Liz McManus: The Minister is great at making promises and then not delivering on them. He promised that we would have postcodes in early 2011, but there is not a chance in hell of that happening now. How do these promises come about? I plead with him to ensure that we have the most efficient postcode system possible. We cannot afford to do anything less and he needs to ensure that we have a unique...

Liz McManus: Earlier I asked the Taoiseach about the Climate Change Bill. I understood from Green Party sources that his Department held it up. He clarified that and said it was not the case. Since the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government tweeted that the heads of the Bill would be published on 16 November, although nothing happened subsequently, will the Government take the...

- Cabinet Committees (24 Nov 2010)
Liz McManus: What is the point in having a Cabinet sub-committee on climate change? It does not meet, nothing is happening, there is no Bill and there are no results. At this stage the Taoiseach might consider abandoning the project of having a Cabinet sub-committee dealing with climate change but never meeting.

Liz McManus: Is the Taoiseach stating then that the Minister, Deputy Gormley, was misleading the public? He made a very clear statement on the web.

Liz McManus: It seems that one can say anything. If one is a Minister, one can say what one likes but it does not have to be true. Maybe the Taoiseach would reply on who is holding up the legislation and on why the Minister, Deputy Gormley, made a commitment to the public which turns out to be untrue.
