- National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (16 Sep 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: It would be better than the Minister's contribution.
- Leaders' Questions (16 Sep 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: I seek the Ceann Comhairle's indulgence before I ask my Leaders' question. I understand there has been a bad crash on O'Connell Street, Dublin, between a Luas tram and a bus. I wonder if the Minister for Transport might take an opportunity during the afternoon to report to the House on it and perhaps to exchange views with transport spokespersons. The Taoiseach is asking the people to bear...
- Leaders' Questions (16 Sep 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach did not understand the question I asked him or has deliberately decided to avoid answering it. I did not ask the Taoiseach to give his opinion on the waste of public money; I am taking that for granted. None of us stands over the waste of public money. I asked the Taoiseach if he accepted his Government's responsibility for that waste and if he would apologise to the people...

- Suspension of Member (16 Sep 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: There are many people at home watching the proceedings of this House this afternoon and they are doing so because they are hurting. They are hurting due to people losing jobs, businesses going to the wall and all of the bad news that is being inflicted upon them as a result of all we have seen. This House has been closed down for long enough this summer and it is about time that we got on...
- Order of Business (16 Sep 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: I, too, on behalf of the Labour Party oppose the Order of Business presented by the Government. The Bill before us, the National Asset Management Agency Bill, is the most important economic legislation that has come before the House since Independence. Not only today's taxpayers but future generations of taxpayers - our children and even our grandchildren - may pay for decades to come for...
- Order of Business (16 Sep 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: On behalf of the Labour Party, I too oppose this proposal. In doing so, I take issue with the patronising remarks of the Taoiseach in responding to the words of opposition that were expressed on the previous proposal. He rather patronisingly referred to his willingness to listen to constructive proposals and ideas. He and the Minister for Finance have been getting constructive proposals in...
- Order of Business (10 Jul 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: The Labour Party has given very careful consideration to the proposal from the Government that the House should adjourn until 16 September. I appreciate that the Government is tired, exhausted, bruised, battered and beaten.
- Order of Business (10 Jul 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: If the Government needs a break from the exertions of governing they can be facilitated with a break for much longer than nine weeks.
- Order of Business (10 Jul 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: That is exactly what we are planning on giving you. Putting the House into suspension for nine weeks when there is unfinished business and business that is being finished too quickly is not the way to do it. When the House reconvened in September of last year it was to debate the Government's approach to the banking system. That is not finished business. We still do not have the NAMA...
- Order of Business (10 Jul 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: -----to get a political reputation for himself for dealing with gangland crime he is now in danger of leaving those very gangland people at liberty by rushing legislation which is now in danger of being tied up for a long time in the courts.
