- Programme for Government. (17 Feb 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach refers to my first question as an internal party matter. It is not an internal party matter. I am asking him about the programme for Government, which is the marriage contract - if one could elevate it to that status at all - between his party and the Green Party. One of the provisions in that programme for Government relates to appointments to public bodies. There is a...
- Programme for Government. (17 Feb 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach states that this will require legislation, but could the Government not do this anyway? If there is a more open and transparent system for appointment to public bodies, the Government could do it without having to go through the bother of bringing in legislation. The job in Commissioner Geoghegan-Quinn's cabinet could have been advertised in line with the provisions of this...

- Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: As President Clinton once said in a different context, when it comes to jobs I am afraid the Government never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. There was no contract last August when this company started talking to the Government. There was no contract last April when the staff of SRT had a plan to develop that business and to create jobs. There is a contract now. I wonder who...

- Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: This is about jobs, and the fact that the Government is not addressing the jobs crisis. The Taoiseach said he cannot act unlawfully. The problem is he is not acting at all. Before SRT he did nothing to save the jobs in Waterford. We have probably-----

Eamon Gilmore: The Minister wasted â¬60 million of taxpayer's money buying electronic voting machines, which have never been used, which cannot be used and which are now in storage. I recall the day well. He did that by taking a decisive ministerial decision. It is amazing how this incompetent, wasteful Government can take decisive decisions doing daft things but the Government parties can take no...
- Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2010)

- Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach appears to have become an expert on the size of hangars overnight. This is not about hangars 1, 2, 6 or whatever because his responsibility in this is the strategic importance of this particular business.
