International Financial Services Centre. (20 Apr 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I want to ask the Taoiseach specifically about the proposal for a green IFSC, to which he referred, which was contained in the report of the high level action group on green enterprise which was published last December. Launching that report, both the Taoiseach and the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources said that of the order of 20,000 jobs could be created over the...

International Financial Services Centre. (20 Apr 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: That is a lot more ambiguous and long term than the statements about this made by the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources and the Taoiseach himself in December. The Taoiseach is now saying a feasibility study is being done. I would have thought the study would already have been done if it was in the report of the high level action group on green enterprise when it was...

Order of Business (1 Apr 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: It is not agreed. The proposal is that the Dáil shall adjourn until Tuesday, 20 April 2010. It has been the tradition that the Dáil adjourns for a fortnight for Easter. Whatever argument there may have been in the past about whether that is a good or bad idea or good or bad practice, it is certainly not acceptable for the times in which we are living. There is a range of things which we...

Eamon Gilmore: On a point of order, in her reply the Tánaiste indicated that today's exchanges would be the conclusion of the discussion on the banking issue. As Deputy Burton has pointed out, we agreed yesterday to the 90 minute arrangement which is provided for today. Our understanding in agreeing to that was that the debate would resume on the issue after Easter and would remain on the Order Paper in...

Order of Business (1 Apr 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I did not offer on this issue at the beginning of the discussion——

Order of Business (1 Apr 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: ——-because the arrangement whereby 90 minutes would be agreed for discussion of this issue today was agreed yesterday. The Labour Party agreed to that yesterday and I intend that it will honour that agreement.

Order of Business (1 Apr 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Part and parcel of that agreement was an understanding that we would be enabled to return to this issue after Easter. I do not want that opportunity to be closed down because it would be quite different from what we agreed to yesterday. Statements on banking policy would remain on the Order Paper, in the same way statements on the budget and so on remain on it, and we would return to them...
