Departmental Advertising. (25 Apr 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: I accept what the Taoiseach says about the absence of any necessity to portray himself in these advertisements. I am only grateful he does not commission a stamp commemorating himself while he is still in office, as there is no need for it. The Taoiseach wrote to me recently about this issue. With regard to the criteria he set out, are procedures in place to monitor compliance? An issue can...

Northern Ireland Issues. (25 Apr 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: Question 3: To ask the Taoiseach if he will make a statement on the outcome of his meeting on 22 March 2006 with Mr. Raymond McCord regarding the circumstances of the murder of his son in Northern Ireland in 1997. [11812/06]

Northern Ireland Issues. (25 Apr 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: I thank the Taoiseach for agreeing to meet Ray McCord but want to pursue one aspect of the matter. When I initially raised the matter in an Adjournment debate on 27 October, I understood that the publication of the report of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland was imminent. However, the Taoiseach is now saying that it has been referred to the DPP. Can the Taoiseach tell the House when...

Commemorative Events. (25 Apr 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: Deputy Joe Higgins has a clear position on this issue. I am bound to say that in the case of Sinn Féin, it was a mistake for the ard comhairle to decide its president would not be present. I pay tribute to the performance of the Defence Forces. I am not sure it would be appropriate to have the same type of commemoration of the event each year between now and the centenary. I understand the...

Commemorative Events. (25 Apr 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: The Taoiseach said that the President laid a wreath to all those who lost their lives. I have previously asked the Taoiseach——

Commemorative Events. (25 Apr 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: I am nearly finished. Are there any plans to compile a definitive list of those who died between that time and the War of Independence? No definitive list exists of those who lost their lives and to whom the wreath laying by the President was dedicated.

Pat Rabbitte: But not the names.

Leaders' Questions. (25 Apr 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: Given the facts outlined by the Taoiseach, one would expect him to have the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform attend to these issues rather than reheat old tax plans or create diversions. I want to raise a different aspect of the criminal justice system with the Taoiseach. It is a sensitive matter and I regret any invasions of privacy caused by discussing the health of a retired...

Leaders' Questions. (25 Apr 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: I did not expect details from the Taoiseach but it is immensely disquieting that he is unable to offer any reassurances on a matter of such major importance to the criminal prosecution system. The Taoiseach manifestly dodged the questions and he should not try to pretend to the House that he would not be given a detailed note from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform to deal...

Leaders' Questions. (25 Apr 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: It is not. It is a matter for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform.
