I reaffirm the Government's commitment to the project (the proposed redevelopment of Lansdowne Road) and its decision to provide €191 million towards the cost of the project, which is estimated to cost 292 million. - Minister for Sport John O'Donoghue
The Taoiseach responded by expressing doubts as to whether the project would proceed . . . Is everyone in the same boat regarding this project and ensuring its success? - Labour spokesman Jack Wall
We are all aboard and sailing. There is no doubt the project has the support of the Taoiseach and the Government. If it did not, we could not proceed with it. - Mr O'Donoghue
The recent Health and Safety Authority report shows that the health sector and, in particular, the accident and emergency department, faces a high risk of workplace violence, and current arrangements are inadequate. - Fine Gael health spokesman Dr Liam Twomey
We all agree that it is totally unacceptable that frontline healthcare workers might be subjected to threats or abuse. - Minister for Health Mary Harney
