- Order of Business (3 Oct 2006)
Trevor Sargent: I asked this Taoiseach about this legislation, the Charities Regulation Bill, with the question I asked him in 1999 about being a beneficiary of gifts etc. I asked then and repeatedly since I was elected to this House because the 1990 Costello report indicated there was a need for reform of charities. Some 127 bodies benefiting from charitable status were not in the public domain at the...

- Disclosures relating to the Mahon Tribunal: Statements (3 Oct 2006)
Trevor Sargent: There is a third option, which would also be a positive action. Will the Taoiseach introduce legislation to ban corporate donations to political parties and limit personal donations to nominal sums rather than a sum equalling the price of a house or a large yacht? Will he cut the financial ties between vested interests and policymakers forever? By normal standards, including his own...

- Freedom of Information. (3 Oct 2006)
Trevor Sargent: Can the Taoiseach estimate whether the increasing number of requests is linked to the increase in the number of bodies covered by the FOI Act? In respect of the Department of the Taoiseach, for example, the Law Reform Commission is not covered. Is there any good reason for this, given that the commission is his Department's responsibility? Has the Taoiseach taken the advice of the...

- Departmental Expenditure. (3 Oct 2006)
Trevor Sargent: With regard to Deputy Kenny's question about the National Forum on Europe, given that the Department's Estimate increased by 15% this year, will that additional money be expended? Does the Taoiseach expect a further increase will be needed in 2007? If so, will he outline the activity that will take place to warrant that? I refer to the allocations for the Moriarty tribunal. The House...

- Social Partnership Agreements. (3 Oct 2006)
Trevor Sargent: Having listed to the Taoiseach's reply I did not hear much reference to the answer I expected to Question No. 16. I will focus on that question given that time is limited. The Taoiseach mentioned that he was disappointed with other countries that have not opened up their borders to the extent that Ireland has done. Likewise, does he recognise the disappointment in other countries that...
