Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (4 Jul 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: We all agree with what the Taoiseach has said about Mr. MacEntee being given adequate time to make whatever investigations he thinks might be fruitful. I wish, however, to ask the Taoiseach a couple of questions. As he said, the commission of investigation arises from the unresolved matters on the Barron inquiry. I am reminded of a parliamentary question on 28 March to the Taoiseach and his...

Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (4 Jul 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: I do not want to unnecessarily probe a delicate area, but can the Taoiseach say any more about structural changes? It strikes me as a slightly unusual practice to accept a report from Mr. Justice Barron and for Department officials to recommend changes as to structure. Were there other changes or was factual matter questioned in that regard? I presume my tabling of the question and the...

Order of Business. (29 Jun 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: I have been raising for some time with the Taoiseach the question of a number of reports it appears the Government has deliberately contrived not to publish before the Dáil goes into recess to avoid a debate on them. What is the problem with publishing the Dalton report, which the Minister has had in his possession since 5 April? What conceivable reason could there be for the delay, given...

Order of Business. (29 Jun 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: The shooting of Mr. John Carthy happened in 2000, the Barr tribunal hearings in 2004 and still the report has not been published. It was due to go to the printers, according to the tribunal, five weeks ago. In any event, it is not credible in 2006 that a delay with the printer is the reason the report has not been laid before the House. The O'Sullivan report into the statutory rape affair and...
