Data Protection. (24 Sep 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: The matter that has to be addressed is the public's concern about personal and sensitive information being accessed by somebody who should not have it.

Order of Business (24 Sep 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: It is the Government's responsibility to propose the legislative programme for the House. In my time here I have never seen such a pathetic legislative programme as we have for this week's business. What we have before us for these two days shows us that this Government is now so long in office that it has lost touch with reality and with the people that sent us here. The Cabinet is...

Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: I asked what the Taoiseach has done, in the ten or 11 weeks since this Dáil last met, to find jobs for the 45,000 people who have lost their employment. What new initiatives has the Government taken in that period? I received a long answer that suggested the Government will carry on with FÁS and with its approach to the public finances. A case of "as you were". It is clear from the...

Order of Business (Resumed) (10 Jul 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: It cannot introduce legislation on time to ensure it is fully debated in the House. It uses the guillotine at the last minute and is now running for the bunker.

Will we have a real legislative programme for the full year where the Dáil can deal with...

Eamon Gilmore: Three weeks ago, the Labour Party proposed a motion that the Dáil should continue in session until the end of July and return in early September. We argued in favour of that on the grounds that the country is facing serious economic and political difficulties. The Government needs to be accountable to the House in a way that it has not been before. I acknowledge that as a result of that...

Order of Business (Resumed) (10 Jul 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: Since the general election last year, we have had the poorest legislative performance by any Government since the foundation of the State. The lowest number of Bills have been put through the Dáil. In the course of 24 hours, we have the usual exercise by the Government where it attempts to rush Bills through at the last minute. The Intoxicating Liquor Bill was passed the other night when...
