Report on Long-Stay Care Charges: Motion. (10 Mar 2005)

John Gormley: The Tánaiste said that she wanted to be fair and truthful, and I would like her to be both when she answers my questions. Is it not the case that having expressed full confidence in the Minister, Deputy Martin, at the same time she is expressing no confidence in Mr. Kelly, and that by accepting his move to another Department she is expressing no confidence in him? On another matter, the...

Report on Long-Stay Care Charges: Motion. (10 Mar 2005)

John Gormley: Will the Minister give the House his precise recollection of the meeting which took place on 10 March? We would like to hear his accurate recollection of that meeting.

Report on Long-Stay Care Charges: Motion. (10 Mar 2005)

John Gormley: The Travers report is an indictment of the administrative and political culture in the Department of Health and Children. It exposes a litany of poor decisions, fudges and errors as well as "extreme maladministration" as the Tánaiste put it. By using that phrase she nicely prepared the way for this report. As I said at the time, it was preparing the way for civil servants to get it in the...

Report on Long-Stay Care Charges: Motion. (10 Mar 2005)

John Gormley: It seems this is the pattern we now associate with the Government, with a series of Ministers brazening it out. Let us be clear, the Tánaiste has supported the former Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Martin. She has said she does not want to adjudicate on a conflict of evidence. However, this is entirely disingenuous because she has adjudicated. She has made it clear as to what side...

Report on Long-Stay Care Charges: Motion. (10 Mar 2005)

John Gormley: ——and the Ministers of State, Deputies Callely and Tim O'Malley. Did the Tánaiste try to dissuade Mr. Kelly from going elsewhere? While she may smile about the matter, she accepted it because she wants to accept the version given to us by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Martin. I ask the Tánaiste to admit this is the truth today, as we need to have clarity on...

Report on Long-Stay Care Charges: Motion. (10 Mar 2005)

John Gormley: Clearly she has full confidence in the former Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Martin. The Tánaiste should no longer ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to climb up lampposts with posters saying "One-party Government — no thanks." It seems we now have one-party Government. The Progressive Democrats is indistinguishable from Fianna Fáil and I no longer know its...

Order of Business. (10 Mar 2005)

John Gormley: The Green Party opposes this proposal. Most people will get one day off for the bank holiday while we are proposing to get three days off. It is clear that this is the laziest most unproductive Parliament in Europe, thanks to this lazy unproductive Government.
