questions and the answers given by the Tánaiste, I do not understand what the Government is considering. There is all-party agreement on the wording for this referendum. Do I understand from the Tánaiste that the Government is reconsidering the wording of the referendum or is the issue the date for holding the referendum? If it is just the date for...

- Order of Business (6 May 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: The Tánaiste just said the Minister of State has been asked to set up the necessary requirements. I do not understand that. For a referendum to be held, the Government must prepare a Bill.
- Order of Business (6 May 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: I am not initiating a debate, I am trying to find out the whereabouts of promised legislation, as I am entitled to do. The Government has promised a referendum on the rights of children and a wording has been agreed on an all-party basis.

- Order of Business (6 May 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: When this issue was raised on the Order of Business yesterday, I made the point, one on which I agreed with the Taoiseach, that this is a matter of national interest. How this country deals with the crisis in Greece, the contribution we are making to the European assistance being provided to Greece, what is happening in Greece and what happens with the euro have serious consequences for all...
- Order of Business (6 May 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: A Cheann Comhairle, I respectfully suggest that you listen to what we are saying. The reason Deputy Kenny and I are opposing the Order of Business-----
- Order of Business (6 May 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: Let me start again. The reason the Labour Party is opposing the Order of Business today is because there exists a set of serious economic circumstances in Europe, currently concentrated in Greece, and at the heart of these problems, decisions are being made by private ratings agencies that are determining the credit rating of individual countries. The same ratings agencies have a very poor...

- Order of Business (5 May 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: On the same issue, I understand the particular motion that is before the House deals with the arrangements for the way in which national parliaments, and the Dáil in particular, will deal with European matters under the Lisbon treaty. I agree with Deputy Kenny that, as a parliament, we have now been give a greater role in European matters and in the way the Government represents the country...
- Order of Business (5 May 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: There is an issue of national interest in respect of the arrangements being made to provide assistance for Greece and its membership of the euro. It would assist greatly if we could have the issue discussed in the House. The Taoiseach has been a little vague as to when the legislation will be before the House. He said it would be considered by Government but it would be useful to know when...
- Order of Business (5 May 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: We do not ask the questions of civil servants. We have tolerated a situation where, because of the industrial action, replies have not been forthcoming. The fact that civil servants are taking industrial action does not absolve Ministers of their responsibility to the House. To be fair, there has been a mixed experience regarding the replies Members are getting in response to parliamentary...
