Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2007)

Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach is reported in today's newspapers as quite rightly describing the murders at the weekend of Paul Quinn and John Daly as horrendous and of describing the killers as vicious thugs who must be treated accordingly.

In some Departments, the proposed allocation, or Estimate, for next year is either approximately the same as that for last year or, in some cases, slightly less. What is the ballpark pay provision in...

Benchmarking Awards. (23 Oct 2007)
