- National Economic and Social Development Office. (26 Jan 2005)
Pat Rabbitte: I welcome that information from the Taoiseach but I am sure he will agree that, to some extent, the damage has been done and we are shutting the door after the horse has bolted in the case of An Post. My question relates to the national centre for partnership and performance. Is there not a problem here in so much as the national centre for partnership and performance seems to concern itself...

- Leaders' Questions. (23 Nov 2004)
Pat Rabbitte: Has the Taoiseach had the opportunity to examine the annual report of the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland, published last Thursday?

That is more than half the number of people who die in road accidents each year and we quite properly spend tens of millions on the effort to save lives...

Pat Rabbitte: Radon gas is the most significant, secret and deadly killer after smoking. I do not see how the Taoiseach can say that the solution is ventilation and advice. It is exclusion precautions that must be installed, not ventilation, at a cost of some â¬10,000 per unit. The cost of treating a cancer patient could be â¬1 million. My colleague, Deputy Stagg, established a remedial grant scheme but...

- Order of Business. (23 Nov 2004)
Pat Rabbitte: I must oppose the late sitting because it is the only mechanism available to me to ask the Taoiseach to explain why he switched the Health Bill and the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Bill. The Government has been promising the Health Bill for 18 months. It is supposed to provide for major reform of the health service. The Bill was published on Friday, most Deputies will have received it in...
