- Order of Business (7 Apr 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: I have two questions. Will the Government publish a revised Book of Estimates? When will it be published or will it be incorporated in the Budget Statement we are to get later today? In an earlier reply the Taoiseach said the House would have an opportunity to vote on the budget. I know we will have opportunities to vote on particular issues that may arise in the budget during some of the...
- Order of Business (7 Apr 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: In the past two years, the House has not voted on the budget. I suppose the 2007 budget is of academic and historical interest now. It is a bit of a work of fiction considering all that has happened since. When does the Taoiseach envisage the actual vote on the general financial resolution will be brought to the House?

- Leaders' Questions (7 Apr 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: It is fair to say that this afternoon the mind of the country is on the announcement from the Minister for Finance, Deputy Lenihan, of the second budget for 2009. This will be announced in an hour's time and no doubt it will have implications for the pay packets of people all over the country with regard to taxes and levies, and so on. That is probably what most people will be discussing...
- Leaders' Questions (7 Apr 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: I am curious about the way in which the Government is planning to do this. I understand from what the Taoiseach said that the issue of the banks is to be dealt with in the Budget Statement by the Minister, Deputy Lenihan. The significance and scale of what is being done, or intended to be done, is very large. What has been done already is very large. The guarantee exposes the Irish...

- Order of Business (2 Apr 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: I wish to raise two matters. First, members of the Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland are protesting outside the House this morning in connection with the failure of the Government to honour a commitment given that a unit would be provided for sufferers of cystic fibrosis at St. Vincent's Hospital. The promise was that the unit would be provided in 2010, but the Government has reneged...

- Order of Business (1 Apr 2009)
Eamon Gilmore: The Ceann Comhairle heard the Taoiseach's reply to my earlier question in connection with the recruitment embargo. He stated that all exceptions to the recruitment embargo would require the approval of the Minister for Finance. Do I take it, therefore, that as these issues arise, for example, there are nurses on short-term contracts which must be renewed, and where parliamentary questions...
