- Leaders' Questions (16 Dec 2008)
Eamon Gilmore: I have listened carefully to the Taoiseach's reply to Deputy Kenny and, when taken with his replies to questions on the economic situation in the past couple of weeks, I have come to the conclusion that the Taoiseach and the Government do not know what they are doing regarding the banks. The Government's handling of the economic situation is downright incompetent at this stage. Since the...
- Leaders' Questions (16 Dec 2008)
Eamon Gilmore: Following the Taoiseach's answer I am none the wiser about what the Government is going to do about recapitalising the banks. The answer is more or less a repetition of the statement on Sunday night. I ask the Taoiseach to outline the timetable. He spoke about the banks coming back with their proposals in early January. Everybody is aware, at least in general terms, of the current state of...

- Public Service Reform. (16 Dec 2008)
Eamon Gilmore: Everyone is talking about public service reform, but as far as the Government is concerned we seem to be getting more reports than reform. First, there was the OECD report, then there was a task force to implement the OECD report and then a Cabinet committee was established. The Taoiseach tells us there is a programme office in his Department. The Minister for Finance set up a special...
- Public Service Reform. (16 Dec 2008)
Eamon Gilmore: Given there is such an emphasis on e-Government and shared services, will the Taoiseach provide some explanation as to why it was so expensive in the first place? It is merely a website and â¬40 million is a great deal to pay for a website. Why was it so expensive in the first place and why has it now disappeared?
- Public Service Reform. (16 Dec 2008)
Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach has done a very good job of describing the process by which the Government addresses public service reform in respect of the various consultations, reports, studies and different groups that are set up to do this, that or the other on public service reform. However, the Taoiseach has not told Members what are or what are likely to be the outcomes. I asked the Taoiseach to...
- Public Service Reform. (16 Dec 2008)
Eamon Gilmore: ââfor several minutes before eventually being sent full circle. The alternative is to look up the website. Incidentally, the Taoiseach has not answered this part of the question either. The idea was there would be a single website containing all public service information. It was to have been a one-stop shop, at which those who wished to get information about public services could...
