Consumer Price Index. (11 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Does theMinister of State agree that mortgage costs should be included in the CPI as personal debt is so high in the country? I recently read that, on average, every man woman and child in Ireland has personal debt of €32,000. Perhaps the Minister for Finance could update those figures for us. It is time to seek a more realistic CPI report, given the interest rates that will affect much...

Order of Business (11 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Given that this is the Minister for Finance's particular responsibility, will he let the House know whether the ethics legislation will be supplementary to the list we have in front of us of promised legislation, or how long will it be before it sees the light of day? I am referring to the arrangements of the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste to have new legislation. I expected the citizens...

Crime Prevention: Motion. (10 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Tá áthas orm deis a bheith agam labhairt ar an rún tábhachtach seo. Tá an Comhaontas Glas ag tacú leis, mar a luaigh an Teachta Boyle. This is an important and welcome debate, particularly in light of what I perceive as a certain amount of ambivalence on the part of the Government when it comes to dealing with addiction and social disadvantage. The Government has failed to get to the...

Order of Business (10 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: It is not agreed. For such an important issue, the Green Party has been allocated five minutes to make a contribution on a Green Paper which will have an impact, good or bad or most likely indifferent, as it does not rise to the challenges we face. It is completely unrealistic to try to pass it off with a five minute contribution and does not take into account the seriousness of the issue....

Trevor Sargent: I join the other party leaders in wishing the Taoiseach and the rest of the Irish Government's delegation well in Scotland.

Leaders' Questions (10 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I do not care who had the water and who had the wine but I want to ask about another anniversary this year. We had the 90th anniversary of the Easter Rising, where the Taoiseach took the salute in O'Connell Street, a very happy day for him. It was also the 90th anniversary of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1916. The Taoiseach mentioned earlier that he is doing away with much of the...

Leaders' Questions (10 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: The Taoiseach might need to clarify that because he says it is as far as he knows. I appreciate he may not have all the facts at his fingertips on that matter, I am simply putting the legal situation to him. This is not just about the Taoiseach, the Prevention of Corruption Act is much bigger than any activity the Taoiseach was ever involved in, it goes back much longer and will be there...
