- Leaders' Questions (27 Nov 2007)
Eamon Gilmore: On 23 November 2004, almost three years ago to the day, the Minister for Health and Children introduced the Health Bill in this House. She stated that, "the two ways Government health policy should be judged; better outcomes for patients and better value for taxpayers' money. To achieve them, we badly need clarity of roles and accountability, political responsibility for the Minister and...
- Leaders' Questions (27 Nov 2007)
Eamon Gilmore: I am not reflecting on Dr. O'Doherty, as the Taoiseach well knows. The Minister stated in the House in a reply in early November that Dr. O'Doherty's investigation would examine the mammographies and the ultrasounds. By whom or where was it decided that there should be a separate investigation by Peter Naughton into the ultrasounds? The issue I raise does not relate to Dr. O'Doherty's...
- Leaders' Questions (27 Nov 2007)
Eamon Gilmore: This House does not have confidence in the Minister for Health and Children, nor does the public and the staff of the health service.

Eamon Gilmore: I agree with Deputy Kenny. I return to the Taoiseach's suggestion that we have a free vote on this matter.

Individual Deputies should be able to express their points of view on the health service and the performance of...

- Official Engagements. (27 Nov 2007)
Eamon Gilmore: I support the structured dialogue process that has been initiated between the Government and the churches. Does the Taoiseach plan to widen that process to include the body politic as a whole? The process at present is confined to the Government and the churches. I understand that the churches have set out their priorities and concerns about issues they wish to have addressed as part of...
- Official Engagements. (27 Nov 2007)
Eamon Gilmore: Would the Taoiseach consider it a good idea to establish a national education forum? As he said, the majority of the issues being discussed as part of the structural dialogue, not surprisingly, centre around the area of education. He has given a good outline of the current situation, in which there is a large range of churches and an increasing demand for separate provision. Whether it is...
