National Tourism Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (22 Sep 2011)

Tom Fleming: I welcome the Bill, which is a positive initiative. As a growth industry, tourism is one of the prime indigenous products we have.

Tom Fleming: The major issue is that almost 450,000 people are out of work and many of them see no light at the end of the tunnel.

National Asset Management Agency (5 Oct 2011)

Tom Fleming: I firmly believe the figures given by the Minister, ranging from €75,000 to €200,000, for remuneration are exorbitant, given the state of the country, particularly as these are confidential contracts. Nobody should have the right to enter into such arrangements. The people concerned broke the country and are now being paid by the State and taxpayers. We do not want to see a repeat of...
