Small and Medium Enterprises: Motion (Resumed) (26 Nov 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: It is not a mentor that small businesses are looking for now. It is money and credit. It is a means by which they can keep going for another period of time.

In fact, they can be used by way of a two-year loan, which is very...

Order of Business (26 Nov 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: I will come at it in a different way. They say one should never ask a question in the Dáil unless one already knows the answer. I wish to know the Government's plans to introduce the Bill to the House. When will Second and Committee Stages take place?

Leaders' Questions (26 Nov 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: Mr. Molloy has done the honourable thing by offering his resignation. I am sure that was a difficult decision for him and I wish him well. From time to time, when things go wrong, we get resignations of senior public servants.
