- Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: Their time is going to be taken up dealing with these various three stages now rather than having them conducted in public. The Taoiseach has given us no explanation as to why this should be done in private rather than in public. He has cited the precedent of the commissions of investigation leading to the Ryan report and the Murphy report. Those were appropriate commissions of...
- Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach has not explained why it is to be conducted in private and why the Department of Finance is excluded.

- Order of Business (19 Jan 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: Everyone in the House and the general public are horrified by the scenes of Haiti on our television screens and in newspapers. Will time be provided this week for a report from the Minister?

- Order of Business (19 Jan 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: I was somewhat surprised not to see the Bill in the Government's list of legislation to be published this session. It is still in section C of the legislative list, namely, a Bill for which the Government has not yet approved heads. Are there heads for the Bill? Does anyone know what the directly elected mayor of Dublin will do, what type of office it will be and what types of power it...

- Independent Members. (19 Jan 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: Every time we ask these questions about the agreements between the Government and the Independent Deputies, we seem to run into the sand and we have never been able to track down where are the agreements. Nobody has ever put them on the record of the House or told us exactly what is in them. It is a bit like chasing the Holy Grail. I have come to the conclusion that there are no...

- Innovation Task Force. (19 Jan 2010)
Eamon Gilmore: The Government's approach to the task force seems to have all the lack of urgency that is so typical of this Government. The idea of an innovation task force was announced by the Government in December 2008 with great fanfare in Dublin Castle to introduce the Government's plans for a smart economy. It took all of six months to get the task force set up, and it was not set up until June of...
