- Order of Business (15 Nov 2006)
Trevor Sargent: I have two questions on promised legislation. The introduction of a carbon fund Bill was announced in the last budget and it was expected to be urgently required. I do not see any evidence of such urgency as it is still on the B list of promised legislation. Will the Taoiseach indicate whether its introduction is viewed as being urgently required, given the issue it is designed to address?...
- Leaders' Questions (15 Nov 2006)
Trevor Sargent: The overrun on Leaders' Questions is symptomatic of other overruns. Global warming is an issue regularly raised in the newspapers. The Irish Times today tells us that in 30 years time, losses from droughts, hurricanes and floods could cost up to â¬800 billion annually. This is a level of impact that I do not think the Taoiseach appreciates. I do not know if the Taoiseach has read the...
- Leaders' Questions (15 Nov 2006)
Trevor Sargent: Can I presume the Taoiseach made a mistake when he said he wants to put more emissions in place? Would the Taoiseach agree that boasting we have improved from 39th position to 33rd is like boasting that Ireland will beat San Marino in tonight's soccer match? Has the Taoiseach any ambition for this country in terms of its responsibilities and the weight of responsibility on this and future...

- Ministerial Responsibilities. (15 Nov 2006)
Trevor Sargent: That is somewhat rich. The Taoiseach is the man in the driving seat and he knows there is great appetite for change.
- Ministerial Responsibilities. (15 Nov 2006)
Trevor Sargent: I certainly have a question. As regards allocation of responsibilities among the Ministers of State, which I have asked about, has the Taoiseach considered responsibility for older persons' affairs? That area is growing significantly in terms of public impact as regards pensions and so forth. I wonder whether this is an area the Taoiseach has given some thought to. Following my question...
- Ministerial Responsibilities. (15 Nov 2006)
Trevor Sargent: It is an allocation of responsibility. Deputy Treacy seems to be an Inspector Clouseau in the Taoiseach's Department. I do not know if it is an official responsibility or if he has allocated it to himself.

Trevor Sargent: Question 8: To ask the Taoiseach the progress made in relation to structured dialogue between the Government and faith communities and churches; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34123/06]
- Government-Church Dialogue. (15 Nov 2006)
Trevor Sargent: Is it correct that the various churches and faith communities did not hear from the Government for an entire year, from the announcement in July 2005 onwards? This is the impression I have received. Will the Taoiseach address this because it does not indicate that the Government has ears â whatever about the churches having a voice? Will the churches be consulted over the formulation of...
