Leaders' Questions (30 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Today is a day that will be remembered for a very long time. It is the day that crystallises more than a decade of mismanagement of our economy and bad government by Fianna Fáil. It is very easy for the Taoiseach to stand here and point across the floor of the House and ask about the Opposition's policies. We are here today because of the Taoiseach's policies. Today is the day that the...

Leaders' Questions (30 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: This is the fifth time we have heard this speech from the Taoiseach. When I first raised problems related to banking with him, he told the House that the Irish banking system was fine. There was no problem and it was well capitalised and fit for purpose. One of the most viewed videos on YouTube is of the Taoiseach making the same argument while standing in the New York Stock Exchange. He...

Leaders' Questions (30 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: Today, the Taoiseach tells us it was all because of an international banking crisis. Yes, there was such a crisis but the problem with the Irish banking system and economy is that it has suffered a double whammy, of which the Taoiseach is the second. The Irish economy and banking system is not only affected by an international crisis which has to be addressed but it is also in a unique...

Order of Business (30 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I have a question I wish to ask the Taoiseach. My understanding was that when the arrangements were originally being made for the proposal that there would be statements on banking today it was intended that there would be an opportunity to put questions to the Minister for Finance for reply. The original proposal was that this would take place before the end of the debate. Then the...

Order of Business (25 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I am glad to hear there will be a debate on the banking proposal next week. Is it intended that the debate will take place early in the week? If this decision is made by the Government early in the week, a debate on Thursday in the form of statements, for example, would not be acceptable. I would like to hear the details of the Government proposal for a debate. My second question concerns...

Order of Business (25 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I cannot see how this could be construed as Government business. It seems, if anything, to be Fianna Fáil business. If Fianna Fáil wanted to fly him home it should have paid the bill. In any event, it does not seem to be good value for money; the Government could buy an Independent for less.

Order of Business (25 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: There are two issues arising from the Tánaiste's reply. Twice, she used the term "draft" in referring to the report on the DDDA. I understood Professor Brennan had submitted a final report. What does the Tánaiste mean by stating it is in draft form? Does it mean Professor Brennan has not completed her report and that it is to be sent back to her? The Tánaiste also said that the...

Order of Business (25 Mar 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: What is happening here this morning is very similar to what the Government attempts to do as we come close to a recess. The first thing it does is bring forward legislation that was not adequately prepared in the first place, namely, the Merchant Shipping Bill, and instead of revising that legislation it brings in a batch of amendments that are larger than the Bill itself. The motion before...
