- Northern Ireland Issues. (22 Mar 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: Is the Taoiseach saying he is opposed to the whole idea of a shadow Assembly or simply to one not premised on the basis that the executive would be up and running by a set date? I presume the Taoiseach agrees that, as we approach the eighth anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, a great deal of the goodwill created by it is in danger of dissipating. After his meeting with the British Prime...

- Northern Ireland Issues. (22 Mar 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: What is the view of the two Governments on the alternative SDLP proposals that the commissioner is drawn proportionately from the parties? It might be an alternative to the formula that the Taoiseach seems to be contemplating with Mr. Blair.
- Leaders' Questions. (22 Mar 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: I want to ask the Taoiseach about the implications of the High Court decision on the national aquatic centre. The Taoiseach will recall the Government made a decision in 2000 to build an aquatic centre in preparation, among other things, for the Special Olympics at an estimated cost of â¬30 million. However, it came in at â¬62 million. The trio of directors were the Taoiseach, the Minister...
- Leaders' Questions. (22 Mar 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: ââdecided to award a 30 year lease in the property worth â¬62 million to Dublin Waterworld Limited. This turned out to be a shelf company with a share capital of â¬127 and no assets. When the judge was confronted with this he said that to transfer a lease to a company with a share capital of â¬127 and no assets was truly astonishing. Dublin Waterworld Limited then secretly transferred...

- Order of Business. (21 Mar 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: Has the Government set its face against using the census to update the electoral register? At Question Time with the Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach, Deputy Kitt, there were several suggestions that advantage be taken of the fact that every door is being knocked on, allowing a more reliable database for the register.

- Leaders' Questions. (21 Mar 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: What is wrong with that reply is that the Taoiseach, like the Minister, is rhyming off statistics as if we were insulated in this House from what is going on in the streets and the estates. There is little point in telling people one is spending more money. The Government is spending more money, on the health services, for example, but it is not getting better value for it. Crime rates are...
- Leaders' Questions. (21 Mar 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: On the Minister's performance yesterday he does not need any personal security. If the Taoiseach wants to move outside Dublin I will instance the case of the answers given to my colleagues, Deputies Stagg and Wall. The increase in serious crime in the past five years in Kildare is 55%. We can swop figures all day. Those figures came from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. The...

[6751/06]
- Public Inquiries. (21 Mar 2006)
Pat Rabbitte: Where does that leave us? Has the Pat Finucane inquiry run into the sand? Is that what the Taoiseach is saying? He referred to the cases selected at Weston Park. I presume he will recall the remarks of Judge Peter Cory at the time when he said: "Without public scrutiny, doubts based solely on myth and suspicion will linger long, fester and spread their malignant infection throughout [the...
