Prison Inspection Reports (20 Sep 2011)

Dara Calleary: I endorse the Minister's remarks about Judge Reilly. Has the Minister performed a similar exercise with the Prison Service, as is under way with the Garda Commissioner, with regard to impending retirements? What will be the likely impact of those retirements on the service or on the Minister's plans for it?

Crime Prevention (20 Sep 2011)

Dara Calleary: I agree with the Minister on the Garda drug find. Considerable work is being done in this regard at local level. I welcome, in particular, the use of asset profiling.

Commercial Rents (20 Sep 2011)

Dara Calleary: Will the Minister provide a flavour of the outline proposals?

Reform of the Common Agricultural Policy: Motion (Resumed) (15 Sep 2011)

Dara Calleary: Were any other sector about to undergo the changes and challenges faced by agriculture with the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy we would have queues of Members to speak on it.
