There was some speculation as to what the elements of the Taoiseach's response...

Order of Business (3 Dec 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: With respect, the tribunal was established by the House. It has been suggested to me that one Department, the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, issued an initial statement on Friday night stating that the Government had rejected the findings of the tribunal. It would be remarkable for such a statement to have been issued, particularly since the tribunal has not yet...

Has the Government or any individual Minister received the...

Order of Business (2 Dec 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: Last night, a shocking "Prime Time Investigates" programme showed a huge level of exploitation of workers in this country.

Legislation in respect of tightening up the rights of employees and...

Will he take this opportunity to inform the House what the tax returns were for the first 11 months of this year, and how they compare to the Government's projected figures? Can he say specifically by how...

Leaders' Questions (2 Dec 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach answered a lot of questions but unfortunately not the one I specifically wanted him to answer, so let me put it another way. I do appreciate the convention but since it is now 4.30 p.m. the Taoiseach is released from that convention.
